ETHERNET:

The Modbus TCP connection must be made using Connector3 and/or Connector4 of HD67508-A1-xxx with at least a Category 5E cable. The
maximum length of the cable should not exceed 100m. The cable has to conform to the T568 norms relative to connections in cat.5 up to
100 Mbps. To connect the device to a Hub/Switch the use of a straight cable is recommended. To connect the device to a PC/PLC/other the
use of a cross cable is recommended.

RS232:

The connection from a RS232 socket to a serial port (example one from a
personal computer) must be made with a NULL MODEM cable (a serial cable
where the pins 2 and 3 are crossed).
It is recommended that the RS232 cable not exceed 15 meters.

ADFweb.com S.r.l.



RS485:

To terminate the RS485 line with a 220 resistor, it is necessary to put dip 1 ON, like in figure.

The maximum length of the cable should be 1200m (4000 feet).

Here some codes of cables:
Belden: p/n 8132 - 2x 28AWG stranded twisted pairs conductor + foil shield + braid shield;
Belden p/n 82842 - 2x 24AWG stranded twisted pairs conductor + foil shield + braid shield;

USE OF COMPOSITOR SW67508:

To configure the Converter, use the available software that runs with
Windows called SW67508. It is downloadable on the site
www.adfweb.com and its operation is described in this document.
(This manual is referenced to the last version of the software present
on our web site). The software works with MSWindows (MS 2000, XP,
Vista, Seven, 8; 32/64bit).

When launching the SW67508, the window on the right appears (Fig.
2).

Note:
It is necessary to have installed .Net Framework 4.

NEW PROJECT / OPEN PROJECT:

The New Project button creates the folder which contains the entire devices configuration.

A devices configuration can also be imported or exported:
To clone the configurations of a programmable Modbus TCP Slave / Modbus Master
Converter in order to configure another device in the same manner, it is necessary to
maintain the folder and all its contents;
To clone a project in order to obtain a different version of the project, it is sufficient to
duplicate the project folder with another name and open the new folder with the button
Open Project.

Figure 2: Main window for SW67508

GENERAL PARAMETER:

This section defines the fundamental communication parameters of two buses,
Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU.

By pressing the General Parameter button from the main window for SW67508
(Fig. 2), the window General Parameter appears (Fig. 3).

The section Operation Mode defines the operation of the Converter in Routing
Mode or NAT Mode (see the description at page 16).

The meanings for the fields of MODBUS TCP are:
In the field IP Address insert the IP address that you want to give to the
slave Modbus TCP;
In the field Subnet Mask insert the SubNet Mask;
In the fields Gateway insert the default gateway that you want to use.
This feature can be enabled or disabled pressing the Check Box field. This
feature is used for going out of the net.
In the field Port the port used for Modbus TCP communication is defined;
Checking Enable UDP Port field it is possible to do a Broadcast request.
This request must be made at Port 64223 ($FADF) with these six byte of
data: $53, $45, $41, $52, $43, $48. Each device in response sends a total
of 10 Bytes. These bytes are four for the IP and the other for the MAC
address (Example of response: 0xC0, 0xA8, 0x01, 0x2A, 0x11, 0x22, 0x33,
0x44, 0x55, 0x58. So the IP is: 192.168.1.42; and the MAC Address: 11-
22-33-44-55-58).
If the field Enable Special Command is checked, it is possible to send a no-Modbus request through the Converter. i.e. a TCP
frame with the first two characters 0x55 and 0xAA is sent in the Modbus RTU line as is. If you dont want to send the first two bytes
(0x55, 0xAA) in the RTU line it is possible to check the field Cancel the first two bytes;
If the field Fast StartUp (only 100Mb/s) is checked, the Converter take less time to go online. This command can use only if the
Converter is used in a 100Mb/s network;
If the field No TCP frame on RTU Timeout is checked, the Converter dont sends back the reply on TCP (error response) if the
Slave RTU interrogated has not replied.

Figure 3: General Parameter window

ADFweb.com S.r.l.



The means for the fields of MODBUS RTU are:
If the field RS232 is checked the serial line in use is the RS232, otherwise is the RS485;
In the field Baud rate the velocity of the Modbus RTU is defined;
In the field Parity the Modbus RTU parity is defined;
Timeout is the maximum time that the device attends for the answer from the Slave interrogated;
In the field RS485 Stop bits the number of Stop-Bit of Modbus RTU is defined;
If the field Enable delay from last receive is checked the Converter, before send another Modbus RTU request, waits the time
written in the field below (expressed in ms).

PING DEVICE:

If it is necessary to do a Ping on the net, before pressing the Ping Device button insert a value in the field on the right and then press the
button.

Note:
In order to do this, the Converter must be in Normal Mode.

Warning:
Under Windows Vista, Seven and 8 you need Administrator Rights to use this command successfully.

ADFweb.com S.r.l.



OPERATION MODE:

ROUTING:

A few characteristics of the Modbus RTU package have been modified in the standard of the Modbus TCP protocol. Two bytes of the final CRC
were eliminated (no longer necessary for the information to reach its already corrected destination). The first byte of the slave identification
was changed, leaving the one that is called PDU. A frame denominated as MBAP header with dimensions of 7 bytes was added to the head of
the PDU.
It is composed by the following:
Word transaction identifier (recopied from the slave in the response phase);
Word protocol identifier (0=Modbus protocol);
Word length (number of successive bytes);
Byte unit identifier (used for the routing operation).

By using the last byte of the MBAP header, it is possible to carry out the routing from a requested Modbus TCP toward a serial line using the
address from the slave which is specified by the byte unit identifier.

Example:
A requested Modbus TCP made in the device as the address 192.168.0.200 for the holding register address $2000, which is MBAP unit
identifier has the value of 2. It will be followed by the request on the serial for the device with the address 2 at the word $2000.
After the request is made, the RTU will respond. The master TCP will be given the same response which will be reconstructed according to
the specifications of the Modbus TCP.

If the RTU slave responds with an exception, that exception code will be transmitted again to the TCP master. If the RTU slave does not
respond in the estimated time defined by the Timeout parameter, an exception response will be given: error code $0B.

NATTING:

When using the operation mode, Natting, the requested data will be processed through a table of translations of the Modbus network
addresses.

ADFweb.com S.r.l.



TRANSLATE TABLE:

Within the section Translate Table you can define the
variables that can be read or written by the TCP bus on
the RTU bus when the device is in NAT mode.

By pressing the Translate Table button from the
main window for SW67507 (Fig. 2), the window Set
Translate Table appears (Fig. 4).

The data of the columns have the following meanings:
In the field Data Type insert the type of data that is being considered;
In the field Address Device TCP insert the virtual address of the device on the TCP Modbus that contains the data;
In the field Address TCP insert the virtual address of the present data in a device in the TCP Modbus;
In the field Address Device RTU insert the address of the device on the RTU Modbus that contains the data;
In the field Address RTU insert the address of the data on the RTU device;
In the field N Point insert the number of consecutive data that you want to configure. For example, you create Address
TCP=1000, Address RTU=100 and N point = 5, the following gets set-up automatically: addresses TCP 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004 and
the variables RTU 101, 102, 103, 104;
In the field Mnemonic you can insert a brief description.
Figure 4: Set Translate Table window

ADFweb.com S.r.l.



Example 1:

If you want, from TCP network, write a data it the RTU
network on the device at:
Address 5;
Through Gateway WORD 100 (Address RTU);
Address TCP 1000.

In the above scenario:

Specify the type of data between:
Coil Status (bit in read write);
Input Status (bit in read);
Holding Register (word in read and write);
Input Register (word in read).

From the side of the MODBUS TCP:
Address of data to read.

From the side of the MODBUS RTU:
Address of the device to interrogate;
Address of data to read on device.

Note:
If the RTU slave responds with an exception, that exception code will be transmitted to the TCP Master. If the RTU slave does not
respond within the estimated time defined by the Timeout parameter, an exception response will be given on TCP side: error code $0B.
