MBSlaveRTU

Function Block - MODBUS RTU Slave protocol on serial port.

Inputs

IN : BOOL Enabling command: the port is open when this input is TRUE
PORT : STRING Settings string for the serial port (e.g. 'COM1:9600,N,8,1')
SLV : DINT MODBUS slave number

Outputs

Q : BOOL TRUE if the port is successfully open

Remarks

When active, this function block manages the MODBUS RTU Slave protocol on the specified serial communication port. The configuration of the MODBUS Slave map (designing MODBUS addresses) is done using the MODBUS configuration tool, from the Fieldbus Configurator.

There can be several instances of the MBSlaveRTU working simultaneously on different serial ports. Other MODBUS Slave connections (TCP server, UDP) can also be active at the same time.

The slave number entered in the MODBUS Slave configuration tool is ignored when MODBUS Slave protocol is handled by this function block. Instead, the SLV input specifies the MODBUS slave number.
