Modbus - Deployment
You may deploy the CP 240 Modbus either in master or in slave mode. At
both modes the module occupies each 16Byte for in- and output data at
arbitrary area in the CPU.
For the deployment with Modbus a hardware configuration must always be
executed.
The following components are required for the deployment of the System
200V Modbus modules:
• Each 1 System 200V consisting of CPU 21x and CP 240
• Siemens SIMATIC Manager
• Programming cable for MPI coupling (e.g. Green Cable from VIPA)
• GSD-file VIPA_21x.gsd (V1.67 or higher)
• VIPA handling blocks Vipa_Bibliothek_Vxxx.zip
• Serial connection between both CP 240
The CP 240 always requires a hardware configuration. For this the inclusion
of the VIPA_21x.gsd into the hardware catalog is necessary. The
parameterization has the following approach:
• Start the Siemens SIMATIC Manager
• Install the GSD-file VIPA_21x.gsd in the hardware catalog.
• Create a virtual PROFIBUS system in the hardware configurator with the
CPU 315-2DP (6ES7 315-2AF03 V1.2).
• Add to this system the slave system "VIPA_CPU21x" and assign the
PROFIBUS address 1.
• Configure your System 200V starting with the CPU 21x. Use a CP
labeled with "Modbus".
• Parameterize the CP 240 after your needs. The CP 240 occupies each
16Byte in the CPU for in- and output.
• Transfer your project to the PLC.
Except of the "Modbus Slave Short", the communication always requires a
PLC application. For this the communication happens via handling blocks
that you may include into the Siemens SIMATIC Manager by means of the
VIPA library Vipa_Bibliothek_Vxxx.zip. The library is available at
www.vipa.com.
Note!
More detailed information about the installation of the GSD-file and the
library is to be found in the chapter "Project engineering".
