11.1.4 Using Modbus TCP/IP Communications
The MCT Modbus TCP server interface allows a user to remotely monitor and control the MCT via another
device or software application compatible with Modbus TCP/IP protocol. The acronym TCP stands for
Transmission Control Protocol while IP stands for Internet Protocol. These protocols are used together and
handle the transfer of data over the internet. When Modbus information is sent using these protocols, the data
is passed to the TCP layer where additional information is attached and then passed to the IP layer. The IP
layer then places the data in a packet (or datagram) and transmits it.
Like the MCT Modbus serial interface, the TCP interface is always active; however, rather than using the
Modbus Address on the communications screen as the slave address, the MCT IP address is used as the slave
address. In order for Modbus TCP communications to function, the Master (or Client in Modbus TCP)
establishes a connection with the Slave (or Server) using the IP address. In this case, the server is the MCT.
The MCT waits for an incoming connection from the client, and once a connection is established, the MCT then
responds to queries from the client until the client closes the connection.
In order for a client to establish a connection with the MCT, the following settings must be used by the client:
IP address (of slave) =
MCT IP address as displayed on the Communications screen
Unit Identifier =
MCT Modbus Address as displayed on the Communications screen.
Port Number =
502
NOTE:
The implementation and/or use of a Modbus TCP client is outside the scope of this manual. For
additional information regarding Modbus TCP/IP protocol there are many resources available online
(
http://www.modbus.org/specs.php
) or consult the documentation provided with your client software
application.
For a list of supported functions and data available over the Modbus TCP interface, see Appendix
section A.1 Modbus Communications.
