7.1 MODBUS:
This section describes how the MODBUS standard is applied to the ADR Series platform. It
is not a description of the standard itself. The level at which this section is written assumes
that the reader is already familiar with the MODBUS standard.
The MODBUS protocol is a master/slave protocol, defined and administered by the
MODBUS Organization. For further information on MODBUS and the protocol specifications
please see the MODBUS web site (
www.modbus.org
).
7.2 MODBUS RTU
Overview: Physical Connection and Link Layer
For connecting on MODBUS use:
Rear serial port 1 - for permanent SCADA connection via EIA(RS)485
The MODBUS interface uses ‘RTU’ mode communication rather than ‘ASCII’ mode as this
provides more efficient use of the communication bandwidth. This mode of communication is
defined by the MODBUS standard.
The IED address and baud rate can be selected using the front panel menu or with RTV2
Software.
When using a serial interface, the data format is: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit (a total of
10 bits per character).
7.3 MODBUS/TCP
Overview: Physical Connection and Link Layer
For connecting on MODBUS/TCP use:
Rear port 1 - for permanent SCADA connection Ethernet
