5 Modbus Connection Modbus Protocol 5-6-1 Introduction to Modbus Protocol Modbus functions as a request-response protocol which provides the service specified by function codes. Modbus protocol such as ASCII, RTU, and TCP does not specify the physical layer, but defines the message frame and is available to communicate with the Controllers through varied networks.

5 Modbus Connection Example of connection using Modbus TCP protocol Use Modbus TCP protocol to perform the communication, PT serving as the slave. PLC Setting Since Modbus TCP is a general purpose protocol, setting method differs depending on the PLC. Please confirm the setting of PLC used before making the settings.

Set or check Baud Rate, Data Bit, Parity Check and Stop Bit using the operator came with the unit. Make sure the communication setting of NB unit and the temperature controller or the inverter corresponds.
5 Modbus Connection 5-10 Example of Power PMAC Motion Controller using Modbus TCP Slave Protocol The NB communicates with the Power PMAC using the Ethernet communication port via the Modbus TCP Slave protocol with the PT designated as a master unit. Therefore, the communication settings between the NB and the Power PMAC must be consistent.
