A Typical Modbus Device Memory Map

[@rileycrain5784]

An 8 year video is helping me a bunch. Started my scada journey about 2 years ago. Programmed entire scada system with SEL product and survalent software. I finally ran into modbus and im super excited to finally learn it

[@EmileAckbarali]

So pleased to hear that you are finding the information useful.

[@AmitGupta-hm8on]

Hi Emile, i don't know how to thank you , you just made my life easy.... keep it up sir. many many thanks

[@EmileAckbarali]

So pleased to hear that Amit. Thanks for letting me know!

[@cpp1]

Excellent course. Thanks so much. It sure beats having learn MODBUS through the MODBUS protocol manual!

[@EmileAckbarali]

+Kit Jacke Thanks very much for your comment. I am glad that the course was beneficial to you.

[@anhhieu492]

Me too. I really thank you so much! #Emile AckBarali

I was sad last 3 days becose i was tagging in ignition scada but errors show again and again when i watch your video i understand basic property of scada options and my tagging was successful thanks sir for a such nice video.

[@EmileAckbarali]

So pleased that this information was able to help Anuj. Really appreciate the comment. Best of luck with the rest of your project.

[@electromechanician]

Makes it pretty easy to understand when you put it like that!! Great video!

[@EmileAckbarali]

Thanks very much!

Greetings from Brazil!! Man, your videos are awesome. I`ve loved it. Please keep doing this good work. I`ve got to understand everything you`ve said and it was pretty easy to learn.

[@EmileAckbarali]

Thank you so very much Wanderson for this amazing message. I so very much appreciate the compliment. So very pleased that you found the video beneficial. All the best to you!

Thanks very much Heyward.

Very good video to clear the basic concept of Modbus. Thank You Very much..!!

Thanks Bhanwar!

Just warming up to implement modbus over usart-rs485 using atmega328p microcontroler as a full plc with lcd interface. A note: there are motor drives that allow the registers in them not only to be used for analog or setpoint data, but also as a set of discrete inputs (status word) and discrete outputs in order to save bandwidth and processing resources. Second note: the space alloted in the modbus reserved memory of compliant devices is probably much smaller than the maximal address gap given by the specs.

[@EmileAckbarali]

Thanks for this great info and contribution Klaus! Wonderful!

[@khaledgha7214]

coils numbers start with a zero and then span from 00001 to 09999discrete input numbers start with a one and then span from 10001 to 19999input register numbers start with a three and then span from 30001 to 39999holding register numbers start with a four and then span from 40001 to 49999

@@EmileAckbarali Is there any video showing the actual devices and how the connection is set up?

[@EmileAckbarali]

@@InstrumentCalibration I don't have a video in this series showing real-world devices and their wiring. Is that what you are referring to?

Hi Emile. I have a problem with turbo compressor display & panel that using modbus RTU to communicate with the controller. It use DB9 connector. I tried to hook up the data using the modscan32 but all the data remain zero. Communication parameter & the com port used is correct. Then I tried to check the cabling by using 2 laptops using USB to serial converters & connected to turbo compressor cable to ensure no cabling problem. One laptop running modscan32 & the other laptop running modsim32. My question is it possible to test the comm cable using 2 USB to serial converters, any additional device required such as null modem etc ? Because after I tried it can't work. Please give me a hint. Thank you so much & have a nice time !!!

[@Ragavenutb]

Hi, can i know the voltage out put from rs 485 modbus terminal +A,-B?. Am only getting 1.04 vdc. Am trying to communicate with a power factor controller( selec APFC 148-312) using usb ch340g to serial but i couldn't read the registers, ive tried modbus scan software,it always reports invalid data or modbus data timeout have tried all possible combinations like slave id,baud rate,parity,stop bits. Nothing seems to work any help would be appreciated. Thank You.

[@billyireland7549]

if the Inputs memory map runs from 10001 - 20000 and the Input registers is from 30001 to 40000 what happened to 20001 - 30000

[@EmileAckbarali]

Billy Ireland Very good question. I am not sure why they omitted that range but this is how it is designed in the Modbus Protocol Reference. I have always been curious of this as well.

[@LaeeqKhan01]

20001 - 30000 are invalid addresses for modbus. Any operations in that range of addresses will fail.

[@kunalpurohit2479]

How should I put as Modbus registers for read through Prosoft gateway when register address number is 42000 and more and offset is in 5000s

[@methaqali9147]

[@electronician8074]

If the input is frequency (from Variable relutance speed sensor) the type of input is discrete input or analog input? Thanks

[@avinashpankhade8644]

really helpful

[@gerhardzucker5212]

thank you so much, Emile. That helped a lot. What I still don't get is what Modbus RTU Message I should send, if I know that a device has a holding register at address 35010. Should I read address 35010? Or is it ony address 5010, since the 3 relates to the function code in the Modbus RTU message?

[@EmileAckbarali]

If the Modbus slave device you are communicating with implements the core Modbus specification, then you just have to specify 5010 as the address. Keep in mind that 35010 is in the Input Register address range and not the Holding Register address range.

[@nikhilkamble3969]

How can we read date and time of Peak demand in EM7230 over modbus ?

[@babdejlil]

thx plz i have a micom relay and i want to communicate it a telvent RTU on modbus RTU first i can't make database while i know the map of database of micom second i need only these inputs : Circuit breaker opened/closed, phase or fault trip . measurements current of three phase and how configurate two outputs relays and four inputs logicals third the type of relay is P12x or P14x can u help me plz with all thanks

[@epineh]

Is that memory map per slave device or the whole system? Seems overkill for individual devices to be able to address 20000 registers and 20000 coils when most devices like VFD's will use half a dozen to operate.

[@EmileAckbarali]

It is actually the "potential" memory map per slave device. I say potential because most slave devices will have only a very small fraction of the addresses for their own use.

[@epineh]

Ok so does that mean the potential total memory map for a system could be 256 slave units multiplied by 40000 slave addresses? (forgetting the 65535 actual possible addresses by implementing extended addressing) While that is obviously unlikely its still possible ?

[@EmileAckbarali]

@@epineh Yes, it is very possible, but very very unlikely to be implemented in the real world.

[@epineh]

@@EmileAckbarali I see, nice video and thanks for taking the time to reply.

[@EmileAckbarali]

@@epineh Hey no worries. Thanks for your interest. All the best!

[@wallstreet497]

Hey where do the counter and timer go in Modbus ?

[@EmileAckbarali]

Timers and Counters are associated with PLC memory types and are used internally by the PLC. Hence they do not need to be communicated on a Modbus network. Hence there is no such thing as Timer or Counter memory in the Modbus memory map.
