1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Description
The Regard Modbus card is a Modbus RTU interface for Regard systems, allowing
Regard channel card alarm and gas level information to be accessed by any system with
a Modbus interface. Connection to the Regard Modbus card is via an RS-232, RS-422 or
RS-485 interface.

The Modbus card operates in conjunction with a Regard master card. The master card
communicates with each channel card, regularly requesting alarm and gas level
information. The Modbus card listens to this information and maintains a table of alarm
and gas level information for each channel card.

Gas level and alarm information for all Regard channel cards on the same RS-485 bus
as the Modbus card will be available, provided that each channel card is correctly
configured and communicating with the Regard master card.

1.2 Modbus communications

The Modbus protocol is a standard for communication between Modbus compatible
devices (e.g. PLCs). Communication between Modbus devices is controlled by a
Modbus master, which makes Modbus requests to the Modbus slave(s).

The Regard Modbus card acts as a Modbus slave, supporting a subset of the Modbus
protocol sufficient to provide Regard alarm and gas level information. The Regard
Modbus card supports RTU transmission mode only.

Note that Regard master and slave cards are not the same as Modbus masters and
slaves; only the Regard Modbus card understands the Modbus protocol.

1.3 Configuration and passwords

Modbus cards are configured using a command mode similar to other Regard cards,
except that the Modbus card only has two access levels: read level and configuration
level.

The password for configuration level is factory set as “CCCC”. No password is needed
for access to read level.

REGARD Modbus Card 5

2.2 Modbus interfaces

The Regard Modbus card has RS-232 and RS-422/RS-485 hardware interfaces, with
selection by a switch on the card. Only one interface can be used at a time.

If more than one Modbus card is to be connected to a Modbus master use RS-422 or
RS-485. The RS-485 interface can only be used if the Modbus master correctly controls
handshaking, otherwise use RS-422.

Connections between the Regard Modbus card and a Modbus master for each interface
are shown in Appendix C.

2.2.1 RS-232 interface

The three-wire RS-232 interface can be used to connect one Modbus master to one
Modbus slave. The RS-232 interface is the simplest to use - almost all computers and
Modbus systems have an RS-232 interface.

2.2.2 RS-422 interface

RS-422 uses four wires plus ground. It can be used to connect one Modbus master to a
number of Modbus slaves, and can support much longer line lengths than RS-232. Other
Modbus slaves must be able to control handshaking on the interface.

2.2.3 RS-485 interface

RS-485 is similar to RS-422 but uses two wires plus ground, and can be used to connect
one Modbus master to more than one Modbus slave. Both the Modbus master and other
Modbus slaves must be able to control handshaking on the interface.

2.3 Manual communications checks

The Modbus card will not indicate or report a communication failure of the Regard
system or of the Modbus system. Two commands are available which allow manual
checking of communications:
• Command 14–7 can be used to verify that the Modbus card is receiving the
information on the Regard RS-485 bus correctly.
• Command 14–8 can be used to verify reception of Modbus requests from the Modbus
master.

4 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
4.1 Configure Regard master card and channel cards
For correct operation of the Modbus card, the Regard master card and channel cards
must be correctly configured.

4.2 Configure Modbus card

4.2.1 Set baud rate and parity
The baud rate and parity setting of the Modbus card must be the same as used on the
Modbus master. Use commands 52-4 and 52-5 to set the baud rate and parity
respectively.

4.2.2 Set Regard communications checksum (CRC or CSUM)

The Modbus card must use the same communications checksum as the rest of the
Regard system. Use command 52-6 to set the checksum.

4.2.3 Set Modbus slave number

If more than one Modbus slave is connected to a Modbus master, the Modbus slave
number for each slave must be set. Use command 52–1 on the Modbus card to set the
Modbus slave number for the card.

4.2.4 Enable/disable exceptions

Normally, any attempt by the Modbus master to access information on a Regard channel
card which is not present will result in a Modbus exception. If the Modbus Master cannot
be configured to access only the Regard channel cards which are present, use
commands 52–2 and 52–3 to suppress exceptions.

4.2.5 Set gas level range

The gas level can be sent to the Modbus master as either signed (-32768 to +32767) or
unsigned (0 to +32767). When set unsigned, negative gas levels are sent as zero. Use
command 52-7 to select signed or unsigned gas levels.

4.3 Test communications

Ensure that the Modbus card is successfully maintaining information for each Regard
channel card. Use command 14–7 and ensure that ‘Y’ is displayed for each channel
card. If not, check that the correct communications checksum has been selected.

Ensure that the Modbus card is successfully receiving and responding to requests from
the Modbus master. Use command 14–8 to confirm that the count of successful requests
increments regularly as the Modbus master operates. If the count remains at zero,
ensure that the Modbus master and Modbus card are configured to the correct
communications format. Check that the Modbus master is attempting communications
with the correct Modbus slave number. Check that the switch on the Modbus card is set
correctly.

4.4 Save settings

Use command 00–2 to save the configuration settings.

APPENDIX D: MODBUS IMPLEMENTATION

The Regard Modbus card uses RTU transmission mode.

Function 02 – read alarm data

Modbus function 02 reads channel card alarm information. Up to 1499 bits can be read
by one command.

Each channel card alarm (A1, A2, A3 and Fault) has three status bits:
• TRIPPED – indicates alarm trip status (1 = tripped);
• ACTIVE – indicates relay alarm state (1 = relay in alarm state);
(If a relay is disabled, the ACTIVE bit reflects the state of the relay if it were not
disabled.)
• UN-ACKNOWLEDGED – indicates whether an alarm has been acknowledged (1 = un-
acknowledged).

Each channel card also has three additional status bits:

• INHIBIT – indicates that the channel card is in alarm inhibit (1 = inhibit);
• HCAL – indicates that the 4-20mA measuring head connected to the channel card is
in calibration mode (1 = calibration mode);
• CRITICAL FAULT – indicates that the channel card has a critical card fault (1 = critical
fault).

Digital addresses
10001-10099 A1 TRIPPED status for channels 01-99
10101-10199 A1 ACTIVE status for channels 01-99
10201-10299 A1 UN-ACKNOWLEDGED status for channels 01-99
10301-10399 A2 TRIPPED status for channels 01-99
10401-10499 A2 ACTIVE status for channels 01-99
10501-10599 A2 UN-ACKNOWLEDGED status for channels 01-99
10601-10699 A3 TRIPPED status for channels 01-99
10701-10799 A3 ACTIVE status for channels 01-99
10801-10899 A3 UN-ACKNOWLEDGED status for channels 01-99
10901-10999 Fault alarm TRIPPED status for channels 01-99
11001-11099 Fault alarm ACTIVE status for channels 01-99
11101-11199 Fault alarm UN-ACKNOWLEDGED status for channels 01-99
11201-11299 INHIBIT status for channels 01-99
11301-11399 HCAL status for channels 01-99
11401-11499 CRITICAL FAULT status for channels 01-99

Attempting to read a digital with an address greater than 11499 will result in Modbus
exception code 02 (illegal data address).

Reading a digital with addresses 10100, 10200 etc. will always return 0.

Modbus exception code 04 (slave device failure) is returned if the data from any channel
has not been updated for more than 40 seconds. Command 52–2 can be used to prevent
exception code 04 being returned by this function.

Caution! Suppressing exception code 04 may result in out of date information.

REGARD Modbus Card 15

Function 04 – read gas level and alarm data

Modbus function 04 reads the gas level and the alarms status for each channel card. Up
to 99 words can be read by one command.

Register addresses
30001–30099 Gas level word for channels 01–99
31001–31099 Alarms status word for channels 01–99

The gas level word takes a value in the range –32768 to +32767. This corresponds to
the gas level on the channel card display, ignoring any decimal point. (For example, for
a display of 20.9, the word value will be 209.) Normally the value will be between –20%
and +100% of the gas range. If the gas level display on the channel card is at or above
full scale, the word value will be +32767. If unsigned gas levels have been selected the
range is 0 to +32767. Negative gas levels are set to 0.

The alarm status word contains the alarm and channel status bits:

Bit
0 A1 UN-ACKNOWLEDGED status
1 A1 ACTIVE status
2 A1 TRIPPED status
3 CRITICAL FAULT Status

4 A2 UN-ACKNOWLEDGED status
5 A2 ACTIVE status
6 A2 TRIPPED status
7 HCAL status
8 A3 UN-ACKNOWLEDGED status
9 A3 ACTIVE status
10 A3 TRIPPED status
11 INHIBIT status

12 Fault alarm UN-ACKNOWLEDGED status

13 Fault alarm ACTIVE status
14 Fault alarm TRIPPED status
15 Channel card not responding

Reads to register addresses 30100 to 31000 inclusive, or to addresses greater than

31099 will result in exception code 02 (illegal data address).

Modbus exception code 04 (slave device failure) is returned for reads to addresses
30001 to 30099 if the data from any channel has not been updated for more than 40
seconds. Command 52–3 can be used to suppress exception code 04 for this function.

Caution! Suppressing exception code 04 may result in out of information.

For reads to addresses 31001 to 31099, exception code 04 is not returned, but bit 15 is
set to 1 if the data from any channel has not been updated for more than 40 seconds.
16 REGARD Modbus Card

Function 06 – acknowledge / reset alarms (V2.0 only)

This function allows a Modbus Master to acknowledge or reset alarms in a Regard
system.

Writing “1” to register address 40100 will send a alarm accept message on the Regard
RS-485 bus. This is equivalent to pressing R on the Regard Master card.

This function is only available in Regard Modbus card software version 2.0.

Writing to register addresses other than 40100 will generate exception code 02. Writing
a data value other than 1 to register 40100 will generate exception code 03.

Caution! If another “external” device (e.g. a PC) transmits on the Regard RS-485 bus when this
function is used, data collisions may occur on the RS-485 bus, causing both the alarm
acknowledge and the other devices action to fail.

Other functions
Attempts to use Modbus functions 01, 03, 05 or 07 will give Modbus exception code 01
(illegal function). Attempts to use any other Modbus function will give no response.
