SveinT Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Trying to communicate with Victron Colour Control with Modbus TCP and a V700 PLC. The V700 is a Master, and the Victron is slave. Tried the communication with a Modbus Poll program now, and I get to communicate with the Victron. Seems like it is some spesial things with the V700 model. But now I tried so many different setups, that I'm lost :-) Anyone have som god examples for communicating with a Modbus slave on port 502?

MVP 2022 Flex727 Posted March 5, 2018 MVP 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Have you checked out the example projects that come with your VisiLogic installation? Look for the file called "V700_Modbus_TCP_master.vlp". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swb311 Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 I have also noticed that the SB's associated with Ethernet state (not relevant for V700). Have these status registers moved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2014 Simon Posted March 5, 2018 MVP 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 The status information is accessed using a ladder function in the V700. From the help file: Quote Certain Ethernet system operands are not relevant for the V700. The function of some system operands are replaced by a communication function located under the COM>TCP/IP menu, called V700: Read Socket Status. The V700: Read Socket Status function checks the status of the selected socket according to the specified Socket Status requested, then saves the status indication into the linked operand. I found this topic by searching "v700 ethernet" in the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2022 Flex727 Posted March 6, 2018 MVP 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 @swb311, the V700 PLC has a different ethernet module than the other Vision PLCs. Because of that, some of the system operands are not valid. Instead, there are ladder functions available to replace those system operands. As Simon mentioned, this all very well documented in the Help file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SveinT Posted March 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Thanks, have changed the ladder according to som of the examples, and are now communicating with Modbus TCP to an Victron Colour Control :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
