1 OVERVIEW
(2) Supporting slave function of MODBUS
R
/TCP communication
The QJ71MT91 supports the slave function of MODBUS
R
/TCP communication,
which is an open network system for factory automation, and it is compatible with
various MODBUS
R
/TCP master devices (hereafter abbreviated to the masters)
of other manufacturers.
The slave function supports the following two functions.
(a) Automatic response function
The QJ71MT91 can automatically respond to a request message received
from the master.
A sequence program for the slave function is not needed.
(b) MODBUS
R
device assignment function
Using MODBUS
R
device assignment parameters, the MODBUS
R
devices
are correlated with the programmable controller CPU device memory.
This enables direct access from the master to the programmable controller
CPU device memory.
Supporting the MODBUS
R
devices of large capacity, the QJ71MT91 allows
all device memories of the programmable controller CPU to be assigned.
