MODBUS Server COM Ethernet

This document provides guidelines for connecting an HMI to a PLC using MODBUS protocol over serial or Ethernet connections. It outlines the recommended settings for the HMI and PLC such as baud rate, data bits, parity, and stop bits for serial COM connections as well as port numbers for Ethernet UDP and TCP/IP connections. Additionally, it specifies the MODBUS function codes and device address ranges supported by the PLC and provides wiring diagrams for serial RS-232, RS-485 4W, and RS-485 2W connections.

If HMI is Modbus Server, connecting two or more Modbus Servers with one Modbus RTU
via RS485 4W is not supported. To do so, use RS485 2W instead.
PLC Connection Guide

PLC Setting:
Communication mode Modbus RTU protocol

Modbus Server UDP Protocol Setting:


MODBUS Server (Ethernet) supports UDP communication protocol. To use UDP mode,
go to [System Parameter Settings] in editing software, in [Device list] click [New], for [PLC
type] select “Modbus Server”, [PLC I/F] set to [Ethernet], and select [Use UDP (User
Datagram Protocol)] to finish setting.

Modbus Server Port No. can be changed by clicking [Settings].

Modbus Server Port No. can not be set identically to HMI Port No. When doing so, the
warning message below will be shown requesting users to change setting.
PLC Connection Guide

Note:
A maximum of 64 Clients can be connected simultaneously.
Modbus Server Port No. can’t be identical to HMI Port No.

Modbus Server TCP/IP Protocol Setting:


MODBUS Server (Ethernet) supports TCP/IP communication protocol. Go to [System
Parameter Settings] in editing software, in [Device list] click [New], for [PLC type] select
“Modbus Server”, [PLC I/F] set to [Ethernet] to finish setting.
PLC Connection Guide
For Modbus Server TCP/IP, HMI Port No. is the same as Modbus Server Port No. To
change Prot No. go to [System Parameter Settings] / [Model], the default Port No. is
“8000”, and it is allowed to change Modbus Server Port No. here.

MODBUS TCP/IP Gateway:

By adding MODBUS Server with [Ethernet] interface, the [MODBUS TCP/IP Gateway] feature

can be enabled by selecting the [Enable] check box.

Note the following two points when enabling the [MODBUS TCP/IP Gateway]:
a. The original mapping between the MODBUS Server and the HMI address will be
canceled.
b. The SCADA cannot read from or write in the addresses defined in different Address
Mapping Table at one time.
For more information about this, see “Chapter37 MODBUS TCPIP Gateway”.

c. The following functions are only supported by cMT series models.
