HOST CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES
MODBUS WITH FIX AND COMMANDER 150
Either the MB1 or EMP driver may be used, though EMP is recommended. The MODBUS guide uses 1 and
2-digit numbers for addresses. Note that the actual addressing requires a 5-digit number. For digital
addresses, use 000xx format, where xx represents the coil address from the instruction book. For analog
addresses, use 400xx format, where xx represents the register address from the instruction book.
