    Section 2 1MAC052634-MB D Modbus overview Section 2 Modbus overview Modbus standard Modbus is a communication protocol developed by the Modicon company in the 1970’s. Originally it was used for communication in PLCs and RTU devices. Later on the Modbus protocol has been used in a variety of different device applications.
  • Page 14: Application Data Implementation

    Section 2 1MAC052634-MB D Modbus overview 2.1.3 Application data implementation This IED is designed to operate with a wide range of different Modbus masters and clients. The Modbus memory map offers the possibility to view IED's internal process data in a simple I/O map style which is mainly aimed at PLC masters and other process automation devices.

    Section 3 1MAC052634-MB D Vendor-specific implementation Section 3 Vendor-specific implementation Modbus link alternatives Modbus communication is possible over the serial communication interface, over the Ethernet interface, or over both interfaces simultaneously. 3.1.1 Serial link Modbus serial communication requires that the IED variant is equipped with a serial interface card at the slot X000.
  • Page 16: Modbus Serial Diagnostic Counters

    Section 3 1MAC052634-MB D Vendor-specific implementation In a multidrop RS-485 Modbus network the unit may detect and receive response messages from other slave units. Thus, consider the minimum silent time between the response frame and the beginning of master’s next request frame when setting the end delay in Modbus RTU mode.

    Section 3 1MAC052634-MB D Vendor-specific implementation into the next 11 registers. If this is the first time the client reads events from the IED, the oldest event of the Modbus event buffer is loaded into the 11 event record registers. Selection code 2: Reading the oldest stored record Selection code 2 always forces the event reading to go back to the oldest event in the Modbus event buffer.
  • Page 38 Section 3 1MAC052634-MB D Vendor-specific implementation Unread records left This register shows how many unread event records still remain unread for the client in question at a particular moment. Time stamp registers Time stamp is either in local time or UTC time. The time stamp alternative is selected with a Modbus parameter.

The Modbus protocol will give an exception response if the client tries to read out too few registers from the fault record structure. Selection code 1: Reading the oldest unread record When writing the selection code 1, the IED first checks the client. If the client has been reading fault records before, the IED knows which internal fault record has been sent to this specific client during the last reading.
  • Page 47 Section 3 1MAC052634-MB D Vendor-specific implementation Other fault record registers Sequence number Every fault record is given a sequence number. The sequence number runs from 1 to 65535 and then rolls over to one again. The client can check that the sequence numbers of the recorded data are sequential.
