The diagram below summarizes the use of the MSTR block to send unsolicited data with compressed timestamping to the CIMPLICITY Modbus TCP/IP communication enabler from a device.
In this example:
The Control Block, found in
Holding Registers 40100 through 40108, contains control information
for the MSTR block. These indicate that nine registers worth of
data will be sent to the device at IP address 192.1687.0.57 and
stored starting at address 40001.
The CIMPLICITY Modbus TCP/IP
Device Communications Enabler does not use address information
configured in the control block. Instead, it interprets the data
area as a command.
The Data Block, found in Holding
Registers 40200 through 40208, contains a command to the CIMPLICITY
Modbus TCP/IP communications enabler to set the value of a point at
Input Register 17 to a value of 21035 with a compressed
timestamp.
