The driver was developed for a project with 5 controllers on a single RS485 port. PrincipleSince the Watlow controllers uses the Modbus protocol to communicate with, all that needs to be done is to select the right addresses for the parameters of interest. A simple test program can be used to read or write to these addresses. An actual control program might need nothing more than 'read process value' and 'write setpoint'. The test program can perform the following actions:
DownloadsThe included watlow - demo.vi uses the abovementioned read and write functions as well as the 16-bit error checking for the Modbus protocol. Bart Boshuizen, 2007/07/21
