Control type*
* If the selected control type is local, the controller data can be accessed in read only mode by the PLC; with remote selection, the
controller data can be accessed in read and write mode by the PLC.
14.3 MODBUS PROTOCOL
●
RS485 2-wire communication support
3-pin connector (J10)
Terminal 1: A or +
Terminal 2: B or –
Terminal 3: 0 V
Line termination resistor: Connected if COM1 is ON
Not connected if COM1 is OFF
External BUS polarisation.
●
Transmission mode
• Series, asynchronous, half duplex, 1 start bit, 8 data bits,
• Parity configured by P702 (none, odd or even)
• Number of stop bits configured by P703 (1 stop bit or 2 stop bits)
• Communication speed configured by P701 (4800, 9600 or 19200)
• Slave no. on the bus configured by P705
●
Protocol
• Modbus (Gould Modicon)
• Compatible: JBUS (Merlin Gerin)
• RTU (GENERAL ELECTRIC protocol)
●
Codes for functions used
• 1 or 2: Read n bits
• 3 or 4: Read multiple registers (16 bits) Maximum of 126 registers read.
• 5: Write one bit
• 6: Write one register
• 8: Read diagnostic counter
• 11: Read event counter
• 15: Write n bits
• 16: Write multiple registers (16 bits)
●
Analogue value encoding
• Standard 32-bit IEEE format (2 registers).
• The byte order can be reversed with P704 (0:not reversed or 1:reversed)
Note: the register numbers correspond to the addresses coded on 16 bits.
●
Register definitions
• Function 3 or 4 is used for reading,
• Function 6 or 16 is used for writing.
