SET COMMU ICATIO :
This section define the fundamental communication parameters of two buses,
Modbus TCP Slave and Modbus Master.
By Pressing the “Set Communication” button from the main window of SW674-
A002 (Fig. 2) the window “Set Communication” appears (Fig. 3).
The section “Operation Mode” defines the operation of the Converter in “Routing
Mode” or “ AT Mode” (see the description at page 17).
The means of the fields for the “Modbus TCP Slave” section are:
In the fields “IP ADDRESS” the IP address of Modbus TCP side of the
converter is defined;
In the fields “SUB ET Mask” the SubNet Mask of Modbus TCP side of the
converter is defined;
In the fields “GATEWAY” the default gateway of the network is defined. This
feature can be enabled or disabled pressing the Check Box field. This feature
is used for going out of the net;
In the field “Port” the port used for Modbus TCP communication is defined;
Checking “Enable UDP Port” field it is possible to do a Broadcast request.
This request must be made at Port 64223 ($FADF) with these six byte of
data: $53, $45, $41, $52, $43, $48. Each device in response sends a total of
10 Bytes. These bytes are four for the IP and the other for the MAC address
(Example of response: 0xC0, 0xA8, 0x01, 0x2A, 0x11, 0x22, 0x33, 0x44,
0x55, 0x58. So the IP is: 192.168.1.42; and the MAC Address: 11-22-33-44-
55-58 );
If the field “Enable Special Command” is checked, it is possible to send a
no-Modbus request through the Converter. i.e. a TCP frame with the first two
characters 0x55 and 0xAA is sent in the Modbus TU line as is. If you don’t
want to send the first two bytes (0x55, 0xAA) in the TU line it is possible to
check the field “Cancel the first two bytes”;
