CP1E_taModbus [Compatibility Mode]

The document outlines the use of Modbus-RTU to communicate with a Motor Driver, aiming to reduce PLC I/O usage while enhancing functionality. It highlights the challenge of needing to simultaneously write commands and read outputs from the Motor Driver. Potential solutions include utilizing the built-in RS232C for Modbus-RTU or employing two Modbus Masters for separate read and write operations.

Objective:
Use Modbus-RTU to send command Inputs to Motor Driver and monitor
Outputs from Motor Driver. The idea is similar using PLC I/O’s.

Purpose:
Lessen PLC I/O’s and use Modbus-RTU instead. Also for additional functions.

Problem:
1) Need to command (write) and monitor (read) the Motor Driver at the
SAME TIME. So far, I can either WRITE or READ but I need to do both simultaneously.

Possibilities?
1) Use Built-in RS232C for Modbus-RTU? (can’t find manuals for this)
2) 2 Modbus Masters; Built-in port and Option port (CP1W-CIF11).
a) Built-in port for READ
b) Option port for WRITE
