I’m trying to read some data or any data at this point over Modbus but I’m not doing something right.

Here’s a screen shot from the device’s manual…  
I’ve tried [Modbus]IR160, [Modbus]2.IR160 and other combination but no luck.  
I get null Not connected in the tag diagnostics.

The device shows connected in the gateway.

What simple thing am I missing?  
Thanks
