Communication Portfolio
Easy integration of existing equipment into
new generation open networking structures
Features
Open interchange of control data

Nowadays, Modbus is commonly used as protocol for the interchange of data between
various devices and systems for tank terminal automation purposes and still gains
acceptance as a standard.

systems for tank terminal automation, reducing the cost of systems upgrades and
simplifying integration of existing and new equipment.

Available for RTU, ASCII & TCP

Via the Modbus Communication Portfolio, industry standard equipment like for example
Master, slave and client

license, also on existing systems

The offered Modbus communication portfolio comes in the form of a software license
to be installed on the Enraf C2IU Communication, Control &Interface Unit (see separate
product sheet). Installation of the Modbus communication portfolio on existing C2IU
configurations in operation is possible at all times.
Both master and slave functionality are available to support communication functions
to both field equipment and host systems. Serial communication can be set up in ASCII
and RTU mode via the two independent RS232C serial ports on the controller.

The diagnostic code when a command is received is 0 (zero).

Only basic device ID numbers, such as vender names, product codes, and revision numbers, are applicable.
These function codes support broadcast communications. If the station parameter for each unit is set to 0
(zero), broadcast communications are executed. Broadcast communications are not supported in Ethernet.
