Modbus Serial - Whole bus disconnects when one device drops

[Steve-Mcl]

@Weller1

I have one more question regarding this. What should be the best/proper way to poll the devices? Clearly if I poll each of my 9 devices with the flex-getter like in the picture (with 1 second inject interval). The answers will start to stutter and messages come in very randomly. It works correctly but its not the action I want. I would like to have even flow of messages from the devices.

Your best bet is to wire in series.
