3.3Examples of FieldServer setup for typical clients MSTR Example: Modbus Plus Node
This example shows a Modicon Modsoft screen for an MSTR function in a Modbus Plus node. It writes one register of data to a virtual node in the FieldServer.
HThe MSTR Function Code specifies a Write operation
HOne register of data is to be transferred
HThe destination register is 40000 (addressed as register 1).
HThe FieldServer’s node address is 1. Note that the decimal value 1025 equals 0401 hexadecimal, addressing a Modbus Plus Network Option Module (NOM) in backplane slot 04 and a node at address 01.
HThe destination index is 28. The FieldServer will forward the message to the TCP node whose IP address is in this location in the FieldServer’s TCP Mapping table.
