STHM-MBIO-H7.png

5.1 Modbus communication

image-1591342596596.png

02 x RS485/ModbusRTU-Slave

Protocol: Modbus RTU

Address: 1 - 247, 0 is the Broadcast address

Baud rate: 9600 , 19200

Parity: none, odd, even

Default configuration: Address: 1, Baudrate slave 1: 9600, Parity slave 1: none, Baudrate slave 2: 9600, Parity slave 2: none

Status indicator LED:

  • Led on: modbus communication OK
  • Led blinking: received data but modbus communication incorrect, due to wrong Modbus configuration: address, baudrate
  • Led off: STHM-MBIO received no data, check the connection
Memmap resgisters

READ uses function 03, WRITE uses function 16

Relay Channel Relay Register Set Relay Register Description
Channel 1

 relay default 1 2 Relay channel 1 remembers the previous Close / Open Contact status
0/1 Relay channel 1 status does not remember the Close / Open Contact
Channel 2

 relay default 2 2 Relay channel 2 remembers the previous Close / Open Contact status
0/1 Relay channel 2 status does not remember the Close / Open Contact
Channel 3

 relay default 3 2 Relay channel 3 remembers the previous Close / Open Contact status
0/1 Relay channel 3 status does not remember the Close / Open Contact
Channel 4

0 Open Contact
1 Close Contact
2 Remember the previous state (Latch mode)

5.6 Pulse Output

image-1591341459629.png

01 isolated open-collector channel

Opto-coupler: Source current Imax = 10mA, Vceo = 80V

Functions: On / Off, pulse generator, PWM

5.6.1 On/Off Function

Set the Open-collector register in the Modbus Memory Map table:

  • Set Open-collector register: 1 => Pulse Output ON
  • Set Open-collector register: 0 => Pulse Output OFF

5.6.2 Pulse generator

Pulse output transmits a maximum of 65535 pulses, with Fmax 2.5kHz

Configure the following registers in the Modbus Memory Map table:

  • Set register "open collector: pulse number": 0-65535 => Pulse Number = 65535: broadcast 65535 pulses
  • Set register "open collector: time cycle": (0-65535) x0.1ms => Time Cycle = 4: Fmax 2.5kHz
  • Set register "open collector: time on": (0-65535) x0.1ms => Time On: is the logic time 1 of the pulse
  • Set the register "open collector ctrl" = 3 => configure the Pulse Output to generate a pulse and start to pulse, generate a sufficient number of pulses in the "open collector: pulse number" register => stop pulse generator and register " open collector ctrl ”= 0

5.6.3 PWM

Max frequency 2.5kHz

Configure the following registers in the Modbus Memory Map table:

  • Set the register "open collector ctrl" = 2 => configure Pulse Output PWM function
  • Set register "open collector: time cycle": (0-65535) x0.1ms => Time Cycle = 4: Fmax 2.5kHz
  • Set register "open collector: time on": (0-65535) x0.1ms => Time On: is the logic time 1 of the pulse

No. Phenomena Reason Solutions
1 Modbus failed to communicate

Modbus LED Status:

  • LED is off: received no data
  • LED is blinking: the Modbus configuration is not the correct 
  • Check the connection
  • Check the Modbus configuration: Address, Baud Rate, Parity
2 Timeout Modbus Noise appears on the line Configure Baudrate 9600 and use a twisted pair cable with anti-jamming protection
