MODICON Modbus Slave RTU/TCP - settings at runtime?

Post by charliehbeijer »

Can settings be changed at runtime? (Slave Station Number, Serial settings,...)

i.e., I don't know what Slave Station Number my customer wants my panel to be. I'd like to control it with a persistent tag, or script.

You need to add an action to a button and then press settings when that change active controller dialog box comes up.
