  • Page 6: Modbus Protocol

    1. MODBUS Protocol The Modbus protocol defines the format and method of communications between a “master” which controls the system and one or more “slaves” which respond to commands sent by the master. The Modbus defines how the transmitter and reciever are identified, how messages are exchanged and how errors are detected.

  • Page 7: Characters Format

    2.1 Characters Format The above mentioned packets referred to the transmitted character from the PC or Supervisor.In this case this character cannot be modified because they are set by Athena Controls. The default value is 8 , N, 1. It means 8 data bits without parity check and with 1 stop bit.
  • Page 8 In reality, as the device that converts the data to be sent into serial form (UART) sends the least significant bit (LSB) first instead of the MSB as it should do for the CRC calculation, the CRC is carried out by inverting the polynomial.

  • Page 18: Communication Cable Laying Recommendations

    6.2 Communication Cable Laying Recommendations In order to minimise interference caused by the external environment to serial communication, and thus obtain maximum efficiency between the supervisor and the instruments, a few essential technical precautions must be taken. The most important and easiest to implement of all is to separate the power or power supply lines from the communication lines and lay them as far as possible from remote-controlled switches, electromagnets, powerful motors, etc.

Recommended RS-232 to RS-485 Converter 14.1 Athena Part# 223A001401 RS-232 to RS-485 Optically Isolated Communications Converter This product is used to convert unbalanced, full-duplex RS-232 signals to half-duplex (2- wire) RS-485 signals. It also provides optical isolation of data lines and ground between the RS-232 and RS-485 equipment.

  • Page 107: General Information

    14.2 General Information The converter may be plugged directly into the 9-pin serial port of a PC or connected via a standard 9-pin to 9-pin PC serial cable. The echo jumper must be in the “off” position and will configure the converter for RS- 485 two-wire (only) mode.
