Modbus IP Server Configuration
CoolMasterNet Modbus IP Server is activated with below command:
|
>modbus IP enable |
CoolMasterNet has to be restarted to run Modbus IP server for the first time. Same way Modbus IP server can be disabled, in this case instead of enable type disable
To quire current Modbus IP server configuration use modbus command without parameters:
|
>modbus |
Modbus IP default TCP/IP port is 502. This is one of the so called well-known Ethernet ports. If required, port number can be changed with:
|
>modbus server port 500 |
Again restart required to let port change take effect. Modbus IP Server configurations are persistent over power resets, they are stored in nonvolatile memory.
Virtual Address (VA) Concept
In order to simplify translation of the UID (like L5.102) into Modbus object address, CoolMasterNet uses VA, associated with UID. Each UID can have none, one or a number of associated VA's. VA's are plain numbers starting from 001 (decimal). To let CoolMasterNet automatically associate VA's with existing (visible with ls command) UID's run:
|
>va auto |
This command will delete all existing associations and will create new associations one to one (one VA to one UID). At any time VA associations list can be retrieved with plain va command:
|
>va |
Hex and Dec numbers printed after VA are Base Address used to access Modbus objects related to UID-VA association. Base Address can be calculated as BaseAddress = VA*16 + 1. For example Indoor Unit L1.102 has associated VA = 002, thus Base Address = 2*16+1 = 33.
VA Command details
va auto - CoolMasterNet will automatically associate VA's with existing UID's. This will delete previous associations
va delall - delete all VA associations
va - <UID> - delete all VA associations with specific UID
va - <VA> - delete specific VA association
va + <UID> <VA> - add new VA association
Discrete Inputs, Coils and Registers
Once the Base Address is determined, access to the specific Indoor Unit parameter(s) is done via Modbus objects listed below.
