Rockwell Automation 2080-LC70-24QWB User Manual

56 Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-UM002N-EN-E - November 2022
Chapter 5 Communication Connections
Here are some configuration examples based on the limits described in the table above:
1. The maximum number of drives that can be controlled over EtherNet/IP is 16. This is
due to the maximum limit of TCP Client connections is 16, and the maximum limit of
EtherNet/IP Client connections is also 16.
2. If you have 10 devices controlled over EtherNet/IP, the maximum number of devices
that can be controlled over serial is six. This is due to the maximum limit of Client
connections is 16.
3. The total number of UDP sockets plus TCP Client/Server sockets has a maximum limit
of eight.
Modbus RTU
Modbus is a half-duplex, master-slave communications protocol. The Modbus network master
reads and writes bits and registers. Modbus protocol allows a single master to communicate
with a maximum of 247 slave devices. Micro800 controllers support Modbus RTU Master and
Modbus RTU Slave protocol. For more information on configuring your Micro800 controller for
Modbus protocol, see the Connected Components Workbench Online Help. For more
information about the Modbus protocol, see Modbus Protocol Specifications available from
https://www.modbus.org
.
For information on Modbus mapping, see Modbus Mapping for Micro800
on page 261.
To configure the serial port as Modbus RTU, see Configure Modbus RTU
on page 64.
