MODBUS IP address list in Unistream using unilogic 1.16

[Joesteva]

We have an issue regarding the Modbus TCP/IP communication with a third party HMI(Weintek), the read only bits can be read but I can't seem to write data on the PLC, how can I match the address that unilogic uses to the Modbus Standard( 0x 1, 0x 2, 1X 1 and so on) does this address matches exactly to that standard, say, If we configure a Coil to address 1 read only does this translate to 0X 1?, and if a second coil is configured as address 2 read/write does this means 1X 1? or 1x 2?. As I stated before, Our master HMI can read the coils configured as read only, we can even read and write registers, but we haven't been able to write to the PLC.

A 1X is an input in Modbus land.  If you're working with MBs you have to stay with 0x addresses.

List some the addresses you're trying to write.

When I create an HMI Slave in unilogic the unistream doesn't generates a Modbus address relation for the tags we are creating, it just shows address 1 or address 2, what I want to know, is the relationship between these and the 0x from Modbus, my issue is that with my  HMI I can read registers and read 1x coils from my master HMI, but when I try to write (I programmed a button on my hmi to start a motor) the signal never arrives to the PLC. 

List of Master HMI tags:

• 1X 1: XS-MR102
• 1X 2: XS-MR101
• 1X 3:PRUEBA OUT
• 0X 1: START BANDA
• 0X 2: STOP BANDA
• 0X 3: CERO
• 0X 4: PRUEBA IN

List of Slave Unistream tags:

• COIL 1 XS-MR102 ADDRESS 0 READ ONLY (XS-MR102)
• COIL 2 XS-MR101 ADDRESS 1 READ ONLY (XS-MR101)
• COIL 3 START BANDA ADDRESS 2 READ/WRITE (START BANDA)
• COIL 4  STOP BANDA ADDRESS 3 READ/WRITE (STOP BANDA)
• COIL 5 HS-BOT ADDRESS 4 READ/WRITE (CERO)
• COIL 6 PRUEBA HMI ADDRESS 5 READ/WRITE (PRUEBA IN)
• COIL 7 HMI SALIDA ADDRESS 6 READ ONLY (PRUEBA OUT)

I contacted support and Guy Sela helped us, he explained this:

The addresses should be like the first list.

Each coil needs to have its own address and promotions.

Adress  Nombre              Tipo                         Dirección Modbus

0            XS-MR102           READ ONLY         1X-1

1             XS-MR101           READ ONLY         1X-2

2             START                   READWRITE       0X-3

3             STOP                     READWRITE       0X-4

4             CERO                    READWRITE       0X-5

5             PRUEBAIN          READWRITE       0X-6

6             PRUEBAOUT      READ                    1X-7

We were confused with the addressing of the directions, it seems that the read only and the readwrite are stored on the same byte regardless of the type.

I hope somebody else find this helpfull too.
