Modbus / Re: Allen Bradley micro logix and Modbus

Don't know why but Mach can't read the input or holding registers or the AB PLC won't let Mach read them  Mach's mod test page gives a( Illegal Data )MSG
Does the 5 place AB modbus address mapping have any thing to do with it


here are the AB address mapping

Modbus / Allen Bradley micro logix and Modbus

« on: December 07, 2008, 03:54:00 PM »

I have Mach3 and a AB micro logix 1100 plc and trying to communicate with modbus
currently there are talking and the coils can be written to and read only in binary not word format contacts are the same way

AB modbus registors are like this

coils  ( 0001 to 4096)
contacts ( 10001 to 14096 )
Holding ( 40001 to 40256 )
inputs ( 30001 to 30256 )

ya it not to bad of a job about half of the work is done for you you can use the old rs232 port on the side of the box Or redirect step Dir pins from your PC
then the plastic connectors that are on stepper control a person can tap int the step Dir pins
