Driver Manual  
1. Modbus Plus Description  
The Modbus Plus driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices using  
Modbus Plus protocol. The FieldServer can emulate either a Server or Client.  
The information that follows describes how to expand upon the factory defaults provided in the  
configuration files included with the FieldServer.  
The FieldServer is shipped with the switches set of a default address of 11.  
Set the Modbus Plus address switches 1--6 to the address in your application. Switches 7 and 8  
are not used.  
Switch 1 is the least significant bit of the address. Switch 6 is the most significant bit. The address  
will be one higher than the binary value you set into the switches.

Modbus Plus Card Indicators  
The Modbus Plus card has an indicator that flashes a repetitive pattern to show its network  
communication status, plus two indicators which identify communication errors on the two  
Modbus Plus cable paths. Note that one error indicator will be lit normally in single-cable  
installations, showing that a second cable does not exist.  
Table 3: Modbus Plus Active Indicator Patterns  
Indicator Pattern (Green)  
Six flashes/second  
Status  
Normal operating state. All nodes on a healthy  
network flash this pattern  
One flash/second  
The node is off-line. After being in this state for 5  
seconds, the node attempts to go to its normal  
operating state.  
Two flashes, then OFF for 2 The node detects the network token being passed  
seconds  
among other nodes, but it never receives the  
token.  
Three flashes, then OFF for  
1.7 seconds  
The node does not detect any token passing on the  
network.  
Four flashes, then OFF for  
1.4 seconds  
The node has detected another node using the  
same address.

Driver Manual  
2. FieldServer as a Modbus Plus Client  
2.1 Hardware Connections  
It is possible to connect a Modbus RTU device to any of the eight RS232 ports or two RS485  
ports. These ports just need to be configured for Modbus RTU in the configuration file.  
Configure the PLC according to manufacturer’s instructions.  
2.2 Configuration File Structure  
Refer to section 4.1 of the Instruction Manual for a description of the operation principle  
of the FieldServer. The following tables describe parameters that need to be filled out in  
the configuration file. For convenience, a few example parameters already exist in the  
supplied PRIMSERV.CSV and SECDSERV.CSV files.  
Note that * indicates an optional parameter, with the bold legal value being the default.

establishment. In general, the first number is the Destination BM85 MAC address,  
the second number represents the internal path, and the third number is the  
destination node. This varies if the BM85 is not connected to the FieldServer.

3.3 Examples of FieldServer setup for typical clients  
MSTR Example: Modbus Plus Node  
This example shows a Modicon Modsoft screen for an MSTR function in a Modbus Plus  
node. It writes one register of data to a virtual node in the FieldServer.  
H
H
H
H
The MSTR Function Code specifies a Write operation  
One register of data is to be transferred  
The destination register is 40000 (addressed as register 1).  
The FieldServer’s node address is 1. Note that the decimal value 1025  
equals 0401 hexadecimal, addressing a Modbus Plus Network Option  
Module (NOM) in backplane slot 04 and a node at address 01.  
H
The destination index is 28. The FieldServer will forward the message to  
the TCP node whose IP address is in this location in the FieldServer’s TCP  
Mapping table.
