Thank you for purchasing the 2XX-MODBUSTCP Interface Card. This option card for the Cardinal 200 Series Weight Indicating Instrument was built with quality and reliability and has been designed for the industrial environment where interfacing through a MODBUS IP network is desired.
INSTALLATION Mounting the Option Card NOTE! Should your indicator come with the option card already installed, the following section describing mounting, does not apply. Proceed to the Cable Installation on the next page. ATTENTION! OBSERVE PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES. 1.

INSTALLATION, CONT. Cable Installation in the Indicator 1. Loosen an unused cable gland connector for the cable. 2. Insert the Ethernet cable (CAT 5 or equivalent) through the gland connector and into the enclosure. 3. Consult your network administrator for the proper procedure to terminate the cable. 4.
RE-INSTALLING THE REAR PANEL When the installation is complete: 1. Remove the excess cable from the indicator enclosure. 2. Make certain no cables or wires are exposed between the main housing and rear panel and then place the rear panel onto the main housing. 3.
MODULE CONFIGURATION Configure the PLC to communicate with the remote device and enter the IP address of the module; the Slave ID is set to 1, and the port is 502. Use Modbus function code 04 (0x04) Read Input Registers to read data starting at address 0. The register data in the response message are packed as two bytes per register so a quantity of 4 is required.

COMMANDS CMD0 and CMD1 combined make the command word. Command words are broken into command bits for PLC ease of programming. To invoke a command set the bit to one. The PLC should continue to send a command until the command is returned by the indicator. If the indicator cannot perform a command the returned command will include bit7.
TROUBLESHOOTING ModbusTCP Module Status LED’s The ModbusTCP Module has three LED’s to indicate run time status and errors to the user. LED 1 LED 2 LED 3 Keep the enclosure back panel off during the configuration of the device so you can see the EtherNet IP module status LED’s.
