1 Introduction
1 Introduction
Modbus/TCP communication between S7-1500 CPU and S7-1200 CPU is
presented.
The instructions "MB_CLIENT" and "MB_SERVER" are called and parameterized
in the user program of the S7-1200 CPU and the S7-1500 CPU.
The "MB_CLIENT" instruction communicates as Modbus/TCP client over the
PROFINET interface of the CPU. You do not need any additional hardware to use
the instruction. You use the "MB_CLIENT" instruction to establish a connection
between the client and the server, send requests and receive responses, and
control disconnection of the connection.
The "MB_SERVER" instruction communicates as Modbus/TCP server over the
PROFINET interface of the CPU. You do not need any additional hardware to use
the instruction. The "MB_SERVER" instruction processes connection requests of a
Modbus/TCP client, receives requests from Modbus functions and sends response
messages.
In this example, two Modbus functions are connections.
The S7-1500 CPU establishes the first connection as Modbus TCP client. The
S7-1200 CPU is Modbus TCP server.
The S7-1200 CPU establishes the second connection as Modbus TCP client. The
S7-1500 CPU is Modbus TCP server.

2 User Pogram of the S7-1500 CPU

Overview
In the user program of the S7-1500 CPU, the "MB_CLIENT" and "MB_SERVER"
instructions are called for each Modbus/TCP connection with a unique ID and
separate instance. The "MB_CLIENT" and "MB_SERVER" instructions are called
each time in a separate function block.

As Modbus TCP client, the S7-1500 CPU establishes the connection to the
Modbus TCP server (S7-1200 CPU) and sends the request to write the holding
register.

2.1 S7-1500: Modbus TCP-Client

2.1.1 FB1 "ModbusClient"
The function block FB1 "ModbusClient" is called cyclically in OB1.

Figure 2-2

Entry-ID: 102020340, V 3.0, 07/2019 7
The FB1 "ModbusClient" calls the "MB_CLIENT" instruction internally to establish

the Modbus/TCP connection with ID=1 and write the holding register to the Modbus
TCP server.
The communication request to write the holding register is controlled via the
"ModbusData".clientData.request tag at the "request" input.
In this example the Modbus/TCP connection with connection number=1 is
established to Port 502 of the Modbus TCP server. The Modbus TCP server has
the IP address 192.168.0.2.
10 holding registers are written on the remote address 0. For this you set the input
parameters "modbusMode", "modbusDataAddress" and "modbusDataLen" as
follows:
• modbusMode = 116
• modbusDataAddress = 0
• modbusDataLen = 10
2.1.2 Data Structure at the Parameter "connectParamClient"
Use the following structure for connection description according to TCON_IP_v4 for
programmed connections at the "connectParamClient" input.
• Make sure that you specify connections only of the TCP type in the
TCON_IP_v4 structure.
• The connection must not use the following TCP port numbers: 20, 21, 25, 80,
102, 123, 5001, 34962, 34963 and 34964.

The figure below shows the structure of TCON_IP_v4 with the name
"connectParamClient". You specify this structure at the "connectParamClient"
parameter of the FB "ModbusClient". A description of the parameters of the
"TCON_IP_v4" structure is available in chapter 5.

sent to the Modbus TCP server. The data that is written to the holding register of
the Modbus TCP server is stored in the data block DB3 "HoldingRegisterWrite".

The FB1 "ModbusClient" calls the "MB_CLIENT" instruction internally to establish

the Modbus/TCP connection with ID=2 and read the holding register from the
Modbus TCP server.
The communication request to read the holding register is controlled via the
"ModbusData".clientData.request tag at the "request" input.
In this example the Modbus TCP connection with connection number=2 is
established to Port 505 of the Modbus TCP server. The Modbus TCP server has
the IP address 192.168.0.3.
10 holding registers are read on the remote address 0. For this you set the input
parameters "modbusMode", "modbusDataAddress" and "modbusDataLen" as
follows:
• modbusMode = 103
• modbusDataAddress = 0
• modbusDataLen = 10

of the connection to and disconnection from the
Modbus TCP server.
• 0: establishment of communication connection
to the configured connection partner

You use this parameter to control when a
connection request is accepted.
• 0: if there is no communication connection, a
passive connection is established.
• 1: initialization of the connection status. If the
input is set, no other processes are executed.
After successful disconnection of the
connection the value 0x0003 is output at the
"status" output.

Modbus functions 3 (read), 6 (write) and 16 (write
multiple).
As memory area you use a global data block (DB)
with optimized access or the memory area of the
markers.

4.3 Parameter "modbusMode" and "modbusDataAddress"

For the values 0 and 1 of "modbusMode" the combination of the parameters
"modbusModus", "modbusDataAddress" and "modbusDataLen" define the Modbus
function code that is used in the current message:
• "modbusMode" contains the information whether the job is reading or writing.
– 0: Read
– 1: Write
• "modbusDataAddress" contains the information about what is to be read or
written, as well as address information from which the "MB_CLIENT"
instruction calculates the remote address.
• "modbusDataLen" includes the number of values to be read / written.
The following holds for the values 101 to 116 of "modbusMode":

• "modbusMode" defines the Modbus function code.
• "modbusDataAddress includes the remote address.
• "modbusDataLen" includes the number of values to be read / written.

True: active connection establishment
False: passive connection establishment
6 to 9 RemoteAddress ARRAY [1..4] IP address of the remote connection partner.

of BYTE
10 to RemotePort UINT Port number of the remote connection partner (value
11 range: 1 to 49151).
• MB_CLIENT: Use the IP port number of the server
to which the client establishes a connection and
communicates over the TCP/IP protocol.
• MB_SERVER: Use the IP port number of the client
from which the connection request is to be
accepted. If the "MB_SERVER" instruction is to
accept connection requests from any remote
connection partner, use "0" as the port number.
12 to LocalPort UINT Port number of the local connection partner (value
13 range: 1 to 49151).
• MB_CLIENT:
– Port numbers: 1 to 49151
– Any port: 0
• MB_SERVER: The number of the IP port defines
which IP port is monitored for connection requests
of the Modbus client.
