M2500 MODBUS, General comments

Revision: 02-11-2010

Configuration
The modbus device address, baud rate and parity must be configured on the device via the configuration menu (Alternatively via the PC configuration tool).
Default configuration is: Device address = 1, baudrate = 19200, Parity = Even. Number of start bits is fixed to 8. Number of stop bits depends on parity; Even + Odd -> 1 stop bit, None ->2 stop bits).
Register addressing
This document defines register addresses in accordance with the Modbus Addressing model: "In a MODBUS PDU each data is addressed from 0" (Please refer to section 4.4 in ref [2]).
Example
To read LEDs 1-5 / registers address 101 - 105 from the device on address 1, the following modbus frame can be sent:
0x01 0x03 0x00 0x65 0x00 0x05 0x95 0xD6
Which can be broken down to :
Slave address: 0x01
Function code: 0x03 (Read holding registers)
Start register: 0x0065 / 101
Number of registers: 0x0005
CRC: 0x95 0xD6
Depending on the state of the LEDs, the following frame could be received in response:
0x01 0x03 0x0A 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x19 0x76
Which can be broken down to:
Slave address: 0x01
Function code: 0x03 (Read holding registers)
Number of bytes: 0x0A
Status of LED1-LED 5: 0x0000 0x0000 0x0001 0x0000 0x0000
CRC: 0x19 0x76
Network termination
Make sure your 485 network is properly terminated by 120 ohm resistors at either end of the network. It is possible to enable a termination resistor on M2500, via the Switch DIP1 on the back of the device, if necessary.
Bias resistors
In some installations it may be necessary to add a bias-resistor-network once along the length of the 485 network, depending on the equipment used on the 485 network. Some equipment has the possibility to enable such a network
either via SW configuration or physical switches. Please refer to ref. [1] section 3.4.6 for further details.
* The Selco M2500 does not require a bias resistor network (Other devices on the bus MAY require it, though) .
* The Selco M2500 implements a MODBUS slave, As such, it does not provide means for establishing a bias resistor network (No isloated 5V supply is made available).
Pin conncetions (DB9, female connector.)
Pin 1: RS485 Com
Pin 4+8: RS485 A (Pins internally shorted)
Pin 5+9: RS485 B (Pins internally shorted)
