S7-1200 Programmable controller

Example: Modbus RTU master program

Example: Modbus RTU master program

Modbus_Comm_Load is initialized during start-up by using the first scan flag. Execution of
Modbus_Comm_Load in this manner should only be done when the serial port configuration
will not change at runtime.
Network 1: Configure/initialize the RS485 module communications port only once during the
first scan.

One Modbus_Master instruction is used in the program cycle OB to communicate with a single
slave. Additional Modbus_Master instructions can be used in the program cycle OB to
communicate with other slaves, or one Modbus_Master FB could be re-used to communicate
with additional slaves.
Network 2: Read 100 words of holding register data from location 400001 on slave #2 to
memory location MW500-MW698.

Network 3: Move the first 3 words of the holding register data that has been read to some other
location, and set a DONE history bit. This network also sets an ERROR history bit and saves
the STATUS word to another location in the event of an error.

Network 4: Write 64 bits of data from MW600-MW607 to output bit locations 00017 to 00081
on slave #2.

Network 5: Set a DONE history bit when the write is complete. If an error occurs, the program
sets an ERROR history bit and saves the STATUS code.
