If you do not have a Modbus PLC available to test the Modbus communications, then you
can download the Hardy Modbus Link test software from the Hardy Web site at
http://www.hardysolutions.com. This program can be found currently on the HI 4050
products page under the Docs & Programs tab.
Installing the Hardy Modbus-Link Test Package:
If you do not have a PLC or other
client, Hardy has provided the Hardy Modbus-Link Client to test communications with the
HI 6500 unit. This client package only communicates with the unit and is not a full
communications package. If you have problems with this test, contact Hardy Technical
Support. Double click the Hardy Modbus-Link .exe file to install the software on your PC.
Upon completion, a Hardy Modbus-Link icon appears on your Desktop.
Modbus services are specified by function codes that are elements of MODBUS request /
reply PDUs. MODBUS is implemented for the HI 6500 using TCP/IP over Ethernet. The
Client/Server definitions are as follows:
•
Client - The module asking for data.
•
Server - The module providing the data.
NOTE
MODBUS is positioned at level 7 of the OSI model and is accessed at a reserved system
port 502 on the TCP/IP stack. It will support communication with up to 10 different hosts
(sockets).
Configuring MODBUS
Step 1. Click the Hardy Modbus-Link icon to open the Hardy Modbus-Link display.
