One ModBus HLI is used to interface to a VESDAnet. Modbus HLI supports up to a maximum of 40 VESDA detectors on a VESDAnet. The Modbus HLI supports VESDAnet detector zone numbers between 1 to 200. The Modbus HLI divides up the address range into to 7 logical networks. For example the first 30 addresses are considered in network 1, addresses between 31 to 60 are in network 2 and so on.
