Modbus Address
The interface accepts the Modbus address of the IMU to which it is connected.
The Modbus address is 255 and cannot be changed.
Intrusive Command Mode
The intrusive command mode can be configured with EcoStruxure Power Commission software. This software can enable or disable the ability to send the remote control commands over the Ethernet network to the interface, and to the other modules of the connected IMU.
-
If the intrusive command mode is Locked, the remote control commands are disabled.
-
If the intrusive command mode is Unlocked (default setting), the remote control commands are enabled.
