Modbus Query Information

The Modbus feature on the device allows the user to enable the Modbus query server. You can query this server over Modbus-TCP for status information. NOTE: You must first enable Modbus on the device and enter the required settings in the UI under Administration > Access Configuration > Modbus Slave. Refer to the Modbus Slave section under Configuring Device Access in your user guide. See the MTR product page on our company website to find your product user guide. 

This page includes the necessary details to perform Modbus queries using a Modbus application such as Modbus Poll. Refer to the attached table. The following information applies to mPower 6.0 and above.

NOTE: The information below provides the raw values from the radios. The query set data is divided into two tables with one for Telit Radios and the other for Quectel radios. Interpretation of the values is radio-specific. Please consult the AT command guide for your radio to decode the values received from the Modbus Slave.
