Users attempting to configure and scale analogue units via the Modbus master and

network may find considerable difficulty with this issue. If specifically designed

software is available for configuration and scaling of Modbus devices, this may be the

simplest and most convenient method of scaling and encoding data. An example

of this is the PCS83 software, which is available from Eaton’s MTL product line for

configuring the MTL838B-MBF. This makes encoding and scaling decisions

transparent to the user.

The difficulties of implementing an encoding and scaling regime for the MTL838B-MBF

via the Modbus host are discussed in depth on page 37. Users are strongly

recommended to read this section before selecting the configuration method to be

used with the MTL838B-MBF.
