'''Modbus''' is a serial communications protocol originally published by Modicon (now Schneider Electric) in 1979 for use with its programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Modbus has become a de facto standard communication protocol and is now a commonly available means of connecting industrial electronic devices. The main reasons for the use of Modbus in the industrial environment are:

Modbus enables communication among many devices connected to the same network, for example, a system that measures temperature and humidity and communicates the results to a computer. Modbus is often used to connect a supervisory computer with a remote terminal unit (RTU) in supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. Many of the data types are named from its use in driving relays: a single-bit physical output is called a coil, and a single-bit physical input is called a discrete input or a contact.

==Modbus data to server==
 +
 +
===Creating server===
 +
----
 +
 +
In order to test the functionality, you will need to set up a server (you can run a server on the same computer you use as a slave simulator).
 +
 +
There are many ways how you can create a server to which Modbus will send data to. In this example we are going to be using Windows 10 computer and Hercules app, which you can download  [https://www.hw-group.com/product-version/hercules here], to create a test server. Download, install the app and apply the configuration below:
 +
 +
[[File:Networking_rut955_configuration_modbus_serial_8_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
 +
 +
# Select '''TCP Server''' tab.
 +
# Enter '''Port''' (In this example default 1883 is used).
 +
# Click '''Listen'''
 +
 +
And that is it, now you will be able to see the data coming from Modbus in the Received data section.
 +
 +
===RUT Modbus data to server configuration===
 +
----
 +
 +
In order to setup your router to send Modbus data to server you will need to navigate to '''Services > Modbus > Modbus Data to Server'''.
 +
 +
[[File:Networking_rut955_configuration_modbus_serial_9_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
 +
 +
# Select '''Protocol''' (In this example HTTP(S) will be used).
 +
# Enter '''IP''' and '''port''' of the PC with the Hercules software.
 +
# Enter '''Period''' (minutes, how often router should send data to server).
 +
# Click '''ADD'''.
 +
 +
Then you will be redirected to '''Advanced sender settings'''.
 +
 +
[[File:Networking_rut955_configuration_modbus_serial_10_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
 +
 +
# Enter '''Name''' (It can be anything you want).
 +
# Click '''Save'''.
 +
 +
===Receiving data===
 +
----
 +
 +
Open Hercules again, press '''Listen''' and you should start receiving Modbus Data messages.
 +
 +
[[File:Networking_rut955_configuration_modbus_serial_11_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
 +
 +
Try to change some data in the Modbus Slave simulator.
 +
 +
[[File:Networking_rut955_configuration_modbus_serial_12_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
 +
 +
Received data should change.
 +
 +
[[File:Networking_rut955_configuration_modbus_serial_13_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
 +
 +
==Slave alarms==
 +
 +
In order to setup the following configuration SIM card is required.
 +
 +
Go back to '''Services > Modbus > Modbus Serial Master''' and press edit the same Slave configuration or create a new one. There will be section called '''Slave alarms'''. Create a name, then press '''Add''' button. When it appears like in the example, press '''Edit'''.
 +
 +
[[File:Networking_rut955_configuration_modbus_serial_14_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
 +
 +
Then apply the following configuration:
 +
 +
[[File:Networking_rut955_configuration_modbus_serial_15_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
 +
 +
# '''Enable''' instance.
 +
# Select '''Function''' (Read Holding Registers).
 +
# Write '''Register''' (1).
 +
# Select '''Condition''' (More than).
 +
# Write '''Value''' (5).
 +
# Select '''Action''' (SMS).
 +
# Write '''Phone number''' (the number you want to receive the messages to).
 +
# Create '''Message''' (type anything you want to receive).
 +
# Press '''Save'''.
 +
 +
Now go back to '''Modbus slave simulator''' and edit this window:
 +
 +
[[File:Networking_rut955_configuration_modbus_serial_16_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
 +
 +
Change the value to anything below 5, you should not receive messages. Then change the value to anything above 5, you should start receiving messages.
