Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or
equipment damage.
2. Connect to your Mobile
TapNPass connects to Android and iOS mobiles via Bluetooth Low
Energy (BLE) and Near Field Communication (NFC).
It is pre-congured for serial or Modbus communication with target
systems using the Tap Toolbox app.
Note: TapNPass can also be recongured. See section 4.
Get Tap Toolbox
Go to Google Play Store or to the App Store. Download and install
IoTize Tap Toolbox.
Note: For Android mobiles (with NFC) and iOS (iPhone
XR/XS). Activate NFC and a data connexion, then hold the
mobile to the NFC indicator on TapNPass. Tap Toolbox will be
proposed automatically for installation.
Connect to mobile to TapNPass
1. Activate the mobile’s Bluetooth and data connections.
2. Press TapNPass’s Power button to start its Bluetooth.
3. Launch Tap Toolbox and select Scan to nd your TapNPass.
4. Select your TapNPass from the list of Bluetooth devices.
After you are connected, Tap Toolbox provides the utilities:
ŸTerminal: sends/receives characters via RS-232, RS-485 or USB
interfaces.
ŸModbus: drive one or more Modbus (slave) devices. Only
Modbus-RTU is supported.
1. Connect to a Target
Connect TapNPass to the target system. Available connections are:
Connection Cord TapNPass Target
Type Connector Connector
1
Serial RS-232 RS-232 cord RJ45 DB9
1
Serial RS485 RS-485 cord RJ45 DB9
2
Serial USB (host) USB (A) USB (A) USB
1
Serial w/Modbus-RTU Modbus adapter RJ45 RJ45
2
+ network cable
Notes:
1. Provided with TapNPass.
2. Not provided. Use any off-the-shelf cord of this type.
Selecting Terminal opens this utility for sending text commands and
visualizing responses.
ŸSettings: set input format and
visualization parameters
ŸDisplay: visualization area for
commands and responses.
ŸData input: click to access
keyboard and type text commands.
ŸSend button
3a. Terminal utility
Input Settings
UART settings
Click in the Terminal display.
These settings are specic to the
Terminal utility.
Click the menu icon on the left,
and select Settings.
These settings are common to
Terminal and Modbus utilities.
Click here to read
the settings from
TapNPass.
3b. Modbus utility
Selecting Modbus opens this utility for reading
and writing Modbus (slave) registers.
Settings: Set parameters that are specic to
the Modbus communication with the target.
Registers: List of registers to monitor.
Register denition: Displays values of
parameters of the selected register.
Input eld: Enter the value to be written
when using the write register command.
Command buttons: Execute the read or
write commands.
Dene a register to monitor
Click in the Registers area, then enter:
ŸSlave id (8-bit value)
ŸRegister address (16-bit value)
ŸType (default is 'holding register')
ŸFormat: registers are 16-bit. They are
truncated for 8-bit values. 32-bit values
use 2 consecutive registers.
ŸLength: the number of consecutive
registers to be accessed
ŸDisplay mode (HEX of DEC)
Click on Save and then Read.
The register is listed in the Register display and
the values are in the Register denition eld.
Save a register for later use
ŸClick on the register in the Registers area
ŸSwipe to the left
ŸClick on the Save button
This saves the register and related settings to a list of registers.
4. Advanced Conguration
Your TapNPass can be congured to:
ŸRequire login for access to features or data
ŸOpen an HMI app that you created for your systems or your
user
The IoTize Studio conguration envronment, detailed
documentation, application notes and app development
resources are available online at:
http://docs.iotize.com/GettingStarted/TapNPass/
5. Troubleshooting
App won’t display any register values
If Tap Toolbox Modbus utility does not display any values from
your Modbus slave, verify that:
ŸConnection cord is plugged into TapNPass and the target.
ŸConnection cord pin out is correct for your target. The
problem may be caused by inverted D0 and D1 signals.
To comply with the Modbus specication, TapNPass uses an
RJ45-RJ45 cord with a specic pin specication. Try this
cord rst.
If the provided cord does not work, you can also try an
Ethernet cord with the standard pin out.
If neither cord works, you will have to verify the pin
connections on the target and may have to adapt a cord to
your target’s pin out.
ŸThe UART settings are appropriate for the target.
ŸThe slave address is correct for the target.
ŸYou have access to the Modbus features in the current
TapNPass conguration. For a new TapNPass, the initial
conguration allows access without login for Modbus and
Terminal features. If the conguration has been changed,
you will have to obtain the login from the conguration
project or the user who congure the TapNPass.
