Modbus-RTU Slave Function for Replacing Existing PLCs

Support for 1:1 Modbus-RTU Slave

Pre-Ver. 1.2 Units
Unit Ver. 1.2 or Later
1:N/1:1 setting
1:N protocol A Modbus-RTU Slave protocol
that enables a single host to
be connected to a single PLC
(1:1) or to multiple PLCs
(1:N).
In previous Boards/Units, only
the 1:N protocol was sup-
ported.
1:1 protocol A Modbus-RTU Slave protocol
that enables a single host to
be connected to a single PLC
only.

An enhanced Modbus-RTU Slave function is provided to enable reuse of host
computer programs created for the existing PLC. By selecting the 1:N/1:1
Modbus-RTU Slave protocol and the Modbus-RTU Slave compatible device
mode according to the existing PLC model, the Board/Unit's Modbus-RTU
Slave functions can be fully compatible with the Modbus-RTU Slave of the
existing PLC.
The C200H-LK101/201/202, C500-LK101/201/103/203, and C120-LK101/
201/202 Modbus-RTU Slave Units for earlier C-series PLCs (C200H and
C500) enable selection of either 1:1 or 1:N Modbus-RTU Slaves. The CS/CJ-
series and later PLCs, however, only support 1:N Modbus-RTU Slaves.
Therefore, the host computer programs created using 1:1 Modbus-RTU Slave
protocol cannot be reused in CS/CJ-series PLCs.
Host computer programs for 1:1 Modbus-RTU Slaves that have been created
using a C200H/C1000H/C2000H PLC can also be used with CS/CJ-series
PLCs by selecting the 1:1 Modbus-RTU Slave protocol. The 1:N/1:1 Modbus-
RTU Slave setting in the Setup Area in the DM Area enable selection of 1:1
Modbus-RTU Slaves.
