Configuring a Modbus Message

This section describes how to configure a local message using the
Modbus communication commands. Since configuration options are
dependent on which channel is selected, the programming software
has been designed to only show the options available for the selected
channel.

Before configuring the MSG instruction, open the Channel
Configuration screen as shown below and set the Driver to Modbus
RTU Master. For more information on Channel Configuration, see
Modbus RTU Master Configuration in appendix E.

Rung 0 shows a standard RSLogix 500 message (MSG) instruction
preceded by conditional logic.

1. Access the message setup screen by double-clicking Setup Screen.

2. The RSLogix 500 Message Setup Screen appears. Use this screen to

setup or monitor message parameters for ‘This Controller’, ‘Target
Device’, and ‘Control Bits’. Descriptions of each of these sections
follow.
