12. Set up the Application TCP Connection Configuration settings:
• If no application socket interface is required, leave all application socket interface settings at defaults
and the application Enable option is not selected.
• If an application socket interface is required, see Application Socket Configuration on Page 67.
13. Scroll to the bottom of the page, verify that Reset Port and Save in Flash are selected, and click Submit.
Modbus Addressing
The receive data addresses used for polling are as follows:
Received Message Format
If all is set up correctly, the data packets will be written into the PLC memory space starting at the specified
memory location. The first word received is the sequence number. This is incremented with each new data
packet. The next word is the length, which indicates the number of data bytes received. The rest is data.
The format of received socket data sent to the PLC:
General requirements:
• The memory area must be defined in 16 bit words and large enough to handle the largest serial packet
plus two words for the produced sequence number and data length parameters.
• The Maximum Rx Data Packet Size must be set large enough to accept the largest possible packet.
For large received data packets over 246 bytes (This may be less for your PLC):
- The Rx (To PLC) Transfer Mode must be set to Master (Write to PLC).
- The data will automatically be placed in continuous memory.
- All data will have been transferred to the PLC when the sequence number is updated.
