6. Configuring the Gateway

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.

element

 

 

 

Trigger byte

This element is used by the gateway to activate the unitary incrementation of an 8-bit

 

counter in order to notify the Profibus-DP master of the receipt of a new response to 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 8-bit counter designated by

 

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 8-bit counter managed by the gateway.

 

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 Profibus-DP master

 

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 Profibus-DP master to be informed that a new response is available.

 

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 Profibus-DP, SyCon, and PL7 PRO, these two data

 

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.
