CSV Example: Modbus

Below is an example CSV file for a Modbus device.

name	description	units	valueType	readWrite	primaryTable	startingAddress
Attribute1	Description1	Unit1	Uint16	R	HOLDING_REGISTERS	1001
Attribute2	Description2	Unit2	Uint16	W	HOLDING_REGISTERS	1002
Attribute3	Description2	Unit3	Uint16	RW	HOLDING_REGISTERS	1003

The columns are defined by the protocol attributes, with a new device resource on each row:

name,description,units,valueType,readWrite,primaryTable,startingAddress
Attribute1,Description1,Unit1,Uint16,R,HOLDING_REGISTERS,1001
Attribute2,Description2,Unit2,Uint16,W,HOLDING_REGISTERS,1002
Attribute3,Description3,Unit3,Uint16,RW,HOLDING_REGISTERS,1003

name is a mandatory attribute.

Note

Any attribute that does not belong to the device resource property will be treated as a device resource attribute. These are attributes specific to the protocol. In the case of Modbus, primaryTable and startingAddress.

You can find further information about attributes for Modbus devices, see the Edge Xpert and Edge XRT documentation.
