Modbus via RS-485 on P3-RS remote base controllers

I have 6 P3-RS remote base controllers connected to a P3-CPU622 via ethernet. I typically sequence the RS-485 comms for a CPU. Can I sequence the RS-485 comms for each P3-RS independently, or do I need to aggregate all sequencing in one master sequence?🙂

    You can sequence them independently — for example, if you're using an MWX instruction, you can select the RS-485 port for each RS controller from the drop-down menu. Let me know if this doesn't fully answer your question, and feel free to share more details so I can help further. Thanks!
