Mbus_Ctrl / Mb_Ctrl2 Instruction (Initialize Master) - Siemens SIMATIC S7 System Manual

9.3.2.2

MBUS_CTRL / MB_CTRL2 instruction (initialize master)

MBUS_CTRL and MB_CTRL2 have identical behavior and parameters. MBUS_CTRL is for a
single Modbus RTU master. MB_CTRL2 is for a second Modbus RTU master.
Correspondingly, MBUS_MSG is for use with MBUS_CTRL and a single Modbus RTU
master. MB_MSG2 is for use with MB_CTRL2 and a second Modbus RTU master.

The program must call the MBUS_CTRL / MB_CTRL2 instruction every scan (including the
first scan) to allow it to monitor the progress of any outstanding messages initiated with the
MBUS_MSG / MB_MSG2 instruction. The Modbus master protocol does not operate
correctly unless the program executes MBUS_CTRL / MB_CTRL2 every scan.

The value for the Mode input selects the communications protocol. An input value of 1
assigns the CPU port to Modbus protocol and enables the protocol. An input value of 0
assigns the CPU port to PPI system protocol and disables Modbus protocol.

Description
The program calls the MBUS_CTRL / MB_CTRL2 in-
struction to initialize, monitor, or to disable Modbus com-
munications.
Before executing the MBUS_MSG / MB_MSG2 instruc-
tion, the program must execute the MBUS_CTRL /
MB_CTRL2 without errors. The instruction completes and
sets the Done bit ON before continuing to the next in-
struction.
This instruction executes on each scan when the EN
input is on.
