The MODBUS Master
When the VS PLC’s communication port has been set to the application type of the “MODBUS Master”, it cooperates
with the MBUS instruction and a MODBUS communication table to operate communication procedures. This Master
links and communicates with MODBUS Slaves (such as inverters, temperature controllers, power meters, etc.)
through the “MODBUS protocol”.

The CPU Link
The VS Series PLC uses this application to share instant data between VS PLCs to serve the purpose of distributed
control.
When the communication ports of VS PLCs have been set the application for to share instant data between PLCs,
select one of the PLC to cooperate with the CPUL instruction and CPUL communication table, through its particular
protocol to share instant data.
The Non Protocol communication
When the VS PLC’s communication port has been set to the application type of the “Non Protocol”, the PLC does not
execute any specied communication protocol. All communication procedures are operated by the PLC's user
program. Then the RS instruction is used to receive and send out data in order to complete the communication
operation. This application type is often applied to communicate between PLC and peripheral, such as temperature
controllers, inverters and barcode readers.
