2.4.4
Working with Modbus
The Modbus communication goes from the Main (MN) board, MN is slave. The data goes from MN to the Remote
Control (RC) with communication protocol Senso Argus link. The RC is master and the MN is slave. The Modbus
is 8 times faster as the Senso Argus Link communication. First the data has to be send to RC and back before the
Modbus master can send the next command. Modbus does not communicate with MN after 60 seconds the RC is
going out and Modbus is no longer
master.
The figure is showing the communication between RC and MN with Modbus and Senso Argus Link. The
blue
line
is read communication and the
red
is write communication beginning with the Modbus packets. In the next
paragraphs the packets are explained.
2.4.4.1
Read Commando
The table on the right shows an example of a
Read
frame.
MN is receiving Read commando 03
MN asks data of Read buffer
RC sends Write module data to Read Buffer of MN
2.4.4.2
Write Commando
The table on the right shows an example of a
Write
frame.
MN is receiving Write commando 06
MN Write buffer receives data
MN Set write disable bit in MN Write buffer
MN
Set write
disable bit in MN Read buffer
RC reads MN Write buffer in Read module
RC Write module reads Buffer
RC Reset write disable bit in Write buffer
RC Write module sends to MN Read buffer
MN
Reset write
disable bit in MN Write buffer
The packets can be written if:
Data byte is with in the right range
The write disable bit zero is.
