Panel server PAS800 with 12 PM5110's connected

[rolfoeng]

Hi to all,

for my project, i have a panel server PAS800 with 12 PM5110 's connected at the panel with modbus serial connection. I need to read the data from each PM5110 through the PAS800 panel server with a PLC that is connected to the PAS800 with a modbus TCP/IP connection. Now i can only read the data with my PLC through the PAS800 from only one PM5110, and it's work infact i can read the data that i need. How can i do to read in my PLC through the PAS800 the same register and the same tipology of data for each PM5110? For example i need to read from each PM5110 the modbus register number 3000 which refers to the Current A.

Thanks in advance.

hello @rolfoeng ,

I understand that you just want to use the modbus gateway feature of the PAS800 (similar to EGX or LINK150).

If you are in switched port config , modbus server is activated by default on Ethernet ports which are switched.

2 options :

- If you configure the PM in PAS800 (PM visible in PAS) you need to use the virtual ID of the PM, this id is the modbus address of the device and you will have to poll Virtual ID, register 3000 to get current A

- if you do not configure PM in PAS800, this is transparent, you will have to pol modbus address register 3000 to get Current A

If virtual ID = Modbus address/ID you get the same behaviour.

Refer to user manual.

Kind Regards
