HOWTO Set MODBUS RTU address of cFP-180x?

[kellis.wiseman]

Hey Philibuster, 

I apologize. I am more familiar with the newer cFPs where you can set the address by hosting an I/O server on the cFP itself, so I am having to look through this documentation as I go. I have contacted one of our FieldPoint experts to see if he is aware of any documentation that I have so far been unable to find, and will be in touch with his response. Thank you for your patience!

Hey ~kgarrett,

Has there been any feedback on this issue so far?

Thanks

Hi Philibuster, 

You have wonderful timing! I actually just heard back from our FieldPoint expert (he has been out of the office). Here is his reply: 

"I have checked our code and double confirmed with our tech lead:The RTU address is hard coded in our firmware. (Now it is 1)"

I am sorry that we could not provide you with a way to change the address, but it seems that is just outside of the capabilities of the firmware for this old FieldPoint. On our newer models, you can create an I/O server and change the address at will, so you may want to take a look at them. Best of luck!
