    None, XOn/XOff, RTS/CTS. 4 Protocol Setting 4.1 PROFINET Setting On the PROFINET network, the gateway transmits mapped data to PROFINET master though I/O data. The first two I/O mapped bytes in either direction can be dedicated for status/control information, and another 64 bytes of data coming from the Modbus TCP/RTU can feature the Modbus exception codes.
  • Page 5 Value Description The gateway is in idle state. 0-1 (Least significant bit) The gateway is in running state. 2-15 (reserved) Unused 4.1.2 Exception Code The except code feature gives the scanner on the PROFINET network the opportunity to continuously see and monitor the status of each individual Modbus request on the Modbus TCP/RTU network.

  • Page 6: Modbus Setting

    4.2 Modbus Setting On the Modbus TCP/RTU network side, the gateway will act as a Modbus TCP/RTU master. The gateway provides an internal memory for data exchange between Modbus TCP/RTU and PROFINET. For each Modbus read/write command, specify the internal memory address for data exchange. For the read command, the information received from remote slave device will be updated to the specified internal memory address.

    word.  Modbus Commands Table A detail list of Modbus TCP/RTU commands in the configuration. The Add, Edit, Delete and Copy buttons support the Modbus command arrangement. To add a new command or modify the existing one, click the Add button or Edit button and Modbus command page will appear.
  • Page 8 Parameter Description Name A name to help identify the command. The mode of Modbus protocol, TCP or RTU. Mode TCP: Modbus TCP communication over TCP/IP networking. RTU: Modbus RTU communication via serial port. The IP address of remote slave device. The field is available only Slave IP Address in TCP mode.
