6.11.2.3. Configuring the Response
Next select the “Response” element from the Modbus command. The various elements of the configuration of the response for this command are shown opposite. The values displayed correspond to the default values for any new command.
These elements allow you to configure a single aspect of managing the command, described below. Each of them is described, in order, in the table below.
Configuration | Description |

Trigger byte | This element is used by the gateway to activate the unitary incrementation of an | |
| counter in order to notify the | |
| associated Modbus command. It takes one of the following two values: | |
| - Disabled | Default configuration. The gateway does not increment any |
| counter on receipt of the Modbus response. | |
| - Enabled | Each time that the gateway receives a new response to the |
| associated Modbus command, it increments the value of an | |
| the “Trigger byte address” element (see below). If used, this counter allows the Profibus- | |
| DP master, for example, to only consider the response’s corresponding data when this | |
| counter’s value is incremented. | |
Trigger byte | This element is only used by the gateway if the element “Trigger byte” is set to “Enabled”. In | |
address | this case, it specifies the address, in the gateway’s input memory (16#0002 to 16#00F3), of | |
| an | |
| When the gateway receives a response to the associated Modbus command, it increments | |
| the value of this counter in a unitary manner (value = value+1). So the | |
| must have access to this counter in the same way as for the periodic input registers from | |
| the TeSys U motor starters. | |
| This mode allows the | |
| This can be useful, for example, if it is possible that the data from two consecutive | |
| responses may be identical. | |
| N.B.: In the specific case of the gateway’s default configuration, the “Trigger byte” element for | |
| responses to | the “Transactions 1” and “Transactions 2” personalized commands of the |
| “TeSys U n°1” node is set to “Enabled”. Hence, the management of responses to read and | |
| write commands for parameters is event driven. | |
| The “Trigger byte address” elements of the “Response” elements of these two commands | |
| are configured at addresses 16#001E and 16#001F. These are the “parameter read/write | |
| response counters”. Considered under | |
| are configured the same way as the other inputs (see chapter 4.2.9 Configuring the | |
| Gateway I/O under PL7 PRO, page 32) and both correspond to the %IW4.0.15 input. |
