Introducing the Modbus to Ethernet Bridge

Overview The Modicon Modbus to Ethernet Bridge provides a means for transacting messages between Ethernet TCP/IP devices and Modbus serial devices. It supports up to eight concurrent transactions between Modbus Master and Slave devices, handling the conversion of TCP/IP and Modbus RTU/ASCII protocols transparently to the user application. Ethernet nodes using TCP/IP can function as Modbus Masters, originating messages to the Bridge for delivery to Modbus Slave devices connected to the Bridges Modbus port. The Bridge forwards the messages to the Slave devices using Modbus RTU or ASCII protocol and returns their responses to the Master. The following figure shows a typical application in which a Bridge connects two Modbus Masters on Ethernet to several Modbus Slave serial devices.

Bridge 174 CEV 300 20 Modbus
The bridge also allows multiple Modbus networks to be linked together across an Ethernet connection. Multiple Bridges can furnish an Ethernet link between widely separated Modbus networks. This extends the message path beyond the cable lengths allowed for serial connections, and allows a Master on any Modbus network to access Slave devices on another network.

Installation and Configuration
The Bridge is designed for easy snap mounting on a standard DIN rail.Its front panel has connectors for power, ground, Ethernet and Modbus cables. It has a switch for selecting either an RS232 or RS422/485 interface for the Modbus port. Indicators show the status of communication at the Ethernet and Modbus ports. The Bridge contains a configuration utility program stored in its nonvolatile memory. With this utility you can assign the Bridges Ethernet and Modbus parameters, using an ASCII terminal at the serial port or a Telnet connection over Ethernet. The Bridge contains a factory-assigned MAC address that is derived from the serial number printed on the Bridges label. This allows you to establish an Ethernet connection to the Bridge to assign its IP address and the other parameters for reapplication.

Mapping Modbus and IP Addresses

Overview The Bridge maps messages between Modbus and IP addresses according to the type of device you have configured at its Modbus port. When you configure a Modbus Master device at the Bridges serial port, you can assign up to eight entries into an internal mapping table that is maintained in the Bridges memory. You enter your intended mapping into the table during your configuration of the Bridge. Each entry into the Mapping table for a Modbus Master can include the mapping of a range of Modbus serial addresses to a range of IP addresses. The Modbus serial address can be used to form the last byte of the IP address. This allows a Modbus Master to address 8 different subnets of IP devices. When the Bridge receives a message from the Master, it searches the mapping table for an entry matching the Modbus address in the message. If one is found, the Bridge sends the message to the IP address for that entry. If a matching entry is not found, the Bridge returns an exception response to the Master application. Note that the original Modbus address is retained in the message transmitted to the IP destination. If the remote IP node is another Bridge, the messages Modbus address can be used to identify a Slave device at that Bridges serial port. Mapping for a Modbus Slave When you configure a Modbus Slave device or network with multiple Slaves at the Bridges serial port, you have two options for routing messages to a Slave destination. You assign your choice during your configuration of the Bridge. Your options are: Message address routing; or, Fixed address routing. You can specify that the Bridge must route each message to the Slave device that is identified in the Modbus address field of the message. This allows any Slave device with an assigned address from 1-247 at the Bridges Modbus port. You can specify that the Bridge must route all messages to one fixed Slave address that you define in the Bridges configuration. With this option the Modbus address field is ignored, and each message is routed to that fixed Slave address only. This limits addressing to a single device at the port. The following figure shows an example of message address mapping between a Modbus Master and a Modbus Slave using two Bridges with an Ethernet link.

Note: For RS-485 2-wire functionality, pins 1 & 4 and 2 & 3 of the screw terminals must be connected together.
Note: Termination resistors (R = 120 ) are used to match impedance of a node to the impedance of the transmission (TX) line. Termination resistors should be placed only at the extreme ends of the data line, and no more than two terminations should be placed in any single segment of a RS-485 network. The terminator resistors may not be needed for your application.

Connecting the Ethernet Cable

Overview The Ethernet cable connects to the RJ45 port connection for a 10/100base T Ethernet connection. DANGER Communication Disruption Hazard Connecting any device to an active Ethernet network can disrupt communication on your network. Before you connect the Bridge to your network and before you apply power to the Bridge, follow the instructions in Configuring the Bridge, p. 43. Failure to follow this precaution will result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Methods of Assigning the IP Address

Overview The units IP address must be configured before a network connection is available. You have the following options for assigning an IP to your unit:
Method DHCP ARP and Telnet Description A DHCP server automatically assigns the IP address and network settings. You manually assign the IP address and other network settings at a command prompt using a UNIX or Windows-based system. Only one person at a time can be logged into the configuration port (port 9999). This eliminates the possibility of several people simultaneously attempting to configure the unit. See Connecting by Telnet (IP Address Not Assigned), p. 46 for more information. This automatic method is appropriate when you have a small group of hosts rather than a large network. This method allows the hosts to negotiate with each other and assign addresses, in effect creating a small network. You initially configure the unit through a serial connection. See Connecting by the RS-232 Port, p. 45 for more information. A BootP server automatically assigns the IP address.
AutoIP
Serial Port Login
BootP
DHCP
The unit ships with a default IP address of 0.0.0.0, which automatically enables DHCP. Provided a DHCP server exists on the network, it will assign the unit an IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask when the unit boots up. The Bridge has acquired an IP address if the red LED stops flashing and the green Status LED is on continuously. (If no DHCP server exists, the unit responds with a diagnostic error: the red Diagnostic LED blinks continuously, and the green Status LED blinks five times. This blinking only continues for about 15 seconds.) Note: This DHCP address will not appear in the units standard configuration screens. You can determine your units DHCP-assigned IP address from the DHCP server.
41
DHCP Naming
There are three methods for assigning DHCP names to these products. 1. Default DHCP name. If you do not change the DHCP name, and you are using an IP of 0.0.0.0, then the DHCP name will default to CXXXXXX (XXXXXX is the last 6 digits of the MAC address shown on the label on the bottom/side of the unit). For example, if the MAC address is 00-20-4A-12-34-56, then the default DHCP name is C123456. 2. Numeric DHCP name. You are able to change the DHCP name by specifying the last octet of the IP address. When you use this method, the DHCP name will be BRIDGEYY where YY is what you chose for the last octet of the IP address. If the IP address you specify is 0.0.0.12, then the DHCP name will be BRIDGE12. This method will only work with 2 digit numbers (0-99).
AutoIP
The unit ships with a default IP address of 0.0.0.0, which automatically enables Auto IP within the unit. AutoIP is an alternative to DHCP that allows hosts to automatically obtain an IP address in smaller networks that may not have a DHCP server. A range of IP addresses (from 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254) has been explicitly reserved for AutoIP-enabled devices. The range of Auto IP addresses is not to be used over the Internet. If your unit cannot find a DHCP server, and you have not manually assigned an IP address to it, the unit automatically selects an address from the AutoIP reserved range. Then, your unit sends out a (ARP) request to other nodes on the same network to see whether the selected address is being used.
l If the selected address is not in use, then the unit uses it for local subnet
communication.
l If another device is using the selected IP address, the unit selects another
address from the AutoIP range and reboots itself. After reboot, the unit sends out another ARP request to see if the selected address is in use, and so on. AutoIP is not intended to replace DHCP. The unit will continue to look for a DHCP server on the network. If a DHCP server is found, the unit will switch to the DHCP server-provided address and reboot. Note: If a DHCP server is found, but it denies the request for an IP address, the unit does not attach to the network, but waits and retries. AutoIP can be disabled by setting the units IP address to 0.0.1.0. This setting enables DHCP but disables AutoIP.

Before You Start

Overview Your Bridge must be configured to match your system application. Before you start to configure the Bridge, get the Bridges Ethernet and serial port parameters from your network administrator. WARNING Communication Disruption Hazard When you view, change the configuration, or reset a running Bridge, you will disrupt communication with the Bridge. Ensure that this action will not cause any undesirable effect on your application. Failure to follow this precaution can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
WARNING Duplicate Address Hazard Having two or more devices with the same IP address can cause unpredictable operation of your network. Ensure that you will be assigning a unique IP address to the Bridge. Failure to follow this precaution can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
Configuration Check List
Here is your check list for obtaining the configuration information:

Connecting by the RS-232 Port

Overview To configure the Bridge at its local RS232 port, use a serial terminal emulation program and a modem cable. Regardless of any serial parameters currently set into the Bridge for a user application, it will always use the following parameters for setup: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, No parity, 1 Stop bit (9600,8,N,1). Set your emulator to these parameters. Refer to the figure below:

Force the Bridge into its Configuration mode as follows:
l Ensure the emulator is connected to the Bridges serial port and ready. l Hold down the X key on your emulator keyboard. While holding the key
down,initialize the Bridge by cycling its power or by pressing its Reset button. The Bridge will enter its configuration mode, and you will see this opening screen: Schneider Automation, Inc. Modbus Bridge (174 CEV 300 20) Serial Number 101161 Software Version V01.00 (990402) Press Enter to go into Setup Mode, wait to close At this screen, press <Enter> to go to the Configuration Menu. See Using the Configuration Menu, p. 48 for more information.
45
Connecting by Telnet (IP Address Not Assigned)

Overview If the Bridge does not yet have an IP address stored in its memory, you can establish an initial connection using its MAC address. This will allow you to access the Bridges Configuration Menu, assign an IP address, and make it persistent in the Bridge. If you are not sure about whether your Bridge has a stored IP address, you must connect at its serial port and access its Configuration Menu. See Connecting by the RS-232 Port, p. 45 for information on how to connect the serial port. To use Telnet to set an initial IP address for the Bridge, your Telnet host must be on the same Ethernet subnetwork as the Bridge, both physically and in its IP range. Otherwise, the configuration will not work. Take the following steps to connect by telnet:
1 Get the Bridges MAC Address. The Bridges MAC address is printed on the label on its side panel. Example: MAC address: 00 20 4A 01 65 A1. 2 Issue an "arp" Command to the Bridge. Open a Console or DOS window. Issue an arp command to the Bridge with this syntax: Syntax: arp s <IP_address> <MAC_address> Example (UNIX): arp s 192.168.1.23 00:20:4A:01:65:A1 Example (DOS): arp s 192.168.1.23 00204A0165A1 To confirm IP assignment, issue another arp command: arp -a 3 Connect by Telnet to Port 1. Open a Telnet connection to the IP address you assigned in Step 2, using port 1. This connection will fail, but the Bridge will change its IP address to the one in this Telnet connection. This will allow you to make your final connection for configuring the Bridge. Connect by Telnet to Port 9999. Open a new a Telnet connection to the IP address using port 9999. This connection will succeed. You should now see the Bridges opening screen: Schneider Automation, Inc. Modbus Bridge (174 CEV 300 20) Serial Number 101161 Software Version V01.00 (990402) Press Enter to go into Setup Mode, wait to close At this screen press Enter to go to the Configuration Menu (see Using the Configuration Menu, p. 48).

Connecting by Telnet (IP Address Assigned)

Overview If the Bridge already has an IP address stored in its memory, and you know that address, you can establish a Telnet connection to the Bridge using port 9999.If you do not know the IP address currently stored in the Bridge, you can find that address by connecting to the Bridges serial port and accessing its Configuration Menu. See Connecting by the RS-232 Port, p. 45 for information on how to connect to the serial port. If you want to verify the existence of an Ethernet device at a known IP address, you can use the PING utility. Telnet Host Requirement To use Telnet to set an initial IP address for the Bridge, your Telnet host must be on the same Ethernet subnetwork as the Bridge, both physically and in its IP range. Otherwise the configuration will not work. See the figure below:

Option 1: Network IP Settings

Overview When you first connect to the product, the menu for option 1 will appear as: IP Address .......... -0.0.0.0/DHCP/BOOTP/AutoIP Default Gateway .......... 192.168.001.001 Netmask .......... 255.255.255.000 The IP address of the unit can be determined through four different ways:
l through the menu by entering an address l by setting a DHCP server (see DHCP, p. 41) l by setting a BootP server l by using the AutoIP method (see AutoIP, p. 42)
When you select option 1 on the configuration menu, the Bridge gives you the ability to configure all Ethernet parameters. An example is shown below: IP Address (192).(168).(001).(008) Set Gateway IP Address (Y)Y Gateway IP Address: (192).(168).(001).(001) Set Netmask (N for default)(Y)Y (255).(255).(255).(000) Change telnet config password (N)Y Enter new Password: mart IP Address The four entry fields for the IP address are shown as parenthesis ( ). To retain the Bridges current IP address, just press Enter at each field. To assign a new IP address, enter it into each field. IP 0.0.0.0.0: Note that setting the IP address to all zero (0.0.0.0) causes the Bridge to be in an "Address Not Assigned" status. It reports its address as: 0.0.0.0/DHCP/BOOTP/ AutoIP. The Gateway IP Address is used only if your Ethernet network is larger than one continuous network (it contains subnetworks).
Set Gateway IP Address
51
Each node within the subnetwork can directly reach all the other nodes within the same subnetwork. If the Bridges subnetwork has a gateway to another subnetwork, the Gateway IP Address parameter identifies the gateways address.
52
Set Netmask
If the Bridges subnetwork has a gateway node, the Bridge needs to know how to recognize which IP addresses it can communicate with directly on its own subnetwork and which addresses it must refer to the gateway node. The Netmask (subnetwork mask) specifies which portion of the an IP address defines devices on the local subnetwork, and which portion defines the entire subnetwork the devices are on. By comparing IP addresses with the subnetwork mask, the Bridge can determine which addresses are on its subnetwork and which are not. Users can define different subnetwork masks to support their requirements. For example, common "Class C" IP addresses assume a default subnetwork mask of0xFFFFFF00 or 255.255.255.0, using the lower 8 bits for the host part of the IP address. This allows up to 255 devices on the local subnetwork. If you want to have multiple subnetworks with up to 32 devices on each, the subnetwork mask could define 5 "host" bits or 255.255.255.224. With this setting, the decimal value 224 configures the lower 8 bits of the address, with the upper 3 of these bits addressing up to 8 subnetworks, and the lowest 5 bits forming the part of the address for the 32 local devices. If you wish to specify a subnetwork mask, enter Y at the menu prompt and then enter your values for the mask. Enter N to use the default subnetwork mask of 255.255.255.0.
Change Telnet Configuration Password
Setting the Telnet configuration password prevents unauthorized access of the setup menu via a Telnet connection to port 9999 or via Web pages. The password is limited to four characters. An enhanced password setting of 16 characters is available under Security Settings for Telnet access only. Passwords are alphanumeric and case sensitive. Note: No password is required to access the Setup Mode window via a serial connection.
53
Option 2: Serial and Mode Settings

Overview When you select option 2 on the Configuration Menu, the Bridge displays its current serial port settings. Below is an example: Attached Device (1=Slave, 2=Master) (2) Serial Protocol (1=Modbus/RTU, 2=Modbus/ASCII) (1) Interface Type (1=RS232, 2=RS422/RS485+4-wire, 3=RS485+2wire) (1) !! Remember to set the external switch also !! Enter Serial Parameters (9600,8,E,1) Attached Device Identify the type of Modbus device (Slave or Master) attached to the Bridges serial port. The default is Slave. Identify the type of Modbus protocol (RTU or ASCII) to be used at the serial port. The default is RTU. Identify the specific communication interface type (RS232, RS422 or RS485), including 2 or 4 wire connection, used at the serial port. The default is RS232. Enter the serial communication parameters used at the port, delimited by commas: <baudrate>,<databits>,<parity>,<stopbits> The defaults are: 9600,8,E,1. The allowed values are:

54
Option 3: Modem Control Settings

Overview When you select option 3 on the Configuration Menu, the Bridge displays: RTS/CTS Mode (1=Fixed, 2=Variable) (001): RTS (Request to Send) and CTS (Clear to Send) are serial port signals that coordinate the starting and stopping of data requests between the Bridge and its port device. You can customize the RTS/CTS mode. The options are: Fixed or Variable. The default is Fixed. This causes the Bridge to apply RTS/CTS with no time delays. If you enter 2 to select the Variable option, you can specify timing values to allow a slower device to respond in the RTS/CTS dialog. When you choose this option the Bridge displays: Delay after output RTS (01275 msec, 5 ms resolution) (00000): Wait for CTS to go active (N): Delay after CTS going active (01275 msec, 5 ms res) (00000): Delay dropping RTS after TX (01275 msec, 5 ms res) (00000): Example If you select the RTS/CTS Variable mode and enter the following values: RTS/CTS Mode (1=Fixed, 2=Variable) (001): 2 Delay after output RTS (01275 msec, 5 ms resolution) (00000): 200 Wait for CTS to go active (N): Y Delay after CTS going active (01275 msec, 5 ms res) (00000): 250 Delay dropping RTS after TX (01275 msec, 5 ms res) (00000): 300 ... you are specifying that after the Bridge asserts RTS it should wait up to 200 ms for the serial port device to respond with CTS. It will then wait 250 ms before sending data to the device. It will wait 300 ms before dropping RTS at the end of transmission. Your new values will be now be shown in the Bridges Configuration Menu: 3) Modem Control Settings: RTS Output ...................

Option 4: Advanced Modbus Protocol Settings

Overview When you select option 4 on the Configuration Menu, the Bridge displays parameters for the type of Modbus device (Slave or Master) at its serial port. Slave device parameters are (when Slave is selected in menu option 2): Slave Address (0 for auto, or 1...255 fixed otherwise) (0) Allow Modbus Broadcasts (1Yes, 2=No) (2) Use MB/TCP 0x0B/0x0A Exception Responses (1=No 2=Yes) (2) Disable Modbus/TCP pipeline (1=No 2=Yes) (1) Character Timeout (107050 msec) (50) Message Timeout (20065000 msec) (5000) Serial TX delay after RX (0-1275 msec) (0) Swap 4x/0x to get 3x/1x (N) N Master Device Master device parameters are: Use MB/TCP 0x0B/0x0A Exception Responses (1=No 2=Yes) (2) Disable Modbus/TCP pipeline (1=No 2=Yes) (1) Character Timeout (107050 msec) (00050) Message Timeout (20065000 msec) (01000) Serial TX delay after RX (0-1275 msec) (0) Swap 4x/0x to get 3x/1x (N) N Slave Address The Bridges Slave Address parameter specifies how the Bridge will direct messages received from Ethernet to a Slave device at the serial port. Each message originated from a Modbus Master contains a Unit_ID field that addresses a Modbus Slave destination device. The Bridge can be configured to use that Unit_ID address as received, or to substitute a fixed address instead. Setting the Slave Address parameter to 0 (zero) configures the Bridge to use the Unit_ID field as received in the message. It will pass the message out its Modbus port to the Slave device addressed in the Unit_ID field. Setting the Slave Address parameter to any nonzero value causes the Bridge to always use that fixed value as the Slave address for all messages sent out its Modbus port, regardless of the Unit_ID contained in the message. This routes all messages to a single device. The allowable nonzero range for entering this value is 1 ... 255 decimal. Note that Modbus Slave addresses are valid in the range 1 ... 247 only. The default is 0 (zero), specifying the Bridge to use the received Unit_ID field.
56
Slave Device
Allow Modbus Broadcasts
This parameter specifies whether the Bridge may allow a Modbus Broadcast message to be sent to Slave devices at its serial port, or not allow those messages. Broadcast messages are those received by the Bridge containing a Unit_ID of 0 (zero). If Modbus Broadcasts are allowed, broadcast messages are passed to the serial port as received with the Unit_ID contents of 0 (zero). If Modbus Broadcasts are not allowed, the Unit_ID in the message is disregarded and the message is sent to Slave address 1 at the serial port. The default is to not allow Broadcast messages to the serial port.
MB/TCP 0x0B/ 0x0A Exception Responses
This parameter defines if the bridge will send 0A and 0B modbus exception response codes if a connection cannot be established. If a Modbus Serial Master is attached, then disabling this option will prevent the Bridge from reporting a failed attempt to contact a TCP/IP device, the Bridge will also suppress any 0A and 0B responses received from the ethernet interface. The serial Master will instead see just silence and will experience a normal message timeout. This setting is useful for serial masters that cannot handle the 0A and 0B codes.If a Modbus Serial Slave is attached then these codes will be reported back to the Modbus TCP/IP device initiating a request to the Serial device.
Disable Modbus TCP Pipeline
This parameter will set the Bridge to disable Modbus TCP pipelining. Pipelining occurs when a Modbus TCP device sends more than one outstanding request to another device using a single socket connection. The MODBUS TCP/IP specification does not define this as valid operation, however some devices will attempt this. As the Modbus TCP device can send requests faster than the Bridge can retrieve answers from the attached serial devices, the message que will become clogged with old requests and retries. Disabling the pipeline forces the Bridge to only act on the most recent message in the queue. Other messages are discarded. This option must be used with caution, an alternate solution that should be attempted is to set the timeout of the modbus TCP/IP request to less than the message timeout set for the serial connection.
57
Character Timeout
This parameter sets the timeout value between successive characters in messages. If this timeout is exceeded, the Bridge returns an error response to the originating Master. Typically RTU protocol already contains a 3.5 character timeout, but some serial devices might have internal interrupts or other delays which can cause pauses of 5 to 10 characters during transmission. This parameter can be set to accommodate those devices. The allowable range is 10 ... 1275 msec in 5 msec increments. The default is 50 msec.
Message Timeout
This parameter sets the timeout value for the expected response from a Slave device. If a response is not received within this time, the Bridge continues with other tasks if any are pending from other Master devices. The Master application must provide its own method of handling the message timeout. The allowable range is 500 ... 60000 msec (0.5 ... 60 sec) in 250 msec increments. The default is 5000 msec (5 sec).
Serial TX Delay after RX Swap 4x/0x to Get 3x/1x
This parameter sets a delay value that is used to activate TX after an RX signal is received. The setup option Swap 4x/0x to get 3x/1x allows you to have the Bridge translate Modbus command Read Holding Reg (03) into Read Input Reg (04) or command Read Coil (01) into Read Input (02). You must set the corresponding Swap Offset to a non-zero value in setup. The Swap Offset entered is 0-based like the protocol. Setting an offset of 1 maps a Read Holding Reg of 400002-409999 to a Read Input Reg of 300001-309998. Setting an offset of 1000 maps a Read Holding Reg of 401001-409999 to a Read Input Reg of 300001-308999.
58
Option 5: Unit ID to IP Address Mapping Table

Overview If you have specified the Bridges serial port Attached Device parameter as a Modbus Master you will need to map the Slave addresses received in messages from that Master to their intended IP address destinations. The Bridge maps the onebyte Modbus Slave address to an IP address or an IP address range for delivery on Ethernet. The Bridge contains an address mapping table with eight entries. Each entry maps a Modbus Slave address (range 1 ... 247 decimal) to a standard IP address (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX) or to a range of IP addresses. When the Bridge receives a message from the Master at its serial port, the Bridge searches the table for a match between the messages Slave address and a Slave address entry in the mapping table. If a match is found, the Bridge forwards the message to the IP address specified in that location in the table. If a match is not found, a message timeout will occur. If a match is found, but there is not an active TCP connection at the IP address, a message timeout will occur. The Master application must provide its own method of handling the message timeout. The Bridge begins its search at table location 1, and continues in the sequence 1, 2 ... 8. It stops at the first location which matches the Slave address, and sends the message to the corresponding IP address. Thus any duplicate entry, if one exists in the table, will be ignored. If you have configured the serial port for a Modbus Master, you must use the mapping table to associate the ranges of Slave addresses in your Master application to the IP destination addresses for those Slaves. As noted above, in addition to direct mapping of a Modbus serial address to a IP address, the bridge can map a range of Serial addresses to a range of IP addresses. To configure the bridge in this way the user selects a range of Serial addresses but selects the last entry in the IP address as 000. The bridge will now use the modbus serial address as the last byte of the IP address. See the example in Examples: Address Mapping below.
How the Address Mapping Works
59
Examples: Address Mapping
If you have configured the serial port for a Modbus Master, and have entered your mapping, it will appear on the Bridges initial Configuration Menu. Here is an example. Example: Mapping Serial Address to IP Address 5) Unit ID > IP Address Table: Close Idle Sockets ......... 10 sec 001010: 192.168.001.000+SLV 011011: 192.168.001.111 012012: 192.168.001.142 Close Idle TCP sockets after (3-60 sec, 0=leave open) (10) (Set 4th octet to 0 to use Slave Address as part of IP) This configuration will map Modbus serial address 001-010 to IP address 10.143.128.001 - 10.143.128.010. Modbus Serial address 5 will be mapped to IP address 10.143.128.5. It maps Slave address 11 to IP address 192.168.1.111. It maps Slave address 12 to IP address 192.168.1.142.
Close Idle TCP Sockets After Entering New Address Mapping
This parameter defines how long the bridge should hold open an Idle Modbus TCP/ IP socket that has been initiated by a Modbus Serial Master. When you select option 5 on the Configuration Menu, the Bridge displays it current mapping. Then it prompts: A)dd, D)elete, E)xit select function: Adding a New Map Entry Press A to add a new entry into the mapping table. The Bridge will prompt you to enter the new mapping values. The values will go into the first available (empty) table location. Here is an example: Modbus addr from (000): 1 Modbus addr to (000): 1 Slave IP address (192) .(168) . (001) .(020) Deleting a Map Entry Press D to delete an entry from the mapping table. The Bridge will prompt you to enter the number of the table location you want to delete. Here is an example: Delete entry number: 1
60
Changing an Existing Map Entry If you want to change an existing entry in the mapping table, you must first delete that entry and then add your changes as a new entry.
l Press D to delete the current entry from the table. l Press A to add a new entry into the table, supplying the values for the new entry.
Exit the Mapping Menu Press E to exit Mapping Table menu and return to the initial Configuration Menu. The Configuration Menu will display the new mapping. Note that when you return to the Configuration Menu, you must select Save on that menu to save the address mapping in the Bridges memory. Selecting Save will also restart the Bridge. See Using the Configuration Menu, p. 48 for a description of the Configuration Menu.

Using Concept or ProWORX

Overview To support Modbus/TCP to the Bridge, you need Concept version 2.1 or higher, ProWORX NxT, version 2.2 or higher, or ProWORX 32, version 1.0 or higher. In Concept, set the communications paramaters as follows:
l Protocol: TCP/IP l Dest_Port: 502 l Dest_Index: Modbus Slave Address l TCP/IP Address: as required
In ProWORX NxT, go to the Communication Setup screen. In the Interface section of the window, select Ethernet Gateway. Under Ethernet Gateway type, choose CEV 300 10, IP Addresss: xxxx, Timeout = 00x. In ProWORX 32, go to Communications Setup and select the Gateway tab. Under Resource Type, select Gateway Type and NR&D MEB under Setting. Note: The Bridge contains an internal Slave Address configuration option which might affect the delivery of messages to a Slave device at its serial port. With this option, the Bridge may be configured internally to use the Dest_Index address exactly as received in the message, or it may be configured to steer all messages to a fixed Slave address, ignoring the Dest_Index address.
Modbus Slave Address
This is an additional explanation of how the Bridge uses the Modbus Slave address. In a Modbus TCP message sent to the Bridge, the Slave address (defined in Concept as the Dest_Index address, or in ProWORX NxT as Device # in Select Modbus Device window, or in ProWORX 32 under Index in the Communications Setup window) is stored in the Unit_ID field of the message. This field is used to address a unique Slave device on a Modbus network which may contain multiple Slave devices. The Bridges internal configuration contains a Slave Address parameter which can be set to override the Unit_ID address received in the message. If the parameter is set to 0 (zero), the message will be delivered to the Slave device whose address is defined in the Unit_ID field. If the parameter is set to a nonzero value (range 1 ... 255), the message will be delivered to the Slave device at that numerical address, regardless of the contents of the Unit_ID field.
64
Panel Software
For example: If you are accessing the device at Modbus Slave address 34, you must
l set the Dest_Index field to 34 l ensure the Bridges internal Slave Address parameter is configured to 0 (zero)

Using Other Software

Intellution FIX MMI The Bridge allows Windows workstations with Intellution FIX software to access Modbus devices by TCP/IP over Ethernet. The current version of this software does not support the Modbus/TCP Unit_ID field.Therefore if you have configured the Bridge for a Slave device at its serial port, you must configure the Bridges internal Slave Address parameter for that device. This restricts the Bridge to a single Slave device at its port. Refer to the software products documentation for further information. WinTech Modscan WinTech supplies ModScan32 software, which can select and poll coils and registers from various Modbus RTU/ASCII and Modbus TCP devices. This software supports the Modbus/TCP Unit_ID field, so RS485 multipledrop configurations are supported through the Bridge. Refer to the software products documentation for further information. Wonderware MMI The Bridge allows Windows workstations with Wonderware software to access Modbus devices by TCP/IP over Ethernet. You will need the Wonderware Modicon Ethernet I/O Server software, at version 7.0.0.15 or higher. The current version of this software does not support the Modbus/TCP Unit_ID field. Therefore if you have configured the Bridge for a Slave device at its serial port, you must configure the Bridges internal Slave Address parameter for that device. This restricts the Bridge to a single Slave device at its port. Refer to the software products documentation for further information.

Backbone Bandwidth on Demand The main cable in a network. Feature that allows a remote access device to initiate a second connection to a particular site to increase the amount of data transferred to that site to increase the desired threshold. The network manager configuring the remote access server will specify a number of bits or a percentage of connection bandwidth threshold which will trigger the secondary connection. Multilink PPP is an emerging standard to allow this feature to be interoperable, but right now the only way to ensure correct operation is to use devices on both end from the same vendor. A LAN that uses a single carrier frequency over a single channel. Ethernet, Token Ring and Arcnet LANs use baseband transmission. Unit of signal frequency in signals per second. Not synonymous with bits per second since signals can represent more than one bit. Baud equals bits per second only when the signal represents a single bit.
