Introduction The purpose of this tutorial is to demonstrate the Modbus slave communication functions of the i In this tutorial we will demonstrate the i as a Modbus slave with a HMI connected to the i controlling it. The advantage of having the capability of connecting to an external HMI allows data to be represented in different aspects in another location.
Protocol Configuration Unlike with the master setting there is no protocol to set up before programming the ladder logic. The Modbus slave configuration is completely set up in Ladder logic. www.imopc.com...
Double click on the functions and insert the parameter details as shown. This Port Open function Opens the selected port and designates a protocol to it. The Modbus slave function defines the slave’s address and a status register so that the communication link status can be viewed.
Wiring Diagram We are using Port 2 on the i as a RS485, 2 wire, twisted-pair to connect to the PMU330TT. The wiring for this is as follows. Port 2 connections. PMU330TT MJ2 Pins This wiring has the advantage that both the PMU and i can still have their programming ports connected, thus making debugging easier.
