Advance Preparation

Modbus Communication Example

If Communication is not Successful

 

■ Advance Preparation

 

Follow the steps below to connect to the communication coupler unit with ModbusTCP.

For the hardware details, please refer to the product manual.

 

  1. Connect the host PC on which this sample collection is installed and the communication coupler unit with a LAN cable and turn on the power.
    For the network settings (IP address) on host PC, please refer to the product manual.

    The default IP of the communication coupler unit is 10.1.1.101.

 

■ Modbus Communication Example

 

The communication coupler unit can acquire the connected module information by Modbus protocol.

 

An example of acquiring the 0th bit data in the communication coupler unit with the following configuration is shown.

1st slot : CPSN-DI-08L
2nd slot and after : Not connected

 

  1. Modbus connection

    Specify IP address and port with modbus_new_tcp function, and connect to the IO-LINK master unit with modbus_connect function.

  2. Data collection

    The data in CPSNDI-08L is mapped to 0-7 in the Modbus Discrete Inputs register.

    Data can be obtained by using Read Discrete Inputs (code 02).

    - Reading example which used a sample
      Functions used : modbus_read_input_bits function
      

 

■ If Communication is not Successful

 

If Modbus communication cannot be performed normally, please try a simple operation check.

You can also check the operating status of the communication coupler unit from the LED lamp or the Web setting screen.

 

Please refer to the product manual for details.
