Automatically issues device read/write request messages from the
master (QJ71MB91) to a MODBUS compatible slave device.
Allows reading/writing of MODBUS devices at any timing with a
*1
sequence program.
Automatically performs the processing corresponding to the
function code in the request message received from the master,
and automatically sends a response message.
Automatically converts access from the slave (QJ71MB91) to a
MODBUS device into access to a QCPU device.
Users can assign any access destination.
*3
This allows direct access from the MODBUS compatible master
device to the programmable controller CPU device memory.
This function allows the master connected to QJ71MB91's CH1
(RS-232) communicate with several slave stations connected to
QJ71MB91's CH2 (RS-422/485).
If the link operation function is used, a RS-232 interface (1-to-1
communication) MODBUS master device can communicate with
several MODBUS slave devices.
* 1 Dedicated instructions are not available when the QJ71MB91 is installed to a MELSECNET/H
remote I/O station or a redundant system.
* 2 When the QJ71MB91 is mounted on a MELSECNET/H remote I/O station, there are restrictions on
the function codes supported by the automatic response function.(
* 3 When the QJ71MB91 is mounted on a MELSECNET/H remote I/O station, there are restrictions on
