roghenr Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Good afternoon. I tried to use modbus Sim,Docklight for addressing tests but without success. I saw in a post that to use modbus simulator I need to turn my vision 130 into slave. I need some guidance. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Flex727 Posted July 14, 2022 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Does your simulator have the option to be either master or slave? Which type of MODBUS are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Franco Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 You need add this piece of program to PLC (in case of Modbus TCP): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Flex727 Posted July 14, 2022 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 @Gabriel Franco, I always just hang my MODBUS IP SCAN_EX FB directly on the left rail. Why do you include SB 2? Are you expecting the first PLC scan to cause a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Franco Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Well, no. Just a programming way of one of my mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using modbus serial rtu. I have modbus that simulates slave, but it doesn't work. I wanted to use Vision 130 as a master in tests with VDF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Por que você inclui SB 2? Você está esperando que a primeira varredura do PLC cause um problema? 13 hours ago, Flex727 said: 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriel Franco Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 PLC as Modbus RTU master (in this code, I´m using PLC port 2 as RS485, your case may be different): Reading registers from the slave. You must use a N.C contact of FunctionInProgress in series with your own reading conditions: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Ausman Posted July 15, 2022 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Gabriel, this is only minor, but I'm intrigued why you activate SB168 in the ladder itself, rather than simply setting it on powerup? cheers, Aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVP 2023 Ausman Posted July 16, 2022 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 Too true, missed that. As I don't change IPs at any time, I was wondering whether it needed to be "redone" after a change, and maybe there were address changes happening elsewhere in the program which made it necessary. Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set all requiered power up values in ladder rather than Visilogic option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
