Configure Modbus TCP Communication
This section introduces how to configure the Modbus TCP communication. Before configuration, please confirm that you have already selected the robot and entered the communication configuration interface.
-
On the Communication mode interface, complete the following configurations.
-
Set the “Interface service type” parameter to Standard Interface, and set the “Protocol” parameter to MODUBS TCP Slave.
-
Set the “Byte order” parameter. Set it based on the master device’s floating point byte order. For standard big-endian data, select DCBA; for standard small-endian data, select ABCD.
-
Set Slave ID according to your needs.
-
-
In the IP Address area, enter the port number of the host (Modbus TCP slave). The port number should be set to 50000 or larger.
-
(Optional) Select Auto enable interface service when opening the solution. When the solution is opened, you do not need to start the interface service manually.
-
Click the Apply button.
Next, you need to complete the remaining standard interface configuration according to the communication object.
