8.6.2 Modbus
8.6.2.1 Overview
Modbus is a widely used SCADA communication protocol that facilitates
exchange of information and data between computers / HMI software, instruments
(RTUs) and Modbus-compatible sensors. The CR1000 communicates via Modbus
over RS-232, RS-485, and TCP.
Modbus systems consist of a master (PC), RTU / PLC slaves, field instruments
(sensors), and the communications-network hardware. The communications port,
baud rate, data bits, stop bits, and parity are set in the Modbus driver of the master
and / or the slaves. The Modbus standard has two communications modes, RTU
and ASCII. However, CR1000s communicate in RTU mode exclusively.
Field instruments can be queried by the CR1000. Because Modbus has a set
command structure, programming the CR1000 to get data from field instruments
is much simpler than from serial sensors. Because Modbus uses a common bus
and addresses each node, field instruments are effectively multiplexed to a
CR1000 without additional hardware.
A CR1000 goes into sleep mode after 40 seconds of communications inactivity.
Once asleep, two packets are required before the CR1000 will respond. The first
packet awakens the CR1000; the second packet is received as data. CR1000s,
through DevConfig or the Status table (see the appendix Status Table and Settings
(p. 527) ) can be set to keep communications ports open and awake, but at higher
power usage.
