Set-Up Procedure - HMS Intesis Modbus TCP User Manual

Modbus TCP – Modbus RTU
TM
Intesis

Set-up procedure

1. Install Intesis MAPS on your laptop, use the setup program supplied for this and follow the instructions given by
the Installation wizard.
2. Install Intesis in the desired installation site. Installation can be on DIN rail or on a stable not vibrating surface
(DIN rail mounted inside a metallic industrial cabinet connected to ground is recommended).
3. Connect the communication cable coming from the Modbus TCP network to the port marked as Ethernet on
Intesis (More details in section 2).
4. Connect the communication cable coming from the EIA485 port of the Modbus RTU installation to the port
marked as Modbus RTU of Intesis (More details in section 2).
5. Power up Intesis. The supply voltage can be 9 to 30 Vdc. Take care of the polarity of the supply voltage applied.
WARNING! In order to avoid earth loops that can damage Intesis and/or any other equipment connected to
it, we strongly recommend:
•
The use of DC power supplies, floating or with the negative terminal connected to earth. Never use a
DC power supply with the positive terminal connected to earth.
6. If you want to connect using IP, connect the Ethernet cable from the laptop PC to the port marked as ETH of
Intesis (More details in section 2).
7. Open Intesis MAPS, create a new project selecting a copy of the one named INMBSRTR0320000.
8. Modify the configuration as desired, save it and download the configuration file to Intesis as explained in the
Intesis MAPS user manual.
9. Visit the Diagnostic section and check that there is communication activity, some TX frames and some other RX
frames. This means that the communication with the Modbus TCP Client device/s and Modbus RTU slave
devices is OK. In case there is no communication activity between Intesis and the Modbus devices, check that
those are operative: check the baud rate, the communication cable used to connect all devices and any other
communication parameter.
