S7-1200 Programmable controller
System Manual, 03/2014, A5E02486680-AG
Description
Delay for Inter-character gap between characters. This parameter is specified
in milliseconds and is used to increase the expected amount of time between
received characters. The corresponding number of bit times for this parameter
is added to the Modbus default of 35 bit times (3.5 character times).
Number of retries that the master will attempt before returning the no response
error code 0x80C8.
Number of stop bits used in framing each character. Valid values are 1 and 2.
Description
No error
Invalid port ID value (wrong port/hardware identifier for communication module)
Invalid baud rate value
Invalid parity value
Invalid flow control value
Invalid response timeout value (response timeout less than the 5 ms minimum)
MB_DB parameter is not an instance data block of a MB_MASTER or MB_SLAVE
instruction.

Description
The MB_MASTER instruction communicates as a
Modbus master using a port that was configured by
a previous execution of the MB_COMM_LOAD
instruction. An instance data block is assigned
automatically when you place the MB_MASTER
instruction in your program. This MB_MASTER
instance data block is used when you specify the
MB_DB parameter for the MB_COMM_LOAD
instruction.
