Supported device types and versions

...

The protocol executes implements client (master) communication with arbitrary devices which supports a standard that support MODBUS RTU and ASCII in the versions of or MODBUS ASCII standards (serial communication) as well as MODBUS over TCP/IP. Moreover, it supports two extensionextensions:

• Byte mode - allows to work working with devices that get back implement the values of registers as 1-byte variables (in contrast with Modbus standard in which the register value is 2 bytes).
• Variable mode - allows to work working with devices that get back values of that implement the registers with different size as normal sizes than standard 2 bytes. It was implemented because of support of the flowmeter FloBoss 103 made by Fisher Controls International (at this time a part of Emerson Process Management): 1-byte variables, 4-byte unsigned/signed integers, text strings of length 10,12,20,40 characters, a 6-byte time stamp, and other.
  Note: this mode enables work with devices implementing the so-called Enron Modbus or Daniel Modbus.
• Passive (scanning) mode allows to work in eavesdropping mode. This applies especially to serial communication when the communication port of the device is already used to communicate with another Master device. Due to the nature of the Modbus protocol, it is necessary to receive both requests and responses in this mode.

Communication line configuration

...

• Line category Serial (serial communication)
• Line category SerialOverUDP Device Redundant (serial communication).
• Line category RFC2217 Client (serial communication).
• Line category TCP/IP-TCP and TCP/IP-TCP Redundant (MODBUS over TCP/IP). Reserved TCP port 502 is commonly used in common, but it is possible to use any other one according to the setting of the device. Number of The line number is not used, for example set the value e.g. to 1.
  Note: For redundant systems, it is possible to enter multiple names/addresses separated by commas.
  Note: In the case of WAGO 750-8100 type PLC and communication via MODBUS TCP, it was necessary to set a small polling period (e.g. 1 second) in the time parameters of the station. In the case of a longer period (5 seconds), the connection was closed quite often by the PLC.

...

Forced disconnection: If all stations on the TCP/IP-TCP or TCP/IP-TCP Redundant line are in the simulation mode or the communication is stopped for them, the line will be disconnected (the communication socket will be closed). If the simulation is disabled for at least one station and the communication is not stopped for it (the Parameters tab of the Station type object), the line will be connected again.

• Communication protocol "Modbus Client".
• Station address is decimal figure mostly in the range of 1 up to 247. Address 0 is reserved as broadcast.

Station protocol parameters

Configuration dialog box - tab Parameter.
They influence some optional parameters of protocol. Following station protocol parameters can be set:

Table 1

...

Setting of Variable mode:
Little endian = the lowest bytes are sent first
Big endian = the highest bytes are sent first
OFF = variable mode is switch off

Note 1: Variable and byte mode are incompatible and only one of them can be enabled.
Note 2: Emerson FloBoss 103 device: text strings and time stamps of 6-byte are sent always from the lowest byte.
Note 3: Variable mode is implemented only for Protocol Mode=RTU.
Note 4: A data encoding big-endian is used automatically, according to the default parameter values Byte mod=NO and Variable mode=OFF (i.e. according to MODBUS protocol specification).

...

Note: In case of "MODBUS over TCP/IP", the parameter value is ignored and Protocol Mode=RTU is used.

...

Description and example:
The calls for data, which are limited by protocol parameter "Max. Registers" or "Max. Bytes", are sent as standard. If I/O tags with addresses "Holding Registers" 1, 2 and 5 has been configured, one call requiring 5 registers from address 1 is sent although the I/O tags with addresses 3 and 4 are not configured. It is more efficiency to gain required data in one call than in two ones even if the unnecessary data are also read.
If the parameter "Skip Unconfigured" is set on YES, two calls are sent, the first one requires two registers from address 1 and the second one requires the one register from address 5.

...

• if Byte mode is on (Byte mode=YES), length of received data must equal to number of registers
• if both Byte mode and variable mode are off, length of received data must equal to double of number of registers
• if variable mode is on (Variable mode=little-endian or big-endian), check has not been implemented yet

...

Possible types of I/O tag values for invariable mode: Ai, Ao, Di, Do, Ci, Co, TxtI.

Possible types of I/O tag values for variable mode: Ai, Ao, Di, Do, Ci, Cout, TxtI, TxtO, TiA.

I/O tag address:

The main address space in the protocol MODBUS is divided into following registers:

• Coils type (reading/writing)
• Discrete Inputs (reading)
• Holding Registers (reading/writing)
• Input Registers (reading)

An independent address space of 2 byte, i.e. addresses from 0 up to 65535 (so called MODBUS PDU addressing model), is in each address space of given type of register. Some of devices work with address space starting with 1 (so called MODBUS data Model). In this case it is necessary to deduct -1 in address at configuration I/O tags in D2000 system or change the setting of parameter Addressing model to MODBUS data Model.

I/O tag address can acquire basic or extended format (for a variable mode).

...

• I - Integer16 (default) - one register is read, signed
• U - Unsigned16 - one register is read, unsigned
• Uu - Unsigned16 - one register is read, unsigned, only upper byte is considered (1st in sequence)
• Ul - Unsigned16 - one register is read, unsigned, only lower byte is considered (2nd in sequence)
• f - Float (4 bytes = 2 registers) - two registers with Address and Address+1 are read and transmitted as big-endian (see Note).
• F - Float (4 bytes = 2 registers) - two registers with Address and Address+1 are read and transmitted as little-endian (so-called Modicon format), (see Note)
• L - Unsigned long (4 bytes = 2 registers) - two registers with Address and Address+1 are read, unsigned and transmitted as big-endian (see Note)
• Ll - Unsigned long (4 bytes = 2 registers) - two registers with Address and Address+1 are read and transmitted as little-endian, unsigned (see Note)
• S - Signed long (4 bytes = 2 registers) - two registers with Address and Address+1 are read, signed and transmitted as big-endian (see Note)
• Sl - Signed long (4 bytes = 2 registers) - two registers with Address and Address+1 are read and transmitted as little-endian, signed (see Note)
• B - Byte unsigned, only upper 8 bits of the register value
• X - Byte unsigned, only lower 8 bits of the register value.
• sn. - Text string with the length of n characters, one register is one character, n registers with Address up to Address+n-1 are read
• an. - Text string with the length of 2*n characters, one register is two ASCII characters, characters are transmitted in the same order as they appear in the string,  n registers with Address up to Address+n-1 are read
• An. - Text string with the length of 2*n characters, one register is two ASCII characters, characters are transmitted in big-endian order (i.e. "1234" is transmitted as "2143"),  n registers with Address up to Address+n-1 are read

...

Modifier s indicates that a status register (Unsigned16) located on address Address is followed by a big endian Float value located on address Address+1 .. Address+2. This indicator is used for type f and it is implemented for calorimeter Endress+Hauser RMS621. Following table shows values of status register and their mapping to D2000 attributes.

...

• 1 - Read Coils: binary status reading
• 2 - Read Discrete Inputs: binary input reading
• 3 - Read Holding Registers: status register reading (Integer16/Unsigned16 and Float32 - reads two successive registers)
• 4 - Read Input Registers: input register reading (Integer16/Unsigned16 and Float32 - reads two successive registers)
• 0 - A value is not read, it is only written. The function for writing (WrFn) must be set.

...

• 5 - Write Single Coil: binary status writing (default for Read Coils)
• 6 - Write Single Register: status register writing (default for Read Holding Registers)
• 16 - Write Multiple registers: multiple registers writing, it must be used when 2-register type is written (e.g. Float, Unsigned long, etc.).
  Note: function can be used to write more than two registers at once if a text string is used. Example:
  if we have an I/O tag with address a3.0-16.#8A00 (i.e. text string covering 3 registers, having length of 6 characters) and we write a string '123456', then hexadecimal values 0x3132, 0x3334 and 0x3536 (ASCII code for '1' is 0x31, for '2' is 0x32 etc) will be written to registers 0x8A00, 0x8A01 and 0x8A02.
• 22 - Mask Write Register: it influences only value of the particular bit BitNr of status register. Usable only for Do types with the address parameter BitNr.

Possible types of I/O tag values for variable mode: Ai, Ao, Di, Do, Ci, Cout, TxtI, TxtO, TiA.

I/O tag address:

The main address space in the protocol MODBUS is divided into the following registers:

• Coils type (reading/writing)
• Discrete Inputs (reading)
• Holding Registers (reading/writing)
• Input Registers (reading)

Independent addressing with the address size of 2 bytes, i.e. addresses from 0 up to 65535 (so-called MODBUS PDU addressing model), is in an address space of each type of register. Some devices work with address space starting with 1 (so-called MODBUS Data Model). In this case, it is necessary to deduct 1 in the address at configuration I/O tags in the D2000 system or change the setting of the parameter Addressing model to the MODBUS data Model.

The I/O tag with an address starting with %IGNORE will be ignored.

I/O tag address can be in a basic or extended format (for a variable mode).

• The first character defines a type of I/O tag:
  • I - Integer16 (default) - one register is read, signed
  • U - Unsigned16 - one register is read, unsigned
  • Uu - Unsigned16 - one register is read, unsigned, and only the upper byte is processed (1st in sequence)
  • Ul - Unsigned16 - one register is read, unsigned, and only the lower byte is processed (2nd in sequence)
  • f - Float (4 bytes = 2 registers) - two registers with Address and Address+1 are read and transmitted as big-endian (see Note).
  • F - Float (4 bytes = 2 registers) - two registers with Address and Address+1 are read and transmitted as little-endian (so-called Modicon format), (see Note)
  • L - Unsigned long (4 bytes = 2 registers) - two registers with Address and Address+1 are read, unsigned, and transmitted as big-endian (see Note)
  • Ll - Unsigned long (4 bytes = 2 registers) - two registers with Address and Address+1 are read and transmitted as little-endian, unsigned (see Note)
  • S - Signed long (4 bytes = 2 registers) - two registers with Address and Address+1 are read, signed, and transmitted as big-endian (see Note)
  • Sl - Signed long (4 bytes = 2 registers) - two registers with Address and Address+1 are read and transmitted as little-endian, signed (see Note)
  • B - Byte unsigned, only the upper 8 bits of the register value
  • X - Byte unsigned, only the lower 8 bits of the register value
  • sn. - Text string with the length of n characters, one register is one character, n registers with Address up to Address+n-1 are read
  • an. - Text string with the length of 2*n characters, one register is two ASCII characters, characters are transmitted in the same order as they appear in the string,  n registers with Address up to Address+n-1 are read
  • An. - Text string with the length of 2*n characters, one register is two ASCII characters, characters are transmitted in big-endian order (i.e. "1234" is transmitted as "2143"),  n registers with Address up to Address+n-1 are read
• Modifier d indicates that a number is an 8-byte number (4 consecutive registers). It can be used for types L, Ll, S, Sl, F,f, and it is used for configuration of signed/unsigned 8-byte integer as well as an 8-byte float (big-endian <B8>..<B1> and little-endian <B1>..<B8> formats).
  Modifier D indicates that a number is an 8-byte number (4 consecutive registers). It can be used for types Ll, Sl, F and it is used for the configuration of signed/unsigned 8-byte integer as well as an 8-byte float (little-endian format <B2><B1><B4><B3><B6><B5><B8><B7>).
• Modifier b indicates that the number BCD-coded. It can be used for I/O tags of I, U, B, L, Ll types.

• Modifier s indicates that a status register (Unsigned16) located on address Address is followed by a big-endian Float value located on address Address+1 .. Address+2. This indicator is used for type f and it is implemented for calorimeter Endress+Hauser RMS621. The following table shows the values of the status register and their mapping to D2000 attributes.

  Status register	D2000 attributes
  0: Invalid value	Weak
  1: Measured value valid	Valid
  2: Overflow warning 3: Overflow error 4: Underflow warning 5: Underflow error 6: Saturated steam alarm 7: Error in differential pressure calculation 8: Wrong medium for DP calculation 9: Wrong value range - DP calculation inaccurate 10: Differential pressure - general error 11: Range overshoot (Tsat > 350 etc.) on 12: Change in state of aggregation 26: Differential pressure --> general error 99: No measured value is assigned to the register in the setup of the ModBus	Weak

  
  

• Parameter RdFn is a function of the Modbus protocol for data reading. The following functions are implemented:
  • 1 - Read Coils: binary status reading
  • 2 - Read Discrete Inputs: binary input reading
  • 3 - Read Holding Registers: status register reading (Integer16/Unsigned16 and Float32 - reads two successive registers)
  • 4 - Read Input Registers: input register reading (Integer16/Unsigned16 and Float32 - reads two successive registers)
  • 20 - Read Configuration Reference Data: reading of configuration data
  • 0 - A value is not read, it is only written. The function for writing (WrFn) must be set.
• Parameter WrFn is the function of the Modbus protocol for data writing. The following functions are implemented:
  • 5 - Write Single Coil: binary status writing (default for Read Coils)
  • 6 - Write Single Register: status register writing (default for Read Holding Registers)
  • 16 - Write Multiple registers: multiple registers writing, it must be used when a 2-register type is written (e.g. Float, Unsigned long, etc.).
    Note: The function can be used to write more than two registers at once if a text string is used. Example:
    if we have an I/O tag with address a3.0-16.#8A00 (i.e. text string covering 3 registers, having a length of 6 characters) and we write a string '123456', then hexadecimal values 0x3132, 0x3334 and 0x3536 (ASCII code for '1' is 0x31, for '2' is 0x32, etc) will be written to registers 0x8A00, 0x8A01 and 0x8A02.
  • 21 - Write Configuration Reference Data: writing of configuration data
  • 22 - Mask Write Register:  write affects only the value of the particular bit BitNr of the status register. It is usable only for Do value types with the address parameter BitNr.
• Parameter d activates the function "delayed write". The sending of the value is delayed until the request to write the value of the object without parameter d comes. All accumulated requests waiting to be written are sent. If the function WrFn is set to "Write Multiple Registers", the values are sent in one packet.
• Parameter Address is a 2-byte address of the register (0-65536). See also the protocol parameter Addressing model.
  Note: address can be specified as a hexadecimal number using a number sign (#), e.g. #50CE
• Parameter BitNr is a bit's position in a word. The values 0-7 are allowed to be used for binary statuses and inputs, and values 0-15 are allowed to be used for reading bits from 16-bit status or input registers.
  Note: coexistence of an I/O tag without a BitNr parameter and multiple I/O tags with a BitNr parameter having the same Address is possible.
• Parameter Items indicates the number of objects to read. This parameter is only meaningful if the Destination Column is configured. The parameter specifies the number of objects that will be read and written to the structured variable. If this parameter is not specified, the number of read objects is derived from the size of the structure, so this parameter allows to limit the number of read items (e.g. if values are to be read into the next rows of the structure using another I/O tag).

Note on writing: if only a part of the register (lower/higher byte or selected bit) is written and the I/O tag also has RdFn (function for a data reading) configured, then when writing, the value of the entire register is read first, and then the relevant part of the register is modified and the entire register is written

    • Note 1: FloBoss 103 supports local and monotonous time - that is why the configuration of station in D2000 must correspond to configuration of FloBoss.
    • Note 2: It is possible to set time and date but it requires to configure extra the I/O tags for second, minute, hour, day, month and year as Unsigned Int 8 bits and after that to write into them.

...

The basic parameters and current data of these controllers are not normally read by means of functions 0x01 up to 0x04. There is necessary to use the function 0x14/0x15 Read / write configuration reference data. These controllers use "big-endian" byte order. Therefore, for proper functionality is not necessary to modify parameters that changes byte mode and endianness.

Examples of I/O tag configuration:

20.039 - 16-bit number from address 39(0x27)
f20.040 - 32-bit real number from address 40(0x28)

Note on Honeywell controllers

...

Honeywell UDC1700 controllers (probably generally UDC1xxx):

The basic parameters and current data of these controllers are not normally read by means of functions 0x01 up to 0x04. It is necessary to use the functions 0x14/0x15 Read/write configuration reference data. These controllers use "big-endian" byte order. Therefore, for proper functionality, it is not necessary to modify parameters that change byte mode and endianness.

Examples of I/O tag configuration:

20.039 - 16-bit number from address 39(0x27)
f20.040 - 32-bit real number from address 40(0x28)

Note: Honeywell-made products (UDC 2xxx/3xxx, HC900, DPR, Trendview) use the common Modbus function codes 1-4 in spite of the UDC manuals referring only to 0x14/0x15 Read/write configuration reference data register tables. For more detailed information, see this post.
