DATA EXCHANGE

•Status register (0x0000 to 0x0001): If enabled, this register occupies the first two bytes in the input data area. For more information, see Control and status registers on page 8–1.

•Input data area (0x002 to 0x00F3): This area holds data that should be sent to the fieldbus (see the status and control registers).

•Control register (0x0200 to 0x0201): If enabled, these register occupies the first two bytes in the output data area. For more information, see Control and status registers on page 8–1.

•Output data area (0x200 to 0x2F3): This area holds data received from the fieldbus. Data cannot be written to this area.

•General data Area (0x0400 to 0x7FF): This data cannot be accessed from the fieldbus, and should be used for transfers between nodes on the sub-network, or as a general “scratch pad” for data.

Protocol configuration

DESCRIPTION In order to be able to communicate on the Modbus sub-network, the P485 must be supplied with a description of the required sub-net protocol. To accomplish this, the EnerVista P485/D485 Setup software features a flexible protocol-programming system, allowing the P485 to interpret and exchange data with almost any serial device on the Modbus sub-network.

COMMUNICATION MODE The P485 supports the Modbus Master communication mode. In this mode, the P485 is setup to use the Modbus RTU protocol and implements a Modbus master for data exchange between the fieldbus and one or more devices on the sub-network. Refer to Chapter 5 for additional details.

PROTOCOL BUILDING A description of the building blocks used to describe the sub-net protocol is shown below.

•Node: In the P485, a node holds all transactions and parameters for a particular device on the sub network.

•Transaction: Transactions contains messages to be transmitted on the sub-network. A transaction consists of one or more message frames (see figure above), and has a few general parameters to specify how and when the transaction should be used on the sub-network.

•Commands: A command is a pre-defined transaction that has been stored in a list in the EnerVista P485/D485 Setup software. This improves readability as well as simplifying common operations by allowing transactions to be stored and reused.
