Issue
Should the Modbus master (eg Xenta 913) also be terminated if it is in the middle of the Modbus bus?
Environment
- Xenta Server with Modbus capabilities
- Xenta 511, 527, 701, 711, 721, 731, 913
Cause
There are a number of installation possibilities/restrictions that may mean that the Modbus master does not always end up at one of the ends of the communication field bus.
Resolution
Only the ends of the bus should be terminated (see below).
