Supported device types and versions


MODBUS RTU supports the communication with the control systems Quad 2000 of Cooper turbo-compressors.

Communication line configuration


Communication station configuration



Station protocol parameters

Configuration dialog box - tab "Protocol parameters".
They influence some optional parameters of the protocol. You can define the following parameters:

Table 1

KeywordFull nameDescriptionUnitDefault value
RC
Retry CountThe number of request retries when an error in communication occurs.-2
RT
Retry TimeoutThe delay between request retries if an error in communication occurs.ms100 ms
WFT
Wait First TimeoutFirst waiting for a response after sending a request.ms100 ms
WT
Wait TimeoutDelay between the readings of a response until it is completed.ms100 ms
MWR
Max Wait RetryThe number of response readings until it is completed.-20

String with protocol parameters is written according to this rule:

Key_word=value;Key_word=value; ...

Example:

WT=100;MWR=20;

If a keyword with a valid value has not been found in the initial string, the default value is used according to Table 1.

I/O tag configuration


I/O tags: Ai, Ao, Ci, Co, Di, Do

For the relation between D2000 Value Type and Modbus Data Type, the following table applies:

Modbus Data TypeD2000 Value Type
Coil Status - 0x referencesDo
Input Status - 1x referencesDi
Input Registers - 3x referencesAi, Ci
Holding Registers - 4x referencesAo, Co

The address is Modbus register number in the range of 0 to 65535.

For Ai and Ci points, a type of conversion to physical units must be defined. Conversion type RTD, 0-10V, 4-20mA, 1-5V, or none is specified in the documentation (see Literature). You can get more detailed information about the settings of channels directly by browsing the channel configuration on the Quad display. You can also get the limit values "Zero" and "Range" for the conversion of voltage or current inputs.
