Dear Schneider Community,
I am having trouble trying to communicate to a panel server using Modbus in labview. I have set the IP address in the create modbus master vi. but I cannot read any input registers. I am new to this so any help or examples would be greatly appreciated. I have a heat tag sensor linked to the panel server under an address (100), but am not sure how to incorporate the heat tag address using labview.
Any suggestions on the proper way to do this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I think I figured out my issue. In labview (i'm using labview 2022 with data logging and supervisory module) when using the modbus master create vi it only lets you input an IP address. I had to add another vi from the utilities pallette which lets me add a "unit ID" to the modbus master information. This then provides a unit ID to the IP address and I can start polling information from the registers. That's my next battle and any tips are much appreciated from anyone that has done this before.
Thank you,
Stan
