Modbus TCP Module Setting

  • WISE-580x-MTCP
  • WISE-284x, 52xx, 224x

Through Modbus TCP protocol, WISE-580x-MTCP is able to read back 4 types of Modbus data (Coil Output, Discrete Input, Input Register and Holding Register) from the Modbus TCP Slave modules that are connected to the WISE-580x-MTCP, and write data on Coil Output or Holding Register from the WISE-580x-MTCP to these Modbus TCP Slave modules. WISE-580x-MTCP can use the Modbus data along with the built-in IF-THEN-ELSE logic engine to execute actions under specific conditions. The SCADA system also can retrieve the Modbus data from the WISE-580x-MTCP. The Modbus TCP Slave modules setting page is shown as follow:

Follow the following steps to complete setting:

  1. Go to “Basic Setting” ⇒ “Modbus TCP Module Setting Page” to open the Modbus TCP Module Setting Page of WISE-580x-MTCP.

  2. In the “Module Type” field, there are three options for selection to define the module type of the Modbus TCP module which connect to WISE-580x-MTCP.

    3. If the module which connect to WISE-580x-MTCP is WISE-71xx series or ET-7000/PET-7000 series, you can select “WISE-71xx Series” or “ET-7000/ PET-7000 Series” in the field first, then select the exact model name from the following dropdown list. After complete the setting, system will automatically produce the Modbus Address Table for the module you select based on its I/O channel configuration. If the module which is not in the automatic support list of WISE-580x-MTCP, please select “Customize” in the “Module Type” field, then define the Modbus Address Table for the I/O channel configuration of the module later.

  3. In the “Name” field, input the Modbus TCP Slave module name.

  4. In the “IP Address” field, input the IP of the Modbus TCP Slave module.

  5. In the “Port” field, input the Modbus TCP Slave port of the Modbus TCP module.

  6. In the “NetID” field, input the NetID of the Modbus TCP Slave module.

  7. In the “Scan Rate” field, input the time interval in seconds. The WISE-580x-MTCP will update the Modbus data from the Modbus TCP Slave module every specified time-interval. The default value is 5 seconds.

  8. In the “Polling Timeout” field, input the time interval in millisecond seconds. It is the time interval for WISE-580x-MTCP to send Modbus TCP command to the Modbus TCP Slave module and wait for the response. The default value is 500 milliseconds.

  9. In the “Connection Timeout” field, input the time interval in seconds. It is the time interval for WISE-580x-MTCP to connect to the Modbus TCP Slave module and wait for the response. The default value is 3 seconds.

  10. In the “Disconnection Retry Interval” field, input the time interval in seconds. It is the time interval to re-connect with the Modbus TCP Slave module when it is unconnected. The default value is 5 seconds.

  11. After all settings are completed, click “Add” to add the Modbus TCP Slave module to the module list. According to the Index being assigned, the I/O channel data of the Modbus TCP module will be saved in the corresponding WISE-580x-MTCP Modbus address table, for more detailed information, please refer to the following table.

  12. Select the Modbus TCP Slave module on the module list and click “Setting” button to get in to the Coil Output, Discrete Input, Input Register and Holding Register setting page to edit settings. For the detail, please refer to the next topic "Modbus TCP Slave Attribute Setting". To remove the Modbus TCP Slave module, select the module you would like to remove and click “Remove” button. To relocate Modbus TCP Slave to other index, click “Move Up” or “Move Down” to move the Modbus TCP Slave module to the desired index.

    13. Please note:

    • If the setting of “Module Type” is “WISE-71xx Series”, then system will automatically produce the Modbus Address Table for the I/O channel configuration of the module you select in the “model name” dropdown list. You do not need to build the Modbus Address Table by yourselves.

    • If the setting of “Module Type” is “ET-7000/PET-7000 Series”, then system will automatically produce the Modbus Address Table for the I/O channel configuration of the module you select in the “model name” dropdown list. Please remember to go to the “Modbus TCP Module Attribute Setting Page” of the module to check and modify the setting of HEX max/min values and Real max/min values to be the same as the setting of the physical module.

      • About the configuration and setting document of ET-7000/PET-7000 series modules, please visit [Here] to download the "pet_et_7000_register_table_v1.0.x.pdf" document for reference.

HEX Conversion

If the Modbus TCP Slave device provides HEX data only, WISE-580x-MTCP, WISE-52xx and WISE-224x allows to transfer the HEX value to decimal value in floating point so that the value can be used in IF-THEN-ELSE rules edition. The value retrieved from WISE-580x-MTCP, WISE-52xx and WISE-224x via Modbus TCP/RTU can be transferred to more-easy-to-read decimal value in floating point automatically as well (the floating point will take two local addresses).

When you select HEX as the data type, you will be required to input the HEX data range and the corresponding decimal data range. WISE-580x-MTCP, WISE-52xx and WISE-224x will transfer the HEX to decimal value automatically when performing read/write operations.

Modbus TCP Master Application Example

Scenario Example Document

In this application for disaster prevention and access control of the factory environment, WISE-5801-MTCP is connected to ET-7018Z and PET-7060. The ET-7018Z is used to detect the temperature for various devices in the factory in real time; WISE-5801-MTCP can communicate with ET-7018Z via Modbus TCP protocol to receive the real time temperature data for data logger operation, and then send back the real time temperature data and historical data logger files to the control center. By using the WISE-5801-MTCP, the system is able to initiate immediately actions in response to emergencies. For example, when the temperature reaches the pre-set critical temperature threshold, based on the temperature it gets from ET-7018Z, the WISE-5801-MTCP will take actions such as stop the devices automatically, turn on the temperature reduction devices, or send SMS message to notify the related personals. The operator can also send the SMS command to WISE-5801-MTCP to take appropriate actions to the factory devices immediately. These functions help to quickly response to emergencies and enable more efficient real time monitoring of the overall factory operation.

The PET-7060 is used to connect to the access control system and report its status. WISE-5801-MTCP communicates with PET-7060 via Modbus TCP protocol. With the built-in Schedule function of WISE-5801-MTCP, the user can divide the factory operation time into Working time (8:00-18:00) and non-Working time (18:00-08:00 and holidays). If someone breaks in the factory in non-Working time without the access authority, the WISE-5801-MTCP will send SMS message to notify the related personals and the alarm operation will be enabled. During the lunch break (12:00-13:00); users could also set up the Schedule to ring a bell for notification. WISE-5801-MTCP also provides event trigger data log operation. The door status of the access control from PET-7060 can be used as a trigger source to trigger the data log operation. When the file recording operation is completed, WISE-5801-MTCP will also automatically send back the data logger file to the control center for further analysis.
