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 1-64, the

 

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 80-255, Implicit

 

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].
