The VERTEX control units use the TCP version of the Modbus protocol. The service communicates at the standard port 502.

The Analog Input Registers memory bank is used to store data on individual devices (luminaires). The bank has 16-bit read-only registers.

The bytes of individual registers are stored in the Little Endian order.

The Address column shows the number of the initial register in which a given value is stored.

The Number of registers field shows the data size expressed as 16-bit registers. If a register includes more than one value (e.g. two 8-bit values), the whole register should be read and then the value should be broken down into bytes according to the order used(Little Endian). Two values packed to the same register will have the same address.

IP

32

The VERTEX IP address.

The first register includes two first address octets in the reversed order (Little Endian), and the second register contains the next two octets.

Network Mask

32

The VERTEX network mask. The first register includes two first address octets in the reversed order (Little Endian), and the second register contains the next two octets.

DefaultGateway

32

The VERTEX default gateway. The first register includes two first address octets in the reversed order (Little Endian), and the second register contains the next two octets.

6

Dns1

32

The address of VERTEX’s basic DNS server. The first register includes two first address octets in the reversed order (Little Endian), and the second register contains the next two octets.

8

2

Dns2

32

The address of VERTEX’s additional DNS server. The first register includes two first address octets in the reversed order (Little Endian), and the second register contains the next two octets.

10

4

UID

64

The VERTEX ID number. Written as a decimal integer, e.g.  34585567102394561039

The bytes in the next registers are reversed (Little Endian). The complete value is composed of four registers.
