6.1.3.3 Modbus I/O Addressing
The following examples show how the Modbus addressing works especially when viewed from a Modbus Master:
In general, Modbus protocol allows two types of I/O addressing: implied and extended. However, Zlinx Xtreme I/Os support
implied I/O addressing only and uses HEX format. The addressing format ignores the I/O type digit (0 for DO, 1-for DI, 3 for AI
and 4 for AO) and address number is the same irrespective of the I/O type.
DO DI AI AO Modbus Memory Address
00001 10001 30001 40001 Ox0001
00002 10002 30002 40002 Ox0002
00003 10003 30003 40003 Ox0003

The function code will specify the holding register operation
For example:
-
Function code 2 associated with register Ox000B means read from digital input register 10011
-
Function code 6 associated with register Ox000B means write to analog output register 40011
6.1.4 Peer-to-Peer Mode Settings
Peer-to-Peer mode is ideal for wire replacement applications involving analog and/or digital I/Os. A typical application is to
control/monitor remote devices from a PLC or SCADA system where laying cables is too expensive or cannot be done for any
reason.
In Peer-to-Peer mode, digital and analog signals can be wirelessly transmitted in both directions between two Zlinx I/O
modules. The Zlinx I/O modules shall be indoor or outdoor (Zlinx Xtreme) type .For successful communication both Xtreme
Modules must be of the same frequency type and have similar I/O count, i.e. analog and digital inputs of one module shall
equal the analog and digital outputs of the other module and vice versa. One module is configured as Peer-to-Peer Master and
other is configured as Peer-to-Peer Slave. It does not matter which one is configured as Master. Additionally, Peer-to-Peer
Master address MUST match the Peer- to-Peer Slave address (1-255).
6.1.4.1 Peer-to-Peer Master
To configure the Zlinx Xtreme I/O Xtreme Module for Peer-to-Peer Master Mode:
1. Select the
Configuration
tab.
2. Select the
Peer-to-Peer Master
option button.
3. Set the Peer-to-Peer Master address from 1 to 255. Please note the Peer-to-Peer Slave address must also match.
4. The
Polling Rate
box contains the number of seconds between polls by the Master. The default value of 1 second is usually
satisfactory. The range of values is 0 seconds to 20 seconds. If the I/O points are not updating properly, try increasing the
value.
NOTE: “0” causes the firmware to transfer data as fast as possible with no delays..
