ModbusTCPclient7.1.2

GETTING STARTED WITH SIMPLY MODBUS TCP CLIENT 7.1.2 ***** Context help is also available by pressing Ctrl-H while in the program ***** ***** Ctrl-H will open a window where information is displayed about items as the cursor hovers over them ***** See the On-line Manual ........ http:/www.simplymodbus.ca/TCPmanual.htm The downloaded zip file, SimplyModbusTCPclient7.1.2Install.zip, contains: setup.exe setup.ini data.cab install.msi InstMsi.exe InstMsiW.exe Read me TCP Client 7.1.2.txt - this file Read me for Windows 7.txt - some additional notes about running on Windows 7 1) Unzip the files into the same folder. 2) Run setup.exe to start the Simply Modbus TCP Client 7.1.2 Installation Wizard Follow the prompts. The program will start automatically when the installation is complete. Running setup.exe a second time will uninstall the program. 3) If using Windows 7, Activate Windows XP compatibility as shown in the file Read me for Windows 7.txt 4) From the Start menu, select Programs > Simply Modbus > Simply Modbus TCP Client 7.1.2 to start the program. 5) Enter the IP Connection information: eg. IP Address = eg. 192.168.1.10 (do not use leading zeroes 192.168.001.010) Port settings = 502 6) Press CONNECT to establish an IP connection with the Server(Modbus Slave). When successful, CONNECTED will be shown and the SEND and send continously controls will be enabled. 7) Enter the command information: Mode = TCP or RTU over TCP Slave ID = 1 First Register = 40001 # Registers = 10 The Command to be sent will appear in "Request". 8) Press the SEND button. All bytes received will appear in "Response". The response time is shown in 0.1 increments. The response progress bar fills as the the time approached the "fail in" time entered. If no answer appears within the "fail in" time, increase the "fail in" time and press SEND again. 9) When a response is received, set the format of the received data. check or uncheck 'High byte/Low byte' check or uncheck 'Low word/High word' Data Types: 32bit Float - 32bit IEEE Floating Point 32bit UINT - Unsigned Integer (0 to 4.3 billion) 32bit INT - Signed Integer (-2.1 to 2.1 billion) 16bit UINT - Unsigned Integer (0 to 65535) 16bit INT - Signed Integer (-32768 to 32767) 2chString - 16bit - 2 character STRING 4chString - 32bit - 4 character STRING 6chString - 48bit - 6 character STRING 8chString - 64bit - 8 character STRING 12chString - 96bit -12 character STRING 16chString - 128bit-16 character STRING 8 boolean - 8 bit - 8 status ON/OFF --- Use Defaults --- The automatic settings are shown inside the Use Defaults box. These settings are automatically set to these defaults whenever "First Register" is changed.

The "send continuously" checkbox may be turned on. This will have the effect of repeatedly pressing the SEND button. Increase "pause between sends" in seconds to slow down the rate the requests are sent. --- Saved Configurations --- The settings can be saved to text files with the SAVE CFG button and resored with the RESTORE CFG button. The format of the file is csv (comma separated values). 1st column contains the setting descriptions, 2nd column contains the setting values: IP Address Port mode 0=TCP, 1=RTU over TCP Slave ID First register No. of Registers or No.of Events (for Events) or Record No.(for History) Record size (for History) byte order 0=Low byte first, 1=High byte first word order 0=Low word first, 1=High word first autoset 1=Auto set advanced settings when 1st Register changes Function Code register size 0=1 bit coils, 1=16bit registers, 2=32bit registers offset Events 0=not Events, 1= Event Poll History 0=not History, 1= History Poll 2 byte addr 0=1byte addr, 1=2byte addr fail in seconds until poll failure if expected bytes are not received pause seconds from the response to the next request when send continuously is checked. 3rd column contains data formats. 0=32bit Float - 32bit IEEE Floating Point 1=32bit UINT - Unsigned Integer (0 to 4.3 billion) 2=32bit INT - Signed Integer (-2.1 to 2.1 billion) 3=16bit UINT - Unsigned Integer (0 to 65535) 4=16bit INT - Signed Integer (-32768 to 32767) 5=2chString - 16bit - 2 character STRING 6=4chString - 32bit - 4 character STRING 7=6chString - 48bit - 6 character STRING 8=8chString - 64bit - 8 character STRING 9=12chString - 96bit -12 character STRING 10=16chString - 128bit-16 character STRING 11=8 boolean - 8 bit - 8 status ON/OFF 4th column contains data notes. 5th column contains data register numbers. 6th column contains data values. 7th column contains the latest response received. -------------- Visit www.simplymodbus.ca for updates and detailed information on how the modbus protocol works.
