5. Interoperability of MODBUS Driver with
AsComm Program
The MODBUS driver ver. 1.9.1 or higher is designed for the interoperability with AsComm
program.
The MODBUS driver parameterization is described in the documentation of the asix system
drivers: CommunicationDrivers.hlp.
If the channel declaration is as follows:
Channel name: logical_name
Channel driver: Modbus
Device identifier: 4
Port: COM3
the name of client will be ‘MODBUS:3’
To establish the communication with AsComm it is important to set up the Switched line
parameter:
Architect > Fields and Computers > Current data module > declared channel parameters >
AsComm server client tab
If the modem is connected to an other port than COMn, then you should give the number of
this port by means of the parameter Define modem by port > port or specify the modem
name by means of the parameter Define modem by name. You should also give a telephone
number and define other parameters required. If MODBUS driver has to communicate with
many controllers by means of the same modem, then one should define suitable number of
channels assuming the parameter port as a virtual transmission channel and specify for each
channel an appropriate telephone number.
EXAMPLE
Channel declarations:
Name: Chan1
Driver: MODBUS
Device identifier: 1
Port: COM11
Transmission speed in bauds: 9600
Number of bits In a character: 8
Parity checking: none
Number of stop bits: 1
Maximal number of inputs/outputs: 16
Maximal number o registers: 16
Declaration of ‘Chan1’ as AsComm server client:
Switched line / Use a modem for connection initialization – the parameter set up
Define modem by name: US Robotics
Phone number: 11111111
