COMUNICATIONS GUIDE

MODBUS MASTER

MASTER REQUIREMENTS

MODBUS Master communication requires a few special configuration items.

1. MSC Block - Each MSC block that will be used for MODBUS Master communications must have the Port

Functionality set to Master.

2. EX Block for Port Configuration - Each MODBUS Master port requires a specially configured Expression

block to define its parameters.

3. EX Block for Communications - Expression blocks are configured to send and receive the actual

communication messages. The first 10 inputs are dedicated to configuration and status. The remaining

inputs may be used to read or write data. Each block is configured to execute a specific type of MODBUS

function. The only relevant factor that limits the number of these blocks is performance.

DATA CONVERSION

Analog data in a newer Commander instruments and the 2050R is stored as a 16-bit signed integer value.

Integer values in the Modcell MLP and MOD30ML are unsigned. The decimal point position is also read as a

separate value. When reading or writing analog values between these instruments, expression blocks are

used to convert from one integer type to the other. The table below indicates the relationship between the two

number formats.

SCALER BLOCK

One expression block is required for each slave instrument, for decimal point scaling. The expression is as

follows:

if DecPt == 0 then 1.0 else

if DecPt == 1 then 10.0 else

if DecPt == 2 then 100.0 else 1000.0

DecPt is a COUNT input which is read from the slave instrument.

The block’s Result is a FLOATING-POINT scaler.
