To be sure that the address is changed press “Scan” button in “Communication setup” paragraph. For example, we want to change the address from 1 to 2, the “Value” field should be changed to 2. The new sensor address should be filled up in the “Value” field. This number should be written in the field “Address register #”.
#Modicon modbus rtu manual#
If you know the sensor’s address (after default procedure for example) you don’t need to execute it.Īfter the successful MB Address check, we can continue with MB Address change.Īccording to the user manual of the sensor, the register for the MB Address is 10. Remember, the scan process is just a tool that helps you to find the address of the sensor. To have the possibility to read/write the sensors register, all 4 parameters on the left side of “Communication setup” paragraph must be correct.

If we want to make changes in the sensor, the found address should be written in the field “MB address”. If we want just to check the address of the sensor the above is enough. As a result of the scan, the sensor address will be shown after the string “sensors with the following addresses:”. Pressing the “Scan” button initiate the scanning process. It is recommended to use Time-out=100, First address=1, and Last address=247. This information is available in the user manual of the sensor.Īfter this, we will use the scan tool to find the interface address of the sensor. The algorithm of work is as follows:įirst, the right bit rate, parity, and the number of stop bits are chosen.

In the “Communication setup” all necessary parameters for the sensor should be filled up. The “Sensor setup tool” consists of 3 paragraphs – “Communication setup”, “Sensor communication register setup”, and “Sensor register check”:įor MB Address check, the first paragraph only will be used, while for MB Address change first two paragraphs will be used. The link to the tool is on the bottom of Setup->MODBUS RTU sensors page:Īttention! The “Sensor setup tool” should be used with one sensor only on the interface. To check/change the MB Addresses we will use the “Sensor setup tool” available in the controller. So, you can expect a collision if you connect both (TST300 and TSH300) sensors directly to the interface. If the sensors are not brand new, the good practice is to return them to their factory defaults.
#Modicon modbus rtu how to#
How to play with the MB Addresses of TST300 and TSH300 using TCW140-4īefore adding and set up more than one sensor on the Modbus interface, we should check/change their MB Addresses, to follow the rule for different addresses.Īll new Teracom MODBUS RTU sensors are with the default address 1. They are essential for the MODBUS RTU master for the right data interpretation. These parameters should be specified by the manufacturer. Pay attention that the MB addresses are different (mandatory), but the used register number for every sensor can be the same.Įvery register has its own data length and order. So, if we have two TST300 sensors, one at MB Address 1 and another one at MB Address 2, to read their temperatures the master will use register number 100 for both of them. We can compare the MB Address as street name (number) while the register addresses as house numbers along that street.įor example, for the temperature sensor TST300, the temperature value is available in register number 100. They indicate to the sensor which data exactly the master is interested in. In addition to the MB address, during communication, the master uses the so-called register addresses. In other words, it is not allowed to use the same address for two or more slave devices – this will cause a mismatch in the communication.Īccording to the MODBUS RTU rules, the address can be a number in the range from 1 to 247.Įvery manufacturer of MODBUS RTU sensors has its own system for address changing.įor all Teracom sensors, the address is changed over the interface, using the “Sensor setup tool” available in the controller. The MB Address should be unique for every slave device in the system. The MODBUS RTU message consists of an MB Address (slave address), Function code, Data, and CRC. The communication between the master and slaves goes with standard messages. Every system consists of one MODBUS RTU master (controller, PLC, PC, etc.) and at least one MODBUS RTU slave (sensor). The MODBUS RTU protocol uses a master-slave architecture over an RS-485 interface.
#Modicon modbus rtu serial#
Modbus is a serial communications protocol originally published by Modicon (now Schneider Electric) in 1979. The document describes how to add and set up MODBUS RTU sensors to work with TCW260 or TCG140-4 controllers.
