5.6 Deployment - Modbus
5.6.1 Modbus - Overview
The number of input and output data, dependent on the IO-Size, is parameterizable via
GSD file at the 040-1CA00. For the deployment with Modbus a hardware configuration
must always be executed.
The following components are required for the deployment of the System SLIO Modbus
modules:
n
Master System consisting of System SLIO with CP 040
n
Slave System consisting of System SLIO with CP 040
n
Siemens SIMATIC manager respectively WinPLC7 from VIPA
n
GSD file
n
VIPA handling blocks Fx000011_Vxxx.zip
n
Serial connection between both CP
The CP 040 always requires a hardware configuration. For this the inclusion of the VIPA
GSD file into the hardware catalog is necessary. The parameterization has the following
approach:
n
Start the Siemens SIMATIC manager respectively WinPLC7 from VIPA.
n
Install the selected GSD-file in the hardware catalog.
n
Configure a SLIO system.
n
Insert a CP 040 labeled with "Modbus".
n
Parameterize the CP 040 to your specifications.
n
Transfer your project to the PLC.
Except of the "Modbus Slave short", the communication always requires a PLC applica-
tion. For this the communication happens via handling blocks that you may include into
your configuration tool by means of the VIPA library Fx000011_Vxxx.zip. The library is
available at the service area of www.vipa.com.
5.6.1.1
Communication options
The following text describes the communication options between Modbus master and
Modbus slave with the following combination options:
n
CP 040 Modbus Master
n
CP 040 Modbus Slave short
n
CP 040 Modbus Master
n
CP 040 Modbus Slave long
Modbus Master
The communication in master mode happens via data blocks deploying the CP 040 han-
dling blocks FB 60 - SEND and FB 61 - RECEIVE (or FB 65 SEND_RECV). Here you can
transfer up to 250byte user data.
Modbus Slave short
The Modbus Slave short mode limits the volume of user data for in- and output to the IO-
Size. For this you only need a hardware configuration at the slave section.
