Modbus RTU

The Modbus Serial Driver was designed for use with serial devices that support the Modbus RTU or Modbus ASCII protocol as “Master”.
Modbus Protocol is a messaging structure developed by Gould Modicon in 1979, used to establish master-slave/client-server communication between intelligent devices. It is a de facto standard, truly open and the most widely used network protocol in the industrial manufacturing environment. It is literally implemented by hundreds of vendors on thousands of different devices in order to transfer discrete/analog I/O and register data between control devices.

Modbus is an application layer messaging protocol, positioned at level 7 of the OSI model, that provides client/server communication between devices connected on different types of buses or networks.
The Modbus protocol has been accepted by the IEC as a Public Available Specification (IEC PAS 62030).
The Modbus Serial driver has been developed to support a wide range of Modbus RTU compatible devices available in the automation world.

The driver permits also to send broadcast messages (only output requests) on device ID 0.

Modbus TCP

Modbus TCP driver has been developed on the basis of Modbus protocol, according to Modbus specification. The driver acts as a client and allows communication with many devices classes supporting this protocol, such as PLCs, remote terminal units, analyzers, I/O modules, sensors, controllers, AC/DC drive control devices. This driver does not implement the Modbus messaging on TCP/IP service. Modbus TCP/IP specification has been developed in 1999. The specification of this protocol and its implementation guide can be obtained on www.modbus.org.
The devices can be direct part of an Ethernet network. The use of interconnection devices like bridge, router or gateway for interconnection between the TCP/IP network and a serial line sub-network permits connections of Modbus serial line client and server end devices. In this latter case, it is important to understand that the communication protocol Modbus TCP/IP is not simply MODBUS over TCP, i.e. is not equal to the MODBUS serial protocol wrapped by a TCP frame. So please be aware that this driver does not support those RS485/Ethernet gateways that add a TCP/IP wrapper to the serial Modbus messages.
The option “String Length” to Exchange Tags in string format has now been added (supported character format: ASCII).

Omron Ethernet-IP

EtherNet/IP is an industrial networking standard that takes advantage of commercial off-the-shelf Ethernet communication chips and physical media. IP stands for ‘industrial protocol’ and it is what distinguishes this network. Unlike many options in the industrial Ethernet crowd, EtherNet/IP uses an open protocol at the application layer. Moreover, more than one vendor or organization backs EtherNet/IP. It is the only standard supported by three networking organizations: ControlNet International (CI), the Industrial Ethernet Association (IEA) and the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA).

See the web site http://www.ethernet-ip.org for more information.

This driver has been expressly thought to communicate with Omron NJ and NX PLC series over the Ethernet network. This driver uses symbolic tag addressing (tags names) with Ethernet/IP native commands.

Panasonic FP

Panasonic FP allows the data exchange with Panasonic FP series PLCs, using the MEWTOCOL protocol. The driver has been developed for both serial and Ethernet communication.
Before using the driver the PLC must be properly configured through the specific programming software. The Windows version is named “FPWIN GR” or “FPWIN PRO”. The PLC communication parameters may be set by the “OptionPLC Configuration…” menu command in the GR package, while in the PRO package the menu command is under “OnlineCommunication Parameters”.
The Panasonic FP Driver can communicate with either the PLC programming port (“Tool port”) or the PLC “COM port”. For the latter it is important to set the parameter “Port Selection” to the value “Computer Link”.

Note that with this setting the “Communication Format” parameters named “Terminator” and “Header” can be left to their default values (“CR” and “STX not exist”) because they are not used.

The Panasonic FP Driver can also communicate with FP PLCs using TCP/IP over Ethernet.
Panasonic FP Driver supports also the communication via the USB port of the PLC. In this case, the software “Panasonic Electric Works PLC Virtual UART” must be installed.

BACnet is a protocol defined by ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Engineers). The ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 135-2004 document contains the protocol definition. Annex to the document contains specification of the BACnet transported over IP, which is the implementation chosen for this driver.

The BACnet protocol has a number of services that permit to read/write the properties of the configured Data Objects. In order to get the value of the property “Present_Value”, it is possible to choose between two ways : sending a request “ReadProperty” or subscribing a COV (Change Of Value) notification for the Data Object. Using the service “ReadProperty” means polling the object with a request, and receive an answer containing the data; using COV notification means subscribing to the device for a notification when the “Present_Value” of a Data Object changes. This second way results in a spontaneous message from the device, whenever a Present_Value changes its value, reducing the traffic at the minimum.

The SNMP driver permits to communicate with devices that support the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) protocol. SNMP is an Internet-standard, introduced in 1988. This driver works as a SNMP “Manager”, and supports the following versions of the protocol: SNMPv1, SNMPv2c.
This driver implements the SNMP “Get” and “Set” requests to, respectively, read and write data from and to the connected devices. This driver does not manage “Trap” notifications. The devices must act as SNMP “Agents”. The database of a SNMP agent is called MIB (Management Information Base). Each value stored in a MIB can be addressed using a “readable” name or a numeric value, expressed in dot-notation, called OID (Object IDentifier). This driver uses OIDs in numeric format to address data.
