#Modbus poll master install#
The following links will help you to install the software and establish communication. The Click PLC can be programmed using free Click programming software from Automation Direct. Ten registers will be read and written according to the chart below. We will be using the Modbus network write and Modbus network read commands in the BRX PLC. We are using the BRX as a master so we can move the information write the information to any memory location after communication. See the following chart for the Modbus addresses. BRX PLC is part of the Do-More family of controllers. Modbus addressing for the BRX PLC is located in a separate memory area. You can enable the ‘Display MODBUS Address’ to see the addresses for each of the memory areas. Addressing – Modbus RTU BRX Do-More to Click The BRX PLC has the ability to add the termination resistor in the software. You daisy chain the devices along the path until you get to the end of the chain where a termination resistor is placed between the + and – terminals. We will be using Modbus RTU protocol to communicate from the BRX PLC to the Click PLC.Ĭom Port 3 of the Click supports 2-wire RS-485 Wiring – Modbus RTU BRX Do-More to Click The Click PLC that we will be using also comes with a RS485 port. Here are the specifications for the port. Our BRX PLC comes with a built in RS485 port that we will be using for a Modbus RTU master unit. Hardware – Modbus RTU BRX Do-More to Click Monitoring and Testing the Program – Video Here are some of the topics that we have already covered in this series. Our example will read 10 registers from the Click PLC and write 10 registers from the BRX PLC.
Using the BRX PLC as a Master, we will be communicating to the Click PLC (Slave). A review of the Modbus RTU protocol (RTU frames) can be seen at the following URL. A maximum of 32 devices (Nodes) on the network can communicate to the master. You can have only one master per network on Modbus RTU (Remote Terminal Unit). It works on a Master / Slave configuration.
#Modbus poll master serial#
Modbus serial communication (Modbus RTU) is a standard protocol used in many automation devices. Both PLCs are available from automation direct com. Recently I was asked to demonstrate communication between a BRX PLC and Click PLC using Modbus RTU.
