distance. If you encounter communication problems between the Base Radio and server 
computer or existing system, try a slower baud rate setting. 
Once you have determined the Modbus Baud Rate you wish to use, follow the Base 
Radio menu map shown in Figure 6-1 to configure the Baud Rate. The factory default is 
19.2 K.

6.1.2  Modbus Device ID Setting 
The Modbus Device ID allows a PLC or DCS to find the proper Base Radio on a RS-485 
Network. 
Because Modus needs a device ID for each Transmitter, they have been virtually 
mapped according to the Base Radio with which they are communicating. The device ID 
range is dependent on the MODMAP setting in the Base Radio. (See Modbus Mapping 
Mode section 6.1.4 for more information.) 
In the Register Mapping Mode you may select any device ID from 1 to 247. This number 
will be the device Modbus device ID at which all the readable registers for the Base 
Radio and every Transmitter will be located. More detail about each register, and its 
meaning can be found in the Modbus Communications Protocol section. 
In the Device ID Mapping Mode you may select any device ID from 1 to 247 minus the 
number of Transmitters communicating with this Base Radio. The change in the device 
ID ceiling is due to the fact that each Transmitter’s device ID is located at its RF ID + the 
Base Radio device ID. Thus you need the space beyond the Base Radio address to 
contain all of the Transmitters’ addresses. 
For example: If there are two Base Radios on the Modbus RS-485 network, and each of 
the two Base Radios are communicating with three Transmitters, the device ID scheme 
would result as follows:
