Modbus functions

17.1 Overview over Modbus-TCP functions of the FP Web-Server

General information on Modbus-TCP

The Modbus-TCP is a standard global communication protocol (IAONA,

Modbus-IDA) and is used to connect the PLC to third-party PLC

equipment, SCADA systems, OPC servers, and Modbus RTU gateways.

A Modbus-TCP server waits for an incoming connect from a Modbus-TCP

client. Hence:



A Modbus-TCP server (Ethernet) is comparable to a Modbus RTU slave

(serial).



A Modbus-TCP client (Ethernet) is comparable to a Modbus RTU master

(serial).

A Modbus-TCP server is addressed with a unique IP address and a port

number (default 502). Using a unit ID address in the Modbus-TCP data

packet, various interfaces of the Modbus-TCP server can be addressed. The

unit ID is comparable to the slave address in Modbus RTU communication.

Modbus communication is based on a number of specified function codes

which can address different data types. Which function codes and data

types are supported depends on the unit implementation.

FP Web-Server specific implementation

The FP Web Configurator Tool allows you to configure the FP Web-Server

(as an interface to the PLC) with the following Modbus-TCP server and

client functions.
