2 Modbus-RTU Control
2.1 Debugging software description
The debugging software is specially used to control the gripper and set debugging parameters
on the computer. Because there is no RS485 interface in the computer, the USB to 485 module is
needed to convert the interface to USB interface, which is convenient for the debugging and
control of the gripper in the computer.
2.1.1 Installation and wiring of debugging software
Connecting by debugging software is essentially controlled by RS485 interface. The specific
connection needs to be connected to the 24 V, GND, 485_ A(T/R+,485+) , 485_ B (T / R -, 485 -) 4
wires in total. The power supply is a 24 V DC regulated power supply. Plug the USB port of the
module into the USB port of the computer. The wiring definitions of different series are different.
Please connect according to the instruction of specific clamping claw, as shown below:
Figure 2.1 RS485 Connection
Software can be downloaded on the official website. Software and driver are integrated in the
process of software installation, and both are installed together. It is recommended to check the
create shortcut during installation.
Wiring instructions
·
①
:
when the device (computer) has RS485 interface, the communication can be directly
connected to RS485_A and RS485_B communication lines without transferring to 485
module through USB
·
②
:
in this way, other serial port debugging software (such as MODBUS poll) can be
used for debugging
