Modbus Driver on the PXC Series Platform Functionality Notes on System Architecture The Modbus Driver in RTU Master Mode, with Firmware 2.x (Figure 1), supports the following: ● Three physical FLNs (FLN 1 through FLN 3) on PXC Modular hardware, which can be used for connecting and addressing either Modbus RTU or P1 devices on RS-485 FLNs.
Modbus Driver on the PXC Series Platform Functionality Notes on System Architecture The Modbus Driver in RTU Master Mode, with Firmware 3.x (Figure 2), supports the following: ● BACnet MS/TP or BACnet/IP ALN on Firmware 3.x. If the driver is on a BACnet MS/TP network, you can use a standard field panel with Firmware Revision 3.1 or later as a router to connect to an Insight workstation. Do not use an Integration Driver as the router.
Modbus Driver on the PXC Series Platform Functionality Notes on System Architecture The Modbus Driver in RTU Slave Mode (Figure 3), with either Firmware 2.x or 3.x, supports the following: ● BACnet MS/TP or BACnet/IP ALN on Firmware 3.x. If the driver is on a BACnet MS/TP network, you can use a standard field panel with Firmware Revision 3.1 or later as a router to connect to an Insight workstation. Do not use an Integration Driver as the router.
Modbus Driver on the PXC Series Platform Functionality Notes on System Architecture The Modbus Driver as RTU Master, Modbus TCP Client, and Modbus RTU over Ethernet on Firmware Revision 2.x (Figure 4), supports the following: ● Three physical FLNs (FLN 1 through FLN 3) on PXC Modular hardware can be used for connecting and addressing either Modbus RTU or P1 devices on RS-485 FLNs.
Modbus Driver on the PXC Series Platform Functionality Notes on System Architecture The Modbus Driver as RTU Master, Modbus TCP Client, and Modbus RTU over Ethernet on Firmware Revision 3.x (Figure 5), supports the following: ● BACnet MS/TP or BACnet/IP ALN on Firmware 3.x. If the driver is on a BACnet MS/TP network, you can use a standard field panel with Firmware Revision 3.1 or later as a router to connect to an Insight workstation. Do not use an Integration Driver as the router.
Modbus Driver on the PXC Series Platform Functionality Functionality The Modbus Driver provides communication between the APOGEE® Automation System and the vendor's Modbus system. The Modbus Driver can be loaded into PXC Modular or PXC-36 hardware. The driver is a microprocessor-based, multi-tasking platform designed for multi-system communication and control.
