Introduction<\/h2>\n

The Modbus library has been extended to take advantage of the powerful features of NG-Configurator. This page describe the functioning of the library with this tool with an example.<\/span><\/p>\n

For description of the Modbus library, please\u00a0visit this page<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Short description of NG-Configurator<\/h2>\n

NG-Configurator\u00a0is an ‘add-on’ tool for PG5 allowing you to generate Saia PCD<\/span>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0program code from an Excel file. This is\u00a0particularly useful for big PG5 projects, but it is fully applicable for small projects too. It is much easier to create and edit an Excel file than a Fupla file with dozen FBoxs spread over several pages.\u00a0When the ‘build’ of the PG5 program is started, the NG-Configurator\u00a0automatically compiles the Excel file and everything is downloaded in the Saia PCD<\/span>\u00ae<\/sup>. For a\u00a0general description of the\u00a0<\/span>NG-Configurator, visit this page<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Functioning of NG-Configurator with Modbus<\/h2>\n

The FBox ‘Master Link’ and ‘Slave Station’ still need to be placed and configured in a Fupla file. The SEND and RCV requests are defined in an Excel file rather than placing FBoxs in a Fupla file. Doing this you get a much better overview of your communication tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Another big advantage is the special ‘BUFFER’ function allowing you to read a big number of data in a single transaction and to convert them locally in different formats. See the detailed description at the bottom of this page.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Excel file is divided in two parts. One sheet for the SEND requests and one for the RCV requests. Each row corresponds to one request.<\/span><\/p>\n
