library function MODBUS RTU, AXC F IL ADAPT (1020304), IB IL RS UNI-PAC - (2700893)

edited January 2020 in PLCnext Engineer

Hello,

I am currently in a project migrating an ILC to AXC PLCNext platform.

I am using the original ILC peripheral hardware by applying the AXC F IL adapter (1020304). So using the AXC F 2152, Works fine.

For the serial cards IB IL RS UNI-PAC - 2700893 however, I would like to use the MODBUS RTU Library. I can not find an interface for the serial cards in the MODBUS RTU Library. Only AXL F RS UNI 1H (2688666) Interface is present.

Is there another library MODBUS RTU where this interface is present?

Regards,

JoKer

  • Hi JoKer,

    I've spoke with my colleges from the engineering team. On long term it is planned to implement also a compatible FB for the IL RS Uni, but currently you can only use the lib with AXL RS Uni.

  • Extra question regarding this topic.

    For a project in Belgium we need a Modbus RTU library for the IB IL RS UNI card. I want to convert the current PcWorx library towards PLCnext Engineer.

    Problems are the MemSet and MemCopy functions.

    Can we still use an adaption library? Or should I rewrite the source code where needed?

    Target system is 2020.0 LTS.

     

    Thanks,

    Sven

  • Hi Sven,

    The answer to your question is:

    "a PC Worx library cannot be imported under PLCnext Engineer and the Source code is password protected."

    Sorry about that.

    Martin.

  • Update to this question:

    The developers are currently working on the next release of the Modbus RTU FB library, which is planned to support Inline modules via the Inline adapter.

    We don't have a release date for this yet, but please keep an eye on the PLCnext Store, where it will appear when available.

    ~ Martin.
