Modbus Slave Communication
Modbus slave communication can be configured by selecting Modbus RTU Slave for port 2 and port 3 in the WindLDR Function
Area Settings. When a Modbus slave receives a request from the Modbus master, the Modbus slave reads or writes data according
to the request. The request is processed at the END processing of the user program.
Modbus slaves do not reply to the Modbus master for the broadcast requests.
