Guidelines for configuring Modbus RTU and Modbus IP connections on CoolAutomation devices such as CoolMasterNet, CooLinkNet, and CooLinkHub.
This document explains how to connect CoolAutomation devices to Modbus networks. It covers both Modbus RTU (two‑wire RS‑485) and Modbus IP (Ethernet) connections, recommended wiring, and line assignments for CoolMasterNet, CooLinkNet and CooLinkHub devices.
It also details configuration commands, virtual address (VA) handling, Modbus tables, command reference syntax, and the optional legacy CoolGate mode. The guide includes default settings, how to change them, and examples of command usage.
| Default Modbus RTU frame format | 9600_8N1 |
|---|---|
| Default Modbus slave address | 0x50 (80 decimal) |
| Default Modbus TCP/IP port | 502 |
It is 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (9600_8N1).
CoolMasterNet and CooLinkHub support Modbus IP; CooLinkNet does not.
The default port is 502, which can be changed with the "modbus server port" command.
