modasciiOpen (Function)

Top  Previous  Next

Architecture:

X32 / NX32 / NX32L

Device support:

All devices with RS485

Firmware version:

4.00 / 1.00.00


This function will open a connection to a MODBUS ASCII network.

 

The device supports both master mode, where the device controls the MODBUS network and polls the slaves, and slave mode, where the device waits for commands from the master.

 

Both RS232 and RS485 is supported.

 

Input:

mode : SINT (0/1)

0

- The RTCU device is master on the MODBUS network.

1

- The RTCU device is a slave on the MODBUS network.

 

unit_id : INT (1..247) (default 1)

The address of the RTCU device on the MODBUS network.

Note: this parameter is ignored if mode is set to master.

 

port : SINT (0..2) (default 0)

Selects which serial port to use (see serial port enumeration).

 

baud : DINT (9600,19200,38400,57600,115200) (default 115200)

Selects the desired baud rate.

 

bit : SINT (7/8) (default 8)

Selects the number of bits per character.

Note: 7 bit without parity bit only works on LX devices.

 

parity : SINT (0..2) (default 1)

Selects the desired parity, 0 is none, 1 is even, and 2 is odd.

 

stopbit : SINT (1/2) (default 1)

Selects number of stop bits.
 
Note: Only 1 stop bit is supported on the RS485 ports on NX devices.

 

rs485 : BOOL (default ON)

ON

- Use RS485 for communication.

OFF

- Use RS232 for communication.

 

Returns: INT

ID of the MODBUS connection (1..2).

-5

- Illegal serial port.

-6

- All MODBUS connections are in use.

-7

- Illegal serial port parameters.
