Protocol Configuration E-9
Modbus™ RTU Slave
Protocol (MicroLogix
1200 Controllers and
MicroLogix 1500 Series
B and higher Processors
only)
This section shows the configuration parameters for Modbus RTU Slave
(Remote Terminal Unit transmission mode) protocol. For more
information about the Modbus Slave protocol, see the Modbus Protocol
Specification (available from http://www.modicon.com/techpubs/
).
The Modbus RTU slave driver maps the four Modbus data types—Coils,
Contacts, Input Registers, and Holding Registers—into four binary and/or
integer data table files created by the user. The coil and contact files can
contain up to 4096 coils or contacts in each register when the data table
file is configured for a maximum size of 256 words. The input register and
holding register files can contain up to 256 registers when the data table
file is configured for a maximum size of 256 words.
The modbus Memory map is summarized in Table E.4 and detailed in
Table E.5 below:
