Hi
We upgraded the OS in a CR10X to the ModBus enabled version and it runs fine when using the CS-I/O port. Unfortunately this port is actually not available as it is used to upload data through a modem. After reading the documentation of the P222 instruction (MODBUS Initiate Telecommunications) I'm still not sure if the CR10X supports ModBus through any of the control ports...
From the manual: calling mode parameter
+++++
A code in the form of ABCD, which is used to set the calling mode in the instruction. If this parameter is indexed, the baud rate is 1200 bps. Otherwise, the baud rate is 9600 bps.
[A and B removed]
C
4 CS I/O port
5 Control port, no break
6 Control port with break
D
X Enter the number for Control port 1 - 7, TX
X1 Enter the number for Control port 1 - 7, RX
If C = 4 (CS I/O port), enter 0 for D.
+++++
If I understand it correctly I can set C to 5 to route ModBus through a control port and D to 1 to have TX on C1.
But what does the X1 mean???
Will it be a TTL TX/RX interface?
Thanks
Thomas
Thomas,
Thank you for brining this to our attention. There is a misprint in the help. The section for 'D' should read as follows:
D
X Enter the number for control port 1 - 7, TX.
X + 1 Enter the number for control port 2 - 8, RX.
Where X is the control port number and X + 1 is the next control port (i.e. if you are using control port 5 for TX, then the parameter for 'D' would be 56).
Also to answer your last question - yes TTL levels are used.
