9.4 Config File Data
This section applies to both master and slave links. It defines the relationship between
Modbus addresses and FloBoss
S600+ database points.
The slave has a single map section, while the master can have up to 10 slave sections,
each of which is preceded by the [SLAVE ADDRESS N] command. The map is sub-divided
into coil, input, and register sections, each of which forms independent blocks of data.
Within each of these blocks there may be any number of further sub-blocks.
The map section has these major blocks:
[SECTION COILS]
Indicate the start of the Modbus coil data.
[SECTION INPUTS]
Indicate the start of the Modbus input data.
[SECTION REGISTERS]
Indicate the start of the Modbus register data.
Note
The Gould/Modicon Modbus protocol specifies the address range for each function code.
However, the FloBoss S600+ Modbus configuration is flexible in that it does not have to
adhere to these address ranges. Therefore, the BASE ADDRESS specified is the actual
address that is used (that is, the Gould/Modicon offset is not added to the base address).
9.5 Config File Data Coil
The coil section can contain any number of blocks of coil data. Each block starts with the
command:
[BASE ADDRESS <NNNN>]
This command determines the base address of the block of data. <NNNN> must be
in the range 0–65535. The base address command is followed by a list of data points
each of which occupies successive coil addresses.
9.6 Config File Data Input
The input section can contain any number of blocks of input data. Each block starts with
the command:
[BASE ADDRESS <NNNN>]
