Monarco HAT as Modbus TCP slave

This folder contains the source files for the demonstration project on using REXYGEN on the Raspberry Pi minicomputer with the Monarco HAT extension board.

In this example the Monarco HAT is used as a Modbus TCP slave to allow integration in complex or hierarchical control systems.

Prerequisites

  • REXYGEN Runtime Core, RPiDrv and MbDrv modules must be installed and running on the Raspberry Pi.

Running the example

  • The *exec.mdl file is the project main file.
  • Open it with REXYGEN Studio, compile and download it to the target device.

Modbus registers

Modbus holding registers are used for data exchange. Use the Read Holding Registers command (FC=03) for reading the status of Monarco HAT inputs and the Preset Multiple Registers command (FC=16) to manipulate the outputs.

Monarco HAT input signals

Register No. Meaning Data range
0 Digital inputs (LSB=DI1) 0..15
1 Analog input 1 (0..10V, 12-bit) 0..4095
2 Analog input 2 (0..10V, 12-bit) 0..4095

Monarco HAT output signals

Register No. Meaning Data range
2048 Digital outputs (LSB=DO1) 0..15
2049 Analog output 1 (0..10V, 12-bit) 0..4095
2050 Analog output 2 (0..10V, 12-bit) 0..4095

Adding signals and changing Modbus register mapping

Go to Modbus TCP Slave driver (MTS block) configuration and press "Configure" for Modbus registers configuration. Make sure to read the Modbus driver documentation (see below).
