Find Your Machine Connection Settings In Rostoc
Summary
Every setting Rostoc uses to reach your roaster is on one screen. Open Machines from the sidebar (or press G then M), click the machine, then click Connection. The left side holds the connection itself — the address or port and its parameters — and the right side, Stream Configuration, holds each reading Rostoc expects and how it is read. You can read these values off the screen at any time, and a screenshot of that one screen is the fastest way to show support exactly how the machine is set up.
Steps
- Open Machines from the sidebar, or press G then M. The list shows each machine with its manufacturer, model, and current connection status.
- Click the machine to open its settings. The sections are listed down the left: Machine Details, Connection, Controls, and Style & Colors.
- Click Connection. The connection type is shown first, and the fields below it depend on that type.
- Network machines using Modbus TCP or UDP show Host, Port, Timeout (ms), and Word Order under Data Encoding.
- Serial and RS-485 machines using Modbus RTU or ASCII show, under Serial Port: Port (the COM port on Windows, the serial device on macOS and Linux), Baud Rate, Data Bits, Stop Bits, Parity, and Timeout (ms).
- S7 machines show Host, Port, Rack, and Slot. USB, Bluetooth, and manufacturer network machines show their own fields, such as the Bluetooth device or the machine's own port and timeouts.
- Look at Stream Configuration on the right for the readings. Each row carries the Label shown on your charts, its Sensor Role, and the Unit the machine sends.
- Machines read over Modbus also show Device ID, Register Address, Function Code, Data Type, and Divider — the values a machine manual usually lists for each reading.
- To share the setup with support, screenshot the Connection section with both columns visible. Please send a screenshot rather than the diagnostics export: the diagnostics ZIP carries logs and system information, not your machine connection settings.
- Click Test Connection to check the settings as they stand. Renaming a machine or changing its settings does not affect roasts you already recorded.
