ModbusRtuSlave_KL6x22B

ModbusRtuSlave_KL6x22B 1:

The function block ModbusRtuSlave_KL6x22B realizes a Modbus slave, which communicates via a serial Bus Terminal KL6031 or KL6041. Serial EtherCAT Terminals with 22 bytes of data process image are also supported. The function block ModbusRtuSlave_PcCOM is available for communication via a serial PC interface (COM port).

The function block is passive until it receives telegrams from a connected Modbus master.

ModbusRtuSlave_KL6x22B 2:

Hardware connection

The data structures required for the link with the communication port are included in the function block. On a PC, the assignment in the TwinCAT System Manager is analogous to the description in the chapter Serial bus terminal of the TF6340 TC3 Serial Communication documentation.

Description

UnitID

UINT

Modbus station address (1..247). The Modbus slave will only answer if it receives telegrams containing its own station address. Optionally, collective addresses can be used for replying to any requests. Address 0 is reserved for broadcast telegrams and is therefore not a valid station address.

AdrInputs

BYTE

Start address of the Modbus input area. The data area is usually declared as a PLC array, and the address can be calculated with ADR (input variable).

SizeInputBytes

UINT

Size of the Modbus input array in bytes. The size can be calculated with SIZEOF (input variable).

AdrOutputs

BYTE

Start address of the Modbus output area. The data area is usually declared as a PLC array, and the address can be calculated with ADR (output variable).

SizeOutputBytes

UINT

Size of the Modbus output array in bytes. The size can be calculated with SIZEOF (output variable).

AdrMemory

BYTE

Start address of the Modbus memory area. The data area is usually declared as a PLC array, and the address can be calculated with ADR (memory variable).

SizeMemoryBytes

UINT

Size of the Modbus memory array in bytes. The size can be calculated with SIZEOF (memory variable).
