MBMasterTCP

Function Block - MODBUS-TCP Master (client).

This function block manages a client connection on MODBUS-TCP and enables the management of various MODBUS functions. Function blocks MBMASTERTCP and MBMASTERRTU give an alternative to the MODBUS configurator. You do not need to configure anything in the fieldbus configurator to use these blocks.

Inputs

Parameter	Description	Description
CNX	BOOL	A rising edge on this input establishes the connection with the specified server. Later on, if the connection is successful, the Ready output will be set to TRUE. If the connection fails, an error is reported by the Error output. After the connection is lost (typically when unplugging the Ethernet cable) the application is responsible for rising again the Cnx input in order to attempt a new connection.
SND	BOOL	A rising edge on this input starts a new exchange such as specified by other paramerters. A exchange can be started only if the Ready output is TRUE.
SLAVE	DINT	Slave number (or unit number) of the MODBUS TCP server.
FCODE	DINT	MODBUS function code. The following functions are supported: 1 = Read coil bits 2 = Read input bits 3 = Read holding registers 4 = Read input registers 5 = Write one coil bit 6 = Write one holding registers 7 = Read exception status 15 = Write N coil bits 16 = Write N holding registers 17 = Report slave ID 23 = Read/write holding registers
ADDR	DINT	Address of the first address to read. Used only for functions 1, 2, 3, 4 and 23.
NBR	DINT	Number of items to read. Used only for functions 1, 2, 3, 4 and 23.
ADDW	DINT	Address of the first address to write. Used only for functions 5, 6, 15, 16 and 23.
NBW	DINT	Number of items to write. Used only for functions 5, 6, 15, 16 and 23. Must be 1 for functions 5 and 6.
DATA	ARRAY OF ...	Buffer containing the values read or written. Must be set on input before calling functions 5, 6, 15, 16 and 23. Filled on for other functions and also for function 23. The dimension of the array must be greater than or equal to the specified number of items. The data type of the array depends on the function: BOOL for functions 1, 2, 5 and 15 INT or UINT or WORD for functions 3, 4, 6, 16 and 23 SINT or USINT or BYTE for functions 7 and 17.
TIMEOUT	TIME	Communication timeout for the complete exchange.
IP	STRING	IP address of the MODBUS server.
PORT	DINT	TCP port number of the server (usually 502).

Outputs

Parameter	Description	Description
READY	BOOL	This output is TRUE when the connection is correctly established and no pending exchange is currently running.
OK	BOOL	This output is set to TRUE at the end of a successful exchange. It is reset to FALSE when a new exchange is started.
ERROR	DINT	Error report. Can be one of the following values: 1 = invalid function code 2 = bad address 3 = bad value 4 = server failed 5 = server acknoledge 6 = server is busy 8 = data parity error 10 = gateway bad path 11 = gateway target failed 128 = timeout on exchange 129 = bad CRC 130 = ETHERNET/TCP error 200 = invalid slave number 201 = invalid MODBUS address 202 = invalid number of items or DATA array too small 203 = invalid type for DATA array 204 = invalid numner of items Note: some devices may answer some other specific error reports
