How can you make the   modscan software  as a slave ?

If this does not provide a solution, try this:
1) use modscan or mdbus (from calta computing) to poll the slave device using 
your laptop
2) try to capture the frame sent and received from the slave device, in order 
to get the correct frame that works.
3) from this information, use modscan as a slave and put it on the port of the 
FBM to see if the IA is sending the same frame as modscan is

Usually, when you're trying to poll a slave device, the frame sent from the IA 
may be different from the one you send using modscan, because from IA the frame 
is made in base from the IO points you've configured, so a quick way to see if 
what you're doing is correct is to see if the "poll holding register" is sent 
to the slave device the way it should.

I've been doing this from quite long, and generally the problem gets solved 
with this procedure. Usually, the errors are from bad address (you might change 
the register address to +1 or -1, try that), the conversion (depending on the 
device, the float numbers might be from a single 32 bit register or made from 2 
consecutive 16 bit registers, and when is from 2 registers, you may have to 
swap bytes, or even have two swap bits, ie, from 32...1 to 1...32)

Make sure also that the modbus function is correct, ie, function 3 instead of 
function 4 or function 4 instead of function 3.

Try it with a iin block for a single 16 bit register, if you can read try to do 
a swap f4:w3 for example.

Angel/Sahara,
Yes, I have 43001:F4. Sorry I mistyped it. There are three different types of 
devices communicating. Port1 and Port2 device are fine and data also is 
received.
The device which is a electric meter & connected to Port3 is unable to 
communicate. Rather in SMDH it shows me healthy if I don't configure any points 
in IACC. As soon as I configure a floating point, & download, the SMDH says 
"Device Failed".
So not sure what I am missing. Gerrit has suggested few things to check which I 
will try.
Any other help on the subject is appreciated Thanks !!
