1. MODBUS Protocol The Modbus protocol defines the format and method of communications between a “master” which controls the system and one or more “slaves” which respond to commands sent by the master. The Modbus defines how the transmitter and reciever are identified, how messages are exchanged and how errors are detected.
2.1 Characters Format The above mentioned packets referred to the transmitted character from the PC or Supervisor.In this case this character cannot be modified because they are set by Athena Controls. The default value is 8 , N, 1. It means 8 data bits without parity check and with 1 stop bit. 2.2 The Address As mentioned above, MODBUS transactions always involve the master, which handles the line, and one slave at a time (except in the case of broadcast messages).
In reality, as the device that converts the data to be sent into serial form (UART) sends the least significant bit (LSB) first instead of the MSB as it should do for the CRC calculation, the CRC is carried out by inverting the polynomial. In addition, as the MSB of the polynomial only affects the quotient and not the remainder, the remainder is eliminated, thus giving 1010000000000001.

Example: Request for slave 17 to read bits 0004 to 0015. FUNC DATA start Addr HI DATA start Addr LO DATA bit # HI DATA bit # LO CRC ADDR CRC HI LO 11 01 00 03 00 0C CE 9F Answer In addition to the address of the slave and the function code (01), the message comprises a character containing the number of data bytes and the characters containing data.
3.5 Force Single Coil (05) This function is used for forcing the status of a single binary variable ON or OFF. Broadcast mode is allowed. Question In addition to the address of the slave and the function code (05), the message contains the address of the variable to be forced in two bytes and two characters of which the first is set to FFh (255) to force it ON and 00h to force it OFF, while the second is always set to zero.
3.7 Read Status (07) This function is used for reading the status of eight predetermined bits with a compacted message. Broadcast mode is not allowed. Question The message consists only of the slave address and the function code (07). Example: Request of the status of slave 25. ADDR FUNC CRC HI CRC LO 19 07 4B E2 Answer In addition to the address of the slave and the function code (07), the message comprises a character containing the status bits. Example: Answer to the request indicated above.
3.9 Preset Multiple Registers (16) This function is used for setting the value of a consecutive block of 16-bit registers. Broadcast mode is allowed. Question. In addition to the address of the slave and the function code (16), the message contains the starting address, the number of words to be written, the number of bytes that contain data and the data characters. Address numbering starts from zero (word1 = 0) for MODBUS, from one (word1 = 1) for JBUS.
Example: Error code in response to the request indicated above. ADDR 0A FUNC 81 DATA Except. Code CRC CRC HI LO 02 B0 53 4.1 Error Codes Although the MODBUS standard uses 8 error codes, the ATHENA CONTROLS implementation of the protocol uses only four: Code 01 Name ILLEGAL FUNCTION 02 ILLEGAL DATA ADDRESS ILLEGAL DATA VALUE 03 07 NAK - NEGATIVE ACKNOWLEDGMENT Meaning The function code received does not correspond to a function allowed on the addressed slave.
requested function. To evaluate the lapse in time for different functions reference can be made to the following expressions: TL ≅ 3Tc + Ts Request: where: TL = Elapsed time. TC = Time of a character. TS = Variable time from 0 to 10mS which is dependent on the internal processes. TL ≅ 3Tc + Ts + Tw Assignment: where: TL = Elapsed time. TC = Time of a character. TS = Variable time from 0 to 10mS which is dependent on the internal processes.
5.6 Assignment of the parameters and E2PROM All the parameters modified from keyboard or assigned through serial communication, come written in a permanent way in the EEPROM of the instruments. Like known good, these components have limited writing cycles beyond to which the component could be damaged. In our case the number of cycles of writing are about 10.
6.2 Communication Cable Laying Recommendations In order to minimise interference caused by the external environment to serial communication, and thus obtain maximum efficiency between the supervisor and the instruments, a few essential technical precautions must be taken. The most important and easiest to implement of all is to separate the power or power supply lines from the communication lines and lay them as far as possible from remote-controlled switches, electromagnets, powerful motors, etc.
Rt Device 1 Supervisor Device 2 Device "n" Rt Common Rg Rg G/R G/R Rg G/R Rg G/R G R G/R Rt = Transmitter = Receiver = Bi-directional (Receiver/Transmitter) buffer = Termination resistance: the transmitter can drives up to 32 receivers plus two 120 Ω resistors. Rg = 100 Ω Resistor From the above drawing it may be seen that a “star” connection is not valid. Each branch would have to be terminated, which in turn would reduce the overall the impedance of the line.
7.2 Read Status Function 07 (Read Status) returns an eight bit status with the following meanings: Bit Address 1 (LSB) 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 (MSB) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Variable Main output condition (0 = OFF, 1 = ON) AL2 alarm status (0 = OFF, 1 = ON) AL3 alarm status (0 = OFF, 1 = ON) Out of range (0 = Normal operation, 1 = Safety) Auto-Tune (0 = OFF, 1 = Run) 7.

Notes: 1. Assignment of Setpoint to the addresses JbuS 2 and 4 writes the Computer Setpoint. It is different from the Local Setpoint, which can be in any case set by keypad. 2. Assignment of output at the address JbuS 3 is only possible if the Auto/Man option if fitted and when the controller is in Manual mode. 3. Assignment of Setpoint to the address JbuS 5 writes the Local Setpoint (the previous value is lost). 4.

13.1 Use of instruments with the RS 485 communications option For instruments C10, M10, M300 and M400 with the RS 485 communications option, the connection must be made using an isolated RS 232C to RS 485 (2 wires) converter and a standard RS 232C cable. To use instruments C10, M10, M300 and M400 with the RS 485 communications option using an RS 232C to RS 485 converter, connect a standard RS 232C cable between a spare port on the computer and the RS 232C port of the converter.

The installation page should open automatically if autorun is active; if not, access your CD-ROM and double click the “install.exe” icon file.
13.3 To enter the configuration software After loading the software, enter the program by clicking: ‘Start’; ‘Programs’; ‘Athena Controls DIN Controllers’ and then clicking on the required instrument, e.g. ‘M300’.
13.4 Configuration software settings Click on ‘Comms’ and ‘Port’ and ensure that the port number corresponds to the one being used on the computer. Click on the correct port number if there is a check mark by the wrong setting. Click on ‘Comms’ and ‘BaudRate’ and ensure that it is set to 9600 for instruments without the RS 485 communications option. For instruments with RS 485, ensure that the setting in the configuration software is the same as in the instrument.

14. Recommended RS-232 to RS-485 Converter 14.1 Athena Part# 223A001401 RS-232 to RS-485 Optically Isolated Communications Converter This product is used to convert unbalanced, full-duplex RS-232 signals to half-duplex (2wire) RS-485 signals. It also provides optical isolation of data lines and ground between the RS-232 and RS-485 equipment.
14.2 General Information The converter may be plugged directly into the 9-pin serial port of a PC or connected via a standard 9-pin to 9-pin PC serial cable. The echo jumper must be in the “off” position and will configure the converter for RS485 two-wire (only) mode. Up to 32 receivers can be driven by any one RS-485 driver, allowing you to put together large systems with many drop points.
