5. Modbus Network (Only for Modbus mode) The I-7540D(M)-MTCP, Modbus TCP / Modbus RTU to CAN converter, supports the Modbus TCP/ Modbus RTU protocol. It acts as a Modbus TCP server / Modbus RTU slave device on the Modbus network. There are some mechanisms for data-exchanging between the CAN register and the Modbus register as the figure at the following section.

5.2.1 Using Modbus TCP command to get a CAN Message When the I-7540D(M)-MTCP is set to the Modbus TCP mode, each CAN message (except the CAN message whose CAN IDs are defined in the Specific CAN Message field) received from the CAN network will be stored into the “Normal CAN Message”...
5.2.2 Using Modbus TCP command to Send a CAN Message If users need to send CAN messages via the Modbus TCP commands, users need to send the Modbus TCP command with the “TX CAN message“ format to the Output Register of the I-7540D(M)-MTCP. Then the I-7540D(M)-MTCP will transfer this command to a CAN message format and send it to the buffer of the CAN controller.

6.Modbus TCP Master Compared to Chapter 5, this chapter will introduce the Modbus TCP master function of I-7540D(M)-MTCP. With this function, the I-7540D(M)- MTCP can act as a Modbus master (TCP Client). In the following sections, this chapter will provide detailed instructions on how to configure and operate this function.
Configuration and Operation When selecting "Modbus TCP Master" as the operation mode in the Utility, the "Master Config" button below will become clickable. After clicking the "Master Config" button, you will enter the following configuration screen: The functions of each button are as follows: ...
Page 109
The functions of each field are as follows: "CAN ID (hex)": Specifies the CAN message ID used to respond to Modbus IO data from the Modbus slave via the CAN bus. Please enter the value in hex format. "IP Address": Specifies the IP address of the Modbus TCP slave to connect to.
