Continue setting up the Modbus RTU channel following the steps in the section below: Setting the RS-485 Configuration UI. 

Setting the RS-485 Configuration UI

1. Log into the SmartServer configuration UI using the username and password that appears on the SmartServer IoT.
   
   
2. The Network Configuration page appears.
   
   
   
   
3. Click the RS-485 tab.
   
   The RS-485 Configuration page appears.
   
   
   
   

4. Configure your RS-485-1 settings to match those shown in the figure below. When you configured the ADAM-4150 module at Modbus address 01, you also set the serial bit rate it would use to communicate. The above instructions set the baud rate to 19200. The module's serial frame does not use parity and looks for only 1 stop bit.
   
   
   

   
   
5. Click Update.

1. Access the SmartServer IoT CMS by using the CMS tab on the Configuration UI, or by entering the URL https://[SmartServer IP address]/cms/#/login. 
   
   
2. Go to the Devices Types widget and click the Import button ().
   
   
   
   
3. Select the ADAM-4150v20.dtp from the Start Kit Modbus RTU Channel folder in the DROP FILE HERE area.
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. Click IMPORT FILE.
   
   Notification messages will appear indicating that files are being uploaded and the CPU usage on the main CMS page will show increased activity. After about a minute, you should see a message similar to the one shown below. (Click  to close All information messages.)
   
   
   
   
5. Click BACK on the Device Types widget.
   
   
6. Go to the Devices widget, which will be used to add a Modbus device to the system. Take note of the device name and character cases that will be used in creating the device. 
   
   
7. Click the Create button () on the Devices widget and add a device as shown in the figure below (leave the Context field empty):
   
   • Name: DIO
   • Device category: Edge Device
     
     
     
     
8. Click NEXT.
   
   
9. Set the following fields as shown in the figure below:
   
   • UID: 01:1
   • Integration method: Manual assignment
   • Owner: SmartServer IoT
   • Driver: Modbus
   • Device type: ADAM-4150
     
     
     
     
10. Click SAVE.
    
    
11. To provision the device, click the Action button () on the Devices widget for DIO device.
    
    

12. Select the Provision device menu option.
    
    Within a few seconds, the DIO device fill should change from blue to green indicating that the device has be successfully provisioned. If the provision fails, confirm that the Modbus channel on RS-485-1 is set for 19200, no parity, and one stop bit as described in the previous section 618093 Setting the RS-485 Configuration UI section.
    

    Warning
    Warning: With SmartServer IoT release 2.8, the Modbus engine is locked in to communicate to the device with the channel parameters already configured at device creation. If the Modbus channel parameters are changed, you will need to remove the Modbus device and recreate it.
