The information on this page is updated in accordance with 00.07.03.2 firmware version. .
Modbus is a serial communications protocol. Simple and robust, it has become a de facto standard communication protocol and is now a commonly available means of connecting industrial electronic devices.
In this configuration example, we will configure Modbus TCP Slave and Modbus TCP Master. We will send a Set Parameters request from Modbus TCP Master to Modbus TCP Slave, which will send an SMS message provided in the Modbus TCP Master Set PArameter request.
If you're having trouble finding this page or some of the parameters described here on your device's WebUI, you should turn on "Advanced WebUI" mode. You can do that by clicking the "Basic" button under "Mode", which is located at the top-right corner of the WebUI.
Prerequisites
- At least one TRB/RUT device with the SIM card, for this example we will be using one device
- One end device (PC, Laptop, Tablet, Smartphone) to configure the router
- One Mobile Phone in order to test the configuration
Configuring Modbus TCP Slave and Modbus TCP Master
Firstly, we will configure Modbus TCP Slave on the router and then on the same device we will configure Modbus TCP Master in order to send Modbus requests to the same device.
Configuring Modbus TCP Slave
In order to start our configuration you will need to open your device's WebUI (by entering the device's IP address of your device), then navigate to Services → Modbus → Modbus TCP Slave.
In order to configure Modbus TCP Slave follow the steps provided below:
Explanation:
- Enable the Modbus TCP Slave
- Select the port on which Modbus TCP Slave will communicate with the Modbus TCP Master (for this example: 502)
- Enable persistent connection (not mandatory)
- Save the configuration
Configuring Modbus TCP Master
Lets continue with the configuration, now we will configure Modbus TCP Master on the same device. Navigate to Services → Modbus → Modbus TCP Master. Press the button ADD and follow the steps provided below:
Explanation:
- Enable the instance
- Create a name for Modbus TCP Master
- Provide the Slave ID (in this case: 1)
- Provide IP address of the Slave ID, in this case, this router's IP (192.168.1.1)
- Provide Modbus TCP Slave ID (in this case 502)
- In this part we will configure two different SMS messages (hex and ASCII formats) and one send a request to send those messages, we will configure it a little bit later, so leave this part empty for now.
- Save the configuration
Configuring Modbus TCP Master Request Configuration
Now that we have Modbus TCP Master and Modbus TCP Slave configurated, we will need to create Request Configuration. The Request configuration will be used to store the SMS message and the number of the recipient. Lastly, we will send the SMS message to the recipient with the set Command. To store Phone numbers and SMS messages we will use ASCII and HEX Data Types, you can configure either one of them, and both of them will work.
So first of all, we will create a Request in which we will store the Recipient number and SMS message, we will use ASCII Data Type, Set Multiple holding registers(16) Function and 398 Register.
