Citect Modbus Driver Help
MODBUS MODBUSMODBUS enables you to establish master-slave communications with any connected device that supports the MODBUS protocol. Any controller in the network may function as either or using any of the controller's existing COM Ports.Unitronics currently supports MODBUS in the following transmission modes:RTU (binary)M91The M91 series supports MODBUS via built-in COM portsJazzAlthough Jazz PLCs do not comprise built-in COM ports, Jazz can support MODBUS if you install an appropriate add-on port module, available separately.M90The M90 series does not support MODBUSJazzJazz 2 controllers can support Ethernet via an Add-on Port module plugged into the Jazz Jack. For more information, refer to the topic.Via this port, you can run MODBUS commands over Ethernet.Note that:.Communications capabilities are determined by the type of Add-on Module.Default COM settings and pin-outs are given in the technical specifications of the relevant Add-on Port.The MJ20-PRG Programming Port may be used for RS232 communications with devices that supply active (RS232 positive voltage) DTR and RTS signals.Using MODBUSSince there are no Ladder elements for MODBUS functions; you perform them by storing values into SIs in accordance with the tables and figures shown below. Before you can run a MODBUS command, you must configure MODBUS parameters for both Master and Slave devices.
Configuration ParametersThese parameters configure a controller for MODBUS communications. A device is configured for MODBUS by storing the value 600 into SI 140.To configure a slave device, build a Ladder net that stores the appropriate values into the SIs according to the following table, and that ends by storing the value 600 into SI 140.Jazz Users: note that in order to implement MODBUS via RS485, you must first configure, and then initialize the Jazz port to RS485 as explained in the topic.ParameterStore into SIFunctionNetwork ID141Range: 0-255.This is the Network ID number of the device on the network. You can either assign an ID via an MI, or directly via a constant number. Do not assign the same ID number to more than one device.Time out142Time out units:10 msecs; a Time out value of 100 is equal to 1 second.This is the amount of time a master device will wait for an answer from a slave.Retries143This is the number of times a device will try to send a message.Maximum Time Delay144Time units: 2.5 msec.This is the maximum time interval permitted between 2 messages.

This should be set to 2, setting the permitted interval to 5 msecs (n x 2.5 =interval).Baud Rate145Store the value into SI 145 to set the baud rate.Note that Jazz does not support the following baud rates: 110, 38400, 57600. In addition, ‘2’ Stop Bits is not supported. Before you can call a MODBUS command, you store the appropriate parameter values into the correct SIs in accordance with the Command Parameters table. After this is done, call the command by storing the command number into SI 140.The figure below shows how to implement the MODBUS command Read Output Registers.ParameterStore into SIFunctionSlave Unit Network ID141The ID of the slave device containing the data to be read (data source).Slave: Start of Vector142The start of the vector of operands in the slave. Check the Slave Address Tables below.Vector Length143The vector length.Note ♦ A MODBUS command cannot read/write more than 1900 bit operands at one time.
In addition, 0 is not a legal length.Master: Operand Type144Store the number that relates to the type of operand you wish to write to in the master device.MB1SB2MI3SI4I9O10T (current)129T (preset)128Master start of Vector145MODBUS Command140Note ♦While a master attempts to send a command, SB 66 Function In Progress is ON. The number of attempts that the master will make is the number in Retries +1, where '1' is the initial access attempt.♦When a master attempts to access a slave device, and the slave does not answer, SB 66 Function In Progress will turn ON. This bit will remain on according to the following:(the number of retries + 1) x (Time Out), where '1' is the initial access attempt. Note that the Time Out parameter is in units of 10 msec. The number in parenthesis is given for reference purposes only; it is the standard MODBUS command number.MODBUS CommandsU90 Command # (Value to store into SI 140Read Coils (1)601Force Coil (5)602 The value you enter in SI 145 (0 or 1) is written (forced) to the coil whose address is given in SI 144.

Hello,I have nearly finished my degree and then i came across this little problem. It seems that i cannot find a driver for Modbus TCP in Citect SCADA 6.10 when i run the driver wizard.I have to integrate metering system with Carlo Gavazzis VMUC-EM.
I have done all my testings on the version 7.20 which has industry standard protocol, and it has modbus tcp in it. Now i'd like to take what learned in practice and use them in this project which has the version 6.10.So does anybody know that is there a specific driver in it which is under different name or manufacturer?
Can i download drivers somewhere or can i transfer driver files from my Citect 7.20?If you can help me with this; i would be very happy because this affects on my graduation.Thank you for your answers already! For download driver please check this link.Thank you very much. I downloaded few versions of those driver packs before they moved their site. I found the same i driver protocols that i have used.Now i have a new problem. It seem that i get #COM when i setup my communication as in my test project.
I have also checked if ports were open by using telnet in cmd; it seemed that there was not the problem.Citect Scada kernel gives me error'Error: Channel offline, cannot talkREAD 0015 PORT1BOARD VMUCGeneric 000021 Driver 00000020 (0x00000014)'I googled the error code but all i got was this:Could this mean that PC hardware is just old or something. Actually the server pc is XP and over 10 years old.
