MODBUS

10 MODBUS
The modular concept of the 750 Series makes it possible to connect up to 250 (via
internal data bus extension) I/O modules to the I/O-IPC. This variable
construction and the large number of different I/O modules prevent a static
assignment of input and output data to fixed MODBUS addresses, however. The
only exceptions are the "digital" MODBUS services. For these, the MODBUS
address is identical to the channel number; i.e., the 47th digital input can always
be found at MODBUS address "46".
By adding or removing I/O modules, the structure of the process images is
changed which also changes the MODBUS addresses of individual I/O module
channels. MODBUS communication isperformed via service calls, the MODBUS
master (client) sending a request telegram to port 502 of the MODBUS slave
(server). The MODBUS slave returns the result of the service call in a response
telegram to the MODBUS master.
The most important elements of a MODBUS telegram are:
Term
UnitID
FunctionCode (FC) Service identification: read or write operation in bits or words
Address
Count
[Data]
The service identification or "FunctionCode" (FC) first determines whether the
service is a read or write operation. It also determines the basic data type to which
the operation is to be applied. Therefore, the meaning of the parameters "Address"
and "Count" is also dependent on the function code. Thus "address :=3" can stand
for a bit or a word in the input or output process image.
The MODBUS protocol is largely based on the following basic data types:
Data type:
Discrete Inputs
Coils
Input Register
Holding Register
One or more "FunctionCodes" are defined for each basic data type.
