FAQ – Practical Answers

Q: Can I use this module with third‑party Modbus devices?
A: Yes. It supports standard Modbus RTU/ASCII, works with most drives and meters.
Q: What is the maximum number of slaves?
A: Up to 32 devices (address 0…247, but practical limit is 32).
Q: How long is the cable and tap?
A: Main bus up to 1300 m; tap links up to 15 m.
Q: Does it support Uni‑Telway?
A: Yes, fully supports Uni‑Telway and character mode.
Q: Any experience with noisy environments?
A: The isolated RS485 and CRC16 handle interference well. Use shielded cable for best results.
Q: Which software do I need?
A: Unity Pro (or compatible) for configuration.
Q: What if I need more than 32 devices?
A: Consider adding another master or using a gateway. This module fits 32‑device networks.
