13. Protocol-Specific Information
This section will discuss topics that are specific to each of the supported
protocols.
13.1 Modbus/TCP
13.1.1 Overview
The interface card supports Schneider Electric's Modbus TCP protocol, release
1.0. The interface is conformance class 0 and partial class 1 and class 2
compliant, and allows up to 8 simultaneous Modbus TCP client connections
(sockets). Other notes of interest are:

•
Drive registers can be addressed as either holding registers (4X
references) or input registers (3X references). For example, accessing the
output frequency involves accessing holding register 41301 or input
register 31301 (i.e. offset 1301).
•
Specific bits within drive registers can be accessed as either coils (0X
references) or discrete inputs (1X references).
•
Because the transaction is handled locally within the interface card, write
data checking is not available. For example, if a write is performed to a
register with a data value that is out-of-range of the corresponding
parameter object, no Modbus exception will be immediately returned.
•
The "unit identifier" (UI) field of the request packets is ignored.
•
The socket timeout time is determined by the "timeout" setting on the web
server's "Config" tab (refer to section 10.7.4). This means that if a
