BRX Do-More PLC Using Modbus IO Scanner Profile

The Do-More Designer Programming Software (2.9) or higher includes a Modbus I/O Scanner with some profiles for Modbus Server (Slave) devices. This will greatly reduce the time it takes to implement and troubleshoot communications in your projects. Modbus communications are done independent of the PLC scan time and will have little or no ladder logic for the program. Last time we communicated to a Solo process temperature controller via Modbus RTU RS485. (twisted pair) We manually set the Modbus IO scanner, reading the present value (PV) and set value (SV) of the Solo. The writing of the set value (SV) located within the BRX Do-More controller was also done. This was all be done without using any ladder logic code. We will now use the Modbus profile in the Modbus IO Scanner to connect a Click Plus PLC to our RS485 network. Using the Modbus scanner to write and read instructions we will also show how to use the ladder logic code with our scanner. Let’s get started. More information can be obtained on our website.
