9.1.2.4
Serial Modbus Master Service
The current Modbus design supports the Master mode on all six serial ports. It is configurable at the port level as follows:
•
Physical connection: RS-232, RS-422, RS-485
•
Baud Rate: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200
•
Parity: none, odd, even
•
Data Bits: seven, eight
•
Stop Bits: one, two
•
Station addresses
•
Multidrop is applicable only to RS-485 with up to eight devices per port; maximum of 18 devices per board
•
For RS-232 or RS-422, only one station is supported for these protocols
•
RTU
•
Time-out (milliseconds) per device
•
32–bit data
Word
ordering (for example, Least Significant Word [LSW] or Most Significant Word [MSW] first)
Note
First
denotes which word is in the lower-numbered register. All 16-bit registers are Big-Endian per standard
Modbus convention.
•
Device response delay time
The Modbus service is configurable at the signal level as follows:
•
Signal type
•
Register number
•
Read/write
•
Transfer rate, 0.5, 1, 2, or 4 Hz
•
Scaling: Raw min/max, Eng min/max
The service supports function codes 1-7, 15, and 16; it also supports double 16-bit registers for floating point numbers and
32-bit counters. It periodically (10 sec) attempts to reestablish communications with a dead station.
Type casting and scaling of all I/O signals to/from engineering units are supported on the PSCA and the ToolboxST
*
application, for both fixed I/O and Modbus I/O.
