The Modbus Master/Slave protocol driver may exist in a single port (MCM) or a

multiple port (MCM4) implementation. In either case, each port can be

independently configured as a Master or Slave port to interface, as required, with

other Modbus devices.

2.1 Modbus Master/Slave Port(s)

The Modbus Master ports can be used to continuously interface with Modbus

slave devices over a serial communication interface (RS-232, RS-422 or RS-

485). Each Master port may have up to 100 user defined commands which

determine the Modbus read/write messages issued to each slave attached to the

port.

In addition, the gateway can be configured to poll slave devices that are not

responding to commands at a lower priority (slow-poll mode). If a slave device

has failed to respond to a command after a user-defined number of retries, the

driver will recognize the slave is experiencing a communication failure. In this

case, if you have set a non-zero value in the Error Delay Count parameter in the

Master port configuration, then, as the driver comes to a command on the Master

Command List that should be sent to the failing slave, instead of sending the

command, the driver will skip the command and decrement the error delay

counter value by one.

When the number of commands have been skipped is equal to the value set in

the Error Delay Count parameter, the error delay counter will have been

decremented go zero and the driver will send next command for that node in the

command list. If the slave responds properly to this command, the driver will

resume normal polling of this slave. If the new command fails, the driver will

continue to recognize the slave is experiencing communication problems and

repeat the process of skipping commands and decrementing the error delay

counter before trying to send another command to that slave. This has the effect

of putting the slave in a low-priority, slow-poll mode until it begins to

communicate normally again.

Note: On all ProLinx gateways, data from the application port on the main board, serial Port 0, is

not buffered. Packets go directly to and from the serial chipset to the processor. This has the

potential to cause the serial communications to become erratic at baud rates above 38,400 baud.

ProLinx gateways with 4 serial ports have a separate serial interface board for serial Ports 1, 2,

and 3. These serial ports are buffered and can handle communications up to 115,200 baud.

2.4 Module Internal Database

The internal gateway database is central to the functionality of the gateway. This

database is shared between all the ports on the gateway This permits data from

Internal

Database

The Master driver uses the database in two ways:

 A read command issued to a slave device by the Master driver will return the

slave data into the internal database.

 A write command issued to a slave device by the Master driver uses the data

in the internal database as the source data to send to the slave.

The slave driver allows external Master devices to access the database, reading

data from the database or writing data to the database. External Modbus Master

devices can monitor and control data in this database through any port

configured as a slave.

Status and error data from the slave and Master ports generated by the gateway

can be mapped into the internal database, where it can be retrieved by either

protocol driver.

2.4.1 Modbus Port Access to Database

The Modbus slave support in the gateway permits remote Master applications

(that is, HMI software, Quantum processors, and so on) to read from and write to

the gateway’s database.

When configured as a slave, the internal database of the MCM gateway is used

as the source for read requests and the destination for write requests from

remote Masters. Access to the database is controlled by the command type

received in the incoming message from the remote Master. The following table

defines the relationship of the gateway’s internal database to the addresses

required in the incoming Modbus TCP/IP requests:

Database Address Modbus Address

0 40001 (five-digit addressing) or 400001 (six-digit addressing)

1000 41001 or 410001

2000 42001 or 420001

3000 43001 or 430001

3999 44000 or 440000

The following virtual addresses are not part of the normal gateway user database

and are not valid addresses for standard data. However, these addresses may

be used for incoming commands that are requesting 32-bit floating-point data. To

use addresses in this upper range requires you to:

1 Set the Float Flag (page 19) to Y

ES

2 Set the Float Start (page 19) to a database address in the range below

3 Set the Float Offset (page 20) to a database address in the gateway user

memory area shown above.

Remember that, once you do this, all data in addresses above the Float Offset

address will be treated as 32-bit floating-point data and require two gateway

memory registers per Modbus address.

Database Address Modbus Address

4000 44001 (five-digit addressing) or 440001 (six-digit addressing)

5000 45001 or 450001

6000 46001or 460001

7000 47001 or 470001

8000 48001 or 480001

3.1 [Modbus Port x]

The [Modbus Port x] sections of the CFG file, where x stands for 0, 1, 2, or 3, set

the Modbus Master and slave port communication parameters and define the

protocol-specific settings.

3.1.1 Enabled

YES or NO

This flag specifies if the port on the gateway will be utilized. If the parameter is

set to N

O, the port will not be used. If the parameter is set to YES, the port will be

used.

3.1.2 RS Interface

0 = RS-232

1 = RS-485

2 = RS-422

This parameter is used when Ports 1, 2, and 3 are present to configure the

electrical interface for these ports.

RS Interface selections for Port 0 are done with a jumper (electrical shunt) on the

back of the gateway.

3.1.3 Type

MASTER or SLAVE

This parameter defines if the port will emulate a Master or slave device. Choose

a value of M

ASTER to make the port function as a Modbus Master. Choose SLAVE

to make the port function as a Modbus slave.

MCM Protocol Configuration MCM ♦ ProLinx Gateway

Driver Manual Modbus Master/Slave

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 19 of 80

October 16, 2009

3.1.4 Float Flag

Yes or No

This flag specifies how the Slave driver will respond to Function Code 3, 6, and

16 commands (read and write Holding Registers) from a remote Master when it

is moving 32-bit floating-point data.

If the remote Master expects to receive or will send one, complete, 32-bit

floating-point value for each count of one (1), then set this parameter to Y

ES,

especially if the Master must read or write from Modbus addresses above

gateway address 3999 (virtual Modbus address 44000 or 440000). When set to

Y

ES, the Slave driver will return values from two, consecutive, 16-bit internal

memory registers (32 total bits) for each count in the read command or receive

32-bits per count from the Master for write commands. Example: Count = 10,

Slave driver will send 20, 16-bit registers for 10 total 32-bit floating-point values.

If, however, the remote Master sends a count of two (2) for each 32-bit floating-

point value it expects to receive or send, or, if you do not plan to use floating-

point data in your application, then set this parameter to N

O, which is the default

setting.

You will also need to set the Float Start and Float Offset parameters to

appropriate values whenever the Float Flag parameter is set to Y

ES.

3.1.5 Float Start

0 TO 65535

Whenever the Float Flag parameter is set to Y

ES, this parameter determines the

lowest Modbus Address received in commands from a remote Master to consider

as requests to read or write floating-point data. All commands with address

values greater than or equal to this value will be considered floating-point data

requests. All commands with address values less than this value will be

considered normal 16-bit register data requests.

This parameter is used only if the Float Flag is set to Y

ES. For example, if a value

of 7000 is entered, all commands received with addresses of 47001 (or 407001)

and above will be considered as requests for floating-point data and 32-bits of

data will be returned for each count of one in the command.

You will also need to set the Float Offset parameter to an appropriate value

whenever the Float Flag parameter is set to Y

ES.

3.1.6 Float Offset

0 TO 3998

This parameter defines the starting register for floating-point data in the internal

gateway database. This parameter is used only if the Float Flag is set to Y

ES.

For example, if the Float Offset value is set to 3000 and the Float Start parameter

is set to 7000, the data returned as floating-point data for register 47001 (or

407001) will actually come from internal gateway registers 3000 and 3001. If the

requested address was 47002 (407002), the data will be returned from internal

registers 3002 and 3003. If the requested address was 47101 (407101), the data

will be returned from internal registers 3200 and 3201; and so on.

3.1.7 Protocol

RTU

ASCII

This parameter specifies the Modbus protocol version to be used on the port.

Valid Protocols are RTU and ASCII.

3.1.8 Baud Rate

This is the baud rate to be used on the port. Enter the baud rate as a value.

Note: On all ProLinx gateways, data from the application port on the main board, serial Port 0, is

not buffered. Packets go directly to and from the serial chipset to the processor. This has the

potential to cause the serial communications to become erratic at baud rates above 38,400 baud.

ProLinx gateways with 4 serial ports have a separate serial interface board for serial Ports 1, 2,

and 3. These serial ports are buffered, and can handle communications up to 115,200 baud.
