ICL 4120

• We were able to successfully communicate with the device. (see below for configuration parameters used during the testing)
• The product supported Modbus functions 1,2,3,4,5,6 & 16

Baud: 9600
Parity: None
Stop: 1
Mode: RTU Master Mode
Physical Connection : RS-232

The Module Configuration used in our testing was as follows:

Address    0    1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9
N7:0       0    0    5    0    0    0    0    0    0    0
N7:10      1    1    5    0    0    0    0    0    0    0
N7:20      4    1    2  130  150    0    0    0    4    0

This configuration, in combination with the example ladder logic referenced below, generates the following memory map:

N10:0 to N10:129 - Slave Data
N10:130 to N10:149 - Slave Error Table (Contains revision level information also)
N10:150 to N10:199 - Master Error Table (Contains status of commands for diagnostics)

Command List:
The following command list shows some of the commands which were used to test the communications:

Address     0       1          2          3        4       5       6
          Port    Slave    Function    Source    Count    Dest    Read
         Number   Number     Code      Address           Address  Type       
N7:50       1       1          1          0        6        0      0
N7:60       1       1          2          0       12        1      0
N7:70       1       1          3       2000        5        2      0
N7:80       1       1          4          0       10       10      0
N7:90       1       1          5       3360        1        0      0
N7:100      1       1          6        200        0     2000      0
N7:110      1       1         15       3360        6        0      0
N7:120      1       1         16        200        5     2000      0

Our test command list perfoms the following functions.

1. N7:50 Read digital outputs.
2. N7:60 Read digital inputs
3. N7:70 Read user area data.
4. N7:80 Read 30xxx registers.
5. N7:90 Write digital output.
6. N7:100 Write to user area.
7. N7:110 Write digital outputs.
8. N7:120 Write to user area.

The physical connection which was used during testing was as follows:

3100-MCM Module		ICL 4130
2 TXD	--------------------------------	Terminal 5
3 RXD	--------------------------------	Terminal 3
7 GND	--------------------------------	Terminal 4

Note: RTS/CTS (Terminals 4&5) must be jumpered on the 3100-MCM

1. The cable connection for comm 1 is a standard Apple Computer serial cable. For testing purposes we used a break-out box to jumper RTS/CTS on the 3100-MCM module.

Reference Material:

The sample logic which we used as a starting point for our testing is available for downloading:

3100-MCM sample logic for the PLC-5 platform in RSLogix format
