2.3.1. Read distance data example
The MODBUS protocol uses a master/slave architecture of communication where one
device or process has unidirectional control over one or more devices. In order to read
(inquire) live distance data from the sensor, please execute the following READ
command:
Read distance data:
●Slave ID: 1 to 247 (enter corresponding slave ID, 1 in our case)
●Type (function): 04 Input Register
●Address location: 0
●Length (Quantity): 2
Click “READING” to execute command. The distance data is now read from the sensor,
and displayed in the “Value” field. During the data read, the sensors onboard LED
indicator (Sel) will blink BLUE to signal that the slave device (sensor) has been
