Using Peer Cop with Modsoft

Configuring a Node to Exchange Data

Getting Started To Peer Cop this sample configuration, each CPU must be separately programmed to communicate with the others over Modbus Plus. Begin by connecting your programming panel to the 171 CCS 760 00 Momentum M1 device at Modbus Plus address 2. Access the Peer Cop with your Modsoft 2.6 software.

When you reach the default Peer Cop screen, you need to initialize the summary information region. To do this, define a link value and a node value in the Add Node popup.

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.

For our example, we will first access the AT984 supervisory PLC at Modbus Plus address 1.
