Configuration Guide (AADvance Controller)
Configure a Modbus Master Object for Modbus TCP
Note: You have to create a Modbus Master object before you can carry out this task.
You have to configure the communications and control settings for a Modbus Master
object for Modbus TCP when you want to use the Modbus TCP protocol. Do the
following:
1) Select the Equipment tab on the Project tree view and then select the Modbus
master object you want to configure.

The editor for the Modbus master object opens.
2) Select the General tab.
3) Enter a suitable name for the Modbus master object, or accept the default. You
can use any combination of alphanumeric characters and punctuation, including
spaces.
4) Set the Protocol to TCP and click Apply.

The editor has two tabs; the tabs are named General and Statistics.

The AADvance Workbench sets the Port Type to Ethernet.

The AADvance Workbench sets the Port Id to Either (this means either
physical RJ45 socket).
5) Set the Timeout (in milliseconds) to suit the performance of the network and of
the slave, or accept the default value.
Note: We recommend the Timeout be set to a value less than 3,000ms.
6) If you intend to use the control variable, set the Control Variable Address to
the Modbus address of the holding register; otherwise accept the default 0 to
disable.
7) Similarly set the Status Variable Address.
8) Click Apply.
