1. Making effective use of this document 1.1 How to use this manual This operating manual is aimed at qualified experts in electrical en- gineering and communications technology! To make it easier for you to understand and revisit certain sections of text and instructions in the manual, we have used symbols to identify important in- structions and information.
Data access using Modbus/TCP protocol: Describes how to send requests to the Modbus/TCP server in the COM461MT and how the responses are to be interpreted Modbus process image in the COM461MT's memory: In this chapter, the representation of BMS data on Modbus/TCP struc-...
European standard EN 50110 can be used as a guide. 2.2 Intended use The BMS-Ethernet gateway COM461MT connects the serial BMS bus to Ethernet TCP/IP networks. The gateway converts alarms, measured values and statuses from the BMS bus to the Modbus/TCP protocol. This allows connec- tion to Modbus networks.
Safety instructions 2.3 Address setting and termination In order to ensure proper functioning of the BMS-Ethernet gateway COM461MT, correct address assignment and termination of the BMS bus is of utmost importance. Assigning addresses that are already used by existing de- vices in the BMS or TCP/IP networks concerned may cause serious malfunctions.
3.2 A short description The BMS-Ethernet gateway COM461MT contains a Modbus/TCP server that converts the BMS data for a Modbus client. A web server makes it possible to configure the COM461MT (see “Commis- sioning” on page 19). Ethernet-TCP/IP interface: The coupling is performed via the internal Layer-2 switch. Two Ethernet ports are available.
Product description 3.4 Possible applications Usage of professional data display programs by converting the BMS data to the Modbus/TCP protocol Observing and analysing Bender products that support communica- tion, such as RCMS, EDS and MEDICS® systems COM461MT_D00011_00_M_XXEN/05.2013...
5. Are suitable PC hardware and software available for commissioning? - Minimum system requirements: 1.6-GHz processor/512 MB RAM / Windows XP/Vista/7/Web browser. For initial connection, the basic configuration of the COM461MT is to be un- dertaken outside the installation, depending on the specific situation. COM461MT_D00011_00_M_XXEN/05.2013...
4.2 COM461MT on the internal BMS bus Bender systems such as EDS46x/49x, RCMS46x/49x and MEDICS communi- cate with each other via the Bender measuring device interface BMS. The BMS-Ethernet gateway COM461MT provides the coupling between the BMS bus and TCP/IP networks. The internal Modbus/TCP server in the COM461MT communicates with the Modbus/TCP client via these networks.

6. Data access using Modbus/TCP protocol Requests are sent to the Modbus/TCP server in the COM461MT using function code FC4 (read input register). The server generates a function-related re- sponse and sends it to the Modbus client. 6.1 Exception code If a request cannot be answered for whatever reason, the server sends a so- called exception code with which possible faults can be narrowed down.
The required words of the process image can be read from the input registers in the COM461MT using the function code FC4. For this purpose, the start ad- dress and the number of registers to be read need to be entered.
