8. Tips pamaké
- Modbus Map: For integration with HMIs or other Modbus master devices, the Modbus register map is essential. Always refer to the official Waveshare Wiki for the most up-to-date Modbus map and detailed communication protocols.
- Range Configuration: Pay close attention to both the physical jumper settings and the software configuration for input ranges (voltage/current, and specific ranges like 0-5V vs 1-5V). Mismatched settings can lead to incorrect readings.
- Baud Rate Adjustment: If you need to adjust the baud rate from the default, ensure your Modbus master is configured to match the new setting. This is a common point of failure for communication.
- Sasayogian tanaga: While the module supports a wide voltage range, using a stable and clean power supply (e.g., a regulated 12V supply) is crucial for optimal performance and accuracy.
