Configuration
Step 1. Communication Setup
1. Verify that the correct communication protocol channel is used. A communication
channel needs to be associated with a specific port (USB/COM) on the TankMaster
workstation in order to establish proper communication with a connected 2460
System Hub. See “How to Check Communication Channel and Port” on page 46 for
more information and Figure 4-1 on page 43.
2. Verify communication between the 2460 System Hub and the TankMaster PC. The
2460 can be connected to a TankMaster PC via a Rosemount 2180 Field Bus Modem, or
by using a RS232 or RS485 interface.
a. To verify communication with the 2460 System Hub, enter the System Hub’s Modbus
Address and click the Verify Communication button. The Device ID will appear if the
correct Modbus Address was entered (the 2460 is shipped with the default Modbus
address=245).
b. In case you would like to change the current Modbus address, or the address is
unknown, click the Change Address on Device button and follow the procedure as
described in How to change the Modbus address of the 2460 System Hub .
Note!
In case several 2460 System Hubs are connected using the same default address (245), you will
have to change the addresses of the 2460 System Hubs before the Verify command can be used.
See How to change the Modbus address of the 2460 System Hub for more information.
3. Click the Next button to continue the installation procedure of the 2460 System Hub.
