The ILX34-MBS485 is a programmable controller manufactured by Prosoft. It is a third-party product and can be connected to the Controllogix system to achieve serial communication over Modbus RTU protocol. This controller can be used with the 1734-AENTR module for access via EtherNet/IP networks.
The use process of ILX34-MBS485 module can be divided into three steps: hardware configuration, importing AOI (Add-On Instruction) provided by the manufacturer, and configuration serial port parameters. During the hardware configuration phase, you need to build a new project in the Studio 5000 software and add the ILX34-MBS485 module. Then, you need to set connection parameters and communication formats. When importing the AOI provided by the vendor, you need to add a cascade to the Main Routine and import the AOI provided by the vendor. L5X file. Finally, in the configuration stage of serial port parameters, it is necessary to set serial port parameters, including data bit, stop bit, check bit, etc.
In addition, the ILX34-MBS485 module also provides error codes and status information, which can be obtained through the program. These error codes and status information can help users diagnose and resolve faults. At the same time, the module also supports the GSV instruction, which can obtain the hardware error code and status information of the module.
The main application scenario of ILX34-MBS485 module is in the industrial automation system which needs to implement serial communication of Modbus RTU protocol. It can be used as a master or slave station to communicate with other smart instruments or devices that support the Modbus RTU protocol, collecting and sending data.
Specifically, the ILX34-MBS485 module can be used in the following scenarios:
In the Controllogix system, data needs to be collected from several smart meters, and these meters communicate over Modbus RTU. Through ILX34-MBS485 module, these instruments can be easily connected to the system to realize data acquisition and processing.
In the industrial automation system, the data of some equipment needs to be sent to the superior system or cloud platform through the Modbus RTU protocol. ILX34-MBS485 module can be used as a transparent transmission channel of data to achieve data upload and delivery.
In some special application scenarios, Modbus RTU may be used for communication between devices. The ILX34-MBS485 module can be used as a communication bridge to realize data exchange and control between different devices.
