Configuring the TSXCUSBMBP Driver
1. Explicit | The Explicit Addressing process is described as follows: |
Addressing | z Explicit Addressing is used whenever the Modbus ID in a message received |
| through the Virtual Serial Port is present in the Modbus Routing Table, regardless |
| of what range of values the Modbus ID falls into. In Explicit Addressing, the |
| routing path will be the one that was entered into the Modbus Routing Table for |
| the Modbus ID of the received message. |
| z Any value can be selected for the Modbus ID as long as it does not conflict with |
| any Modbus IDs currently used by the application for Direct Addressing or Implicit |
| Addressing. However, it is helpful for each Modbus ID to have some |
| correspondence in value to the Modbus Plus node that it will be used to access. |
| z If no Modbus Plus node addresses are duplicated in the network (same |
| Modbus Plus node address used on more than one local network if separated by |
| Bridge Plus devices), the Modbus IDs to use for Explicit Addressing can be the |
| actual Modbus Plus node addresses. |
2. Direct |
|
The Direct Addressing process is described as follows: | |
Addressing | z If the Modbus ID in a message received through the Virtual Serial Port is not |
| present in the Modbus Routing Table and it is in the range of |
| TSXCUSBMBP Driver will use Direct Addressing. |
| z In Direct Addressing, the Modbus ID of the received message is used directly as |
| the 1st byte of the routing path, and the remaining 4 bytes are set to 0. |
| z For example, a Modbus ID of 2 would be routed to [2.0.0.0.0], and a Modbus ID |
| of 45 would be routed to [45.0.0.0.0] |
3. Implicit |
|
The Implicit Adressing process is described as follows: | |
Addressing | z If the Modbus ID in a message received through the Virtual Serial Port is not |
| present in the Modbus Routing Table and it is in the range of |
| Addressing will be used. |
| z When the TSXCUSBMBP driver uses Implicit Addressing, it divides the Modbus |
| ID of the received message by 10. The quotient is used as the 1st byte of the |
| routing path, the remainder is used as the 2nd byte of the routing path, and the |
| remaining 3 bytes are set to 0. For example, a Modbus ID of 87 would be routed |
| to [8.7.0.0.0], and a Modbus ID of 230 would be routed to [23.0.0.0.0]. |
