Using Peer Cop with Modsoft

Defining the Link and Accessing a Node

Overview

When you reach the default Peer Cop screen, a popup menu asks you to define a

 

link and access a node.

 

 

What Is a Link? The link is the Modbus Plus network on which the CPU resides.

The only valid link value for a Momentum M1 CPU is 1. An M1 can function only on one Modbus Plus network–multiple Modbus Plus links are not supported.

What Is a Node? The node is the Modbus Plus address of one of the I/O devices on the network.

A valid node value in our example is any number in the range 2...5. For our example, we will first access the170 ADI 340 00 16-point input module at Modbus Plus address 2.

Note: Address 1, the network address of the CPU itself, is not a valid node to access since the CPU does not need to access itself over the network.
