M340 EGD Overview

General Description
The M340 EGD is a network device that allows the Unity M340 PLC to communicate
with legacy Modbus Plus devices. Existing Modbus Plus device applications do not
have to be modified to communicate with M340. The M340 EGD accommodates
PLC CPU platform addressing and communications function differences between
M340 and other PLC platforms (including 984LL). The M340 EGD is a key
component for Modbus Plus PLC users looking to introduce the M340 to their
Modbus Plus network, or to incrementally migrate from other PLC models to M340
and Unity.
The M340 EGD operates by continuously exchanging data between the Ethernet
interface of M340 and a Modbus Plus network, including Modbus Plus Peer Cop and
Global Data. This allows the M340 to participate as a Peer Cop or Global Data node
in a Modbus Plus network. The data is refreshed cyclically with the Modbus Plus
token rotation (see page 119).
The M340 EGD monitors the operational state of the M340 PLC. When M340 PLC
operational state is in Run mode the M340 EGD will check the PLC operational state
at a rate of 1/2 the Peer Cop Health Timeout. If the PLC operational state goes to
Stop mode the M340 EGD will stop sending Peer Cop and Global Data. When M340
PLC operational state is in Stop mode the M340 EGD will check the PLC operational
state at a rate of 10 ms. If PLC state goes to Run mode the M340 EGD will start
sending Peer Cop and Global Data.
The M340 EGD uses 5 of the 8 available transactions processed per M340 CPU
scan, allowing additional transactions for Unity programming and monitoring of
M340. For peer to peer M340 communications over Ethernet, an M340 NOE is
recommended to allow the M340 access to the M340 EGD.
Unity programming is also supported through the M340 EGD from a Modbus Plus
equipped Unity station to the M340.

How the M340 EGD Manages Modbus Plus Nodes and the M340 Platform
The M340 EGD accommodates the register types and starting address differences
between Modbus Plus nodes and the Unity M340 platform.
NOTE: Legacy Modbus Plus devices support four data types: 0x, 1x, 3x and 4x. The
M340 on Unity supports two data types: %M (bits) and %MW (words).
The M340 EGD uses an offset value applied to 1x and 3x registers to separate them
from 0x and 4x. The offset value used by the M340 EGD points to a location in M340
memory separate from 0x and 4x requests. This requires that the M340 application
0x requests for output bits are passed on to %M location in M340 by the M340 EGD,
while requests for 1x input bits are redirected by the M340 EGD to a separate %M
location.

12 EIO0000000245 12/2009
 Introduction

The same applies for 3x and 4x. Requests for 4x are passed on natively to %MW
memory locations while the requests for 3x are redirected to a separate location in
%MW M340 memory.
There is also a feature in the M340 EGD to increment requests by 1 for applications
that have been converted from Concept/ProWORX to accommodate the differences
in starting register locations between platforms. The M340 CPU starts addressing at
%M0 and %MW0. Concept/ProWORX application CPUs start at 000001, 100001,
300001 and 400001. Applications converted from Concept and ProWORX will have
a starting register of %M1/%MW1. The offset by 1 feature of the M340 EGD
redirects communications by 1 to reflect the difference.
For more information about M340 offset register management and configuring
offsets (see page 70).

Configuring the M340 EGD

The M340 EGD is configured by means of an on-board web server (see page 63).
The web server can be accessed using Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher and
Java 1.5 or higher. For any configuration change to take effect, the change must be
saved in the M340 EGD. The M340 EGD must then be rebooted, which can be done
remotely via the web interface. In addition, M340 EGD configuration files can be
backed up to your PC and restored from your PC to the M340 EGD using the M340
EGD Configuration Management Utility. You can also export and then print (in
Microsoft Excel) concise reports of the current M340 EGD configuration with the
same utility.

Connecting the M340 EGD

The M340 EGD Ethernet interface should be directly connected to the M340 CPU
Ethernet port or an M340 NOE. Because the connection from the M340 EGD to the
M340 CPU Ethernet interface is RJ45 Ethernet, cabinet location of the M340 EGD
is flexible up to 100 meters.
NOTE: Install the M340 EGD close enough to the M340 to allow visual diagnostics.

Other Features of the M340 EGD

The M340 EGD uses LED diagnostic flash codes consistent with other Modicon
Modbus Plus products and supports:
z redundant Modbus Plus cabling
z redundant 24 Vdc power connections, which can include the M340 24 Vdc sensor
bus power supply output as a source

 Introduction

About Modbus Plus

Communication Method
The Modbus Plus protocol is based on a logical token bus (token rotation). Each
node on the network needs to be assigned a unique address in the range 1 to 64,
and a node can access the network once it receives the token. A Modbus Plus
communication channel supports three primary functions:
z Point-to-point data exchanges between nodes using the MSTR function block.
The MSTR function block can be used for transferring, reading and clearing
statistics, and accessing the network’s global database. The MSTR is a general
function for transacting messages with any type of networked node. It is
programmed into the user logic program of the legacy controller.
NOTE: Quantum PLC/Compact PLC use the MSTR function block;
Premium PLC/M340 PLC use Read_Var and Write_Var functions instead. Refer to
the appendix for an example of using the Read_Var function block (see page 123).
z Cyclic broadcast exchanges of global data between participating nodes.
When a node rotates the token, it can broadcast up to 32 words (16 bits each) of
global information to all other nodes on the network. The information is contained
in the token frame. The process of sending global data when transmitting the
token is controlled independently by the application program in each node.
z Multi-point exchange of specific data via Peer Cop.
Specific inputs and outputs act as a point-to-point-service. Every message
contains one or more receive addresses for transferring the data. This function
enables data to be forwarded to several stations without repetition.
Modbus Plus networks can be interconnected using Modbus Plus bridges. The
M340 EGD supports full 5 byte routing across up to 4 Modbus Plus networks to a
node destination.

M340 Offset Data Management

Understanding why M340 Data is Offset

The starting location for bits in an M340 PLC is %M0. Because legacy Modbus Plus
input (1x) and output (0x) bits are both referenced by %M, inputs must be stored
separately from outputs in a separate M340 PLC memory location. Outputs in the
M340 PLC read from Modbus Plus nodes are directed as programmed, but the
M340 must place input bits in an available memory location apart from the output
bits.
The M340 application must be modified to separate the 1x %Ms from 0x %Ms, as
well as 3x from 4x. The programmer needs to identify the input bits and registers and
locate them elsewhere in M340 memory. Where they are relocated determines the
offset for Modbus Plus functions such as HMI, SCADA, and MSTR. Note that the
1x/3x offset values do not apply to Peer Cop and global data source or destination.
You must insert the exact location from which to retrieve or to send global data and
Peer Cop data.

Data Type Offsets

An offset is a method of separating data in a device. This feature is used in the M340
EGD because the memory structures of the M340 PLC and Compact PLCs are
different. The Compact PLCs support four memory address types, while the M340
PLC supports just two memory types.
To allow these different PLC types to communicate, the M340 PLC register types
must be further divided into four types to inter-operate with Compact PLCs. The
method for doing this is offsets.

Compact PLC M340 PLC M340 PLC using the M340 EGD
0x output bits %M IO bits %M output bit memory space
1x input bit %M input bit memory space (offset)
3x input registers %MW input register memory space (offset)
4x holding registers %MW registers %MW holding register memory space

To manage the offsets, the M340 PLC application must provide range in memory to
separate the two different bit types and the two different register types. The M340
PLC application allocates a memory range for:
z %M I/O bits
z %MW register words

Without this separation by allocating memory, communication requests from a

Compact PLC and M340 PLC would be reading and writing to the same memory
range. For example a Compact request for 00001 and 100001 would both be passed
to %M0.

20 EIO0000000245 12/2009
 Introduction

To manage this conflict, the M340 PLC programmer identifies two additional
memory ranges for input bits and input registers. When developing the M340 PLC
application, choose a free range in memory for %M input bits and %MW input
registers large enough to accommodate the application. The difference between the
starting location %M0 for example, and the starting location for input bits is called
the offset.
The default offset range for input bits (1x data type) and input registers (3x data type)
is 2048. This is an upper memory area that is out of reach for default Compact PLC
applications but easily addressable using the increased memory capacity of M340.
Using default offset ranges, communications from a Compact PLC are forwarded
directly or redirected to the offset range depending on the data type. Only the 1x and
3x Modbus functions are redirected.
NOTE: The automatic application of the offset redirection only applies to Modbus
functions such as MSTR blocks on Compact PLC’s, HMI and SCADA type requests.
Peer Cop and global data functions are not automatically redirected to the offset
range space.
An example of a SCADA system on Modbus Plus making four Modbus function
requests for different data types would be as follows using the default 2048 offset for
1x and 2048 for 3x.

SCADA requests 400001 passes the request request received at %MW0

M340 Applications and Data Type Offsets

The offset values for the redirected data types, 1x and 3x are user-configurable. The
M340 PLC application programmer must locate objects that represent input bits and
input registers in the M340 PLC application. Objects representing input bit are
located in the %M offset range space and objects representing input registers are
located in the %MW offset range space.

Evaluate your M340 PLC application and find a range of free memory to locate the
objects representing the two additional object data types for input bits and input
registers. Assign the starting memory location of that range as your M340 EGD
offset value for each of the two data types.

 Introduction

Legacy Compatibility Offset Option

The Legacy Compatibility option is used to accommodate applications that have
been converted to Unity from legacy platforms such as Concept, ProWORX, or
Modsoft. Because of the different memory structures of the M340 PLC and 984 type
platforms, there is a difference in the starting register. The starting registers for 984
PLC systems are 000001, 100001, 300001 and 400001. The starting registers for
the M340 PLC are %M0 and %MW0.
When an application is converted from 984 to Unity on the M340 PLC, the registers
are located plus 1 from the starting address. For example, after conversion, 400001
ends up after conversion at %MW1 instead of the M340 PLC starting register of
%MW0.
With the legacy compatibility offset option OFF, Modbus Plus requests to the M340
PLC for register 400001 would be forwarded to %MW0. To access the location
where the converted value is, the legacy compatibility option ON offsets this request
plus 1 to %MW1 where the register actually resides. See the following table for
examples with and without the legacy compatibility option.
A converted application with the legacy compatibility option off:

Modbus Plus Request M340 EGD M340 PLC

000001 no offset %M0
100001 redirect with offset %M2048
300001 redirects with offset %MW2048
400001 no offset %MW0

A converted application with the legacy compatibility option on:

Modbus Plus Request M340 EGD M340 PLC

000001 no offset + 1 %M1
100001 redirect with offset %M2049
300001 redirects with offset %MW2049
400001 no offset + 1 %MW1

NOTE: The Legacy Compatibility Option applies to Modbus function requests

(MSTR, SCADA, HMI) and Peer Cop global data requests.
Though requests are redirected by the M340 EGD, responses are returned to the
normal requested response location. The operation of this option is transparent to
the requesting Modbus Plus nodes. This allows existing Modbus Plus nodes to
communicate unmodified with the different memory structure of the M340 PLC.
NOTE: Enabling or disabling the Legacy Compatibility option will automatically
update your configuration table for global data and Peer Cop.

EIO0000000245 12/2009 23
Introduction

Peer Cop, Global Data, and Offsets

Peer Cop and global data do not apply Data Type Offsets, but do apply the Legacy
Compatibility Option offset. Recall that data type offsets only apply to Modbus
function requests. When entering source and destination reference locations for
Peer Cop and global data you must enter the actual location of the data object where
it exists in the M340 PLC. If you select the Legacy Compatibility Option, all Peer
Cop, Modbus functions, and global data requests are redirected with an offset +1.
For example if you have relocated your M340 PLC input bits and input registers
using the default setting of 2048, enter the following values for Peer Cop. This
example represents the 4 different data type options for Specific Input to receive
data from another Modbus Plus node for each of the data types starting register.
Note that the location for input bits (1x) and input registers (3x) must be explicit and
the data objects must exist in the M340 PLC application at the locations shown.

 Introduction

Setting the M340 Global Address Fields

Configure the M340 CPU PLC memory to accommodate 2048 %M IO bits plus the
number of inputs required for your application and 3084 %MW words. For %MW
words, there is 1024 words for the input registers between the default starting offset
of 2048 and the starting default offset for Peer Cop Health 3072+12 words. You can
adjust these values to your application as required.

Peer Cop Health writes 12 words to the M340 CPU starting by default at %MW3072.
To accommodate the Health block at this default location, configure the CPU for a
minimum of %MW3084 words. If these 12 words are not configured in the CPU and
reserved for the Health block, Peer Cop and Global Data services are disabled on
Modbus Plus.
Using Comm Functions in the M340
When using Comm functions such as Read_Var or Write_Var in the M340 CPU,
insert a nonzero value in the timeout register of the Management Parameter table of
each function. A value of zero in the register imposes an infinite timeout, and you will
not be able to recover the function after a connection has been interrupted.

 Introduction

Planning M340 Memory Partitions with the M340 EGD

The objective is to identify the starting location of free memory in which to locate
input bits and input registers. This requires evaluating the highest memory address
location of output bits and holding registers. You need to identify an area above
those values to locate a starting range for input bits and registers.
For example, if your M340 PLC application maintains an address location for output
bits of 000512 or %M512, you need to establish a 1x offset of 513 or above to
prevent an overwrite conflict. If your application maintains an address location for
holding registers of 401840, you need to establish 401841 or greater for input
registers. In both cases, establish in the memory partitioning enough addressable
space to accommodate the application.

Existing Application Input Bits or Offset M340

Memory Registers Partition
Output Bits 000512 512 513 1025+
Holding Registers 401840 1024 1841 2865+

You must make sure that the 1x/3x offset plus the addressable input bits and
registers are a valid, partitioned memory location in the M340 PLC. Not allocating
addressable memory will result in the M340 EGD recording Modbus Exception
errors writing to that location. Refer to the M340 EGD RUN LED (see page 56) flash
code status. The M340 EGD will flash the RUN LED 3x at 500ms intervals if the area
of memory in the M340 PLC is not available and the M340 EGD configuration is
attempting reads and writes to that address location.

3.5 Connecting the M340 EGD to PE (Protective Earth)

M340 EGD PE Connection

How PE Contact is Made

PE is brought to the M340 EGD by a heavy-duty cross-sectional wire, usually a
copper braided cable, 10 AWG (4.2 mm2) or larger. The wire needs to be tied to a
single grounding point. The ground conductor connects to the M340 EGD just below
the redundant power supply connector and is secured by the PE captive screw.

3.6 Configuring the IP Address

The IP Address Configuration Process

Introduction
To use the M340 EGD module’s embedded web pages to assign the desired IP
address, you can either use the Bootp setting and a Bootp server to assign an IP
address, or use the module’s default IP address.
The following procedure shows how to access the module using the default IP
address.
This process includes the following parts:
z determine the M340 EGD module’s default IP address
z modify your PC’s local area connection to connect to the M340 EGD default IP
address
z configure the module’s IP address
z save the IP address configuration and reboot the module to enable the newly
configures IP address of the M340 EGD

How to Determine the Default IP Address

When the module is first powered up (before it is initially configured) it uses a default
IP address, which is based upon its MAC address. Before you can connect to the
M340 EGD module, you must first determine its default IP address, as follows:

Step Action
1 Obtain the MAC address from the front of the module.
2 Write down the last two bytes of the MAC address.
3 Convert the last two bytes from Hexadecimal to Decimal. For example, if the MAC
address is 00:00:54:12:AB:CD, the last 2 bytes are AB:CD.
NOTE: You can perform a hexadecimal to decimal conversion by using a Windows
calculator in scientific mode. Access the Windows calculator at Start → Programs
→ Accessories → Calculator.
4 Create the 4 byte default IP address by concatenating the last two bytes of the MAC
address (converted to Decimal) to the first two byes, which are always 85.16. In this
example, because the last 2 bytes of the MAC address are AB:CD (hex) their
decimal values are 171.205, and the default IP address is 85.16.171.205.

M340 Register Offset Setup

Different Offset Types

When designing or converting an application to M340 Unity, use offsets to define
starting locations in M340 memory for different types of data:
z a bit offset to separate standard input bits from standard output bits and keep
these inputs and outputs from overwriting each other
z a word offset to separate standards input words from standard output words and
keep these inputs and outputs from overwriting each other
z a word offset to separate the Peer Cop health status block from standard input
and output words and from actual Peer Cop/Global data words
z an optional legacy compatibility offset that will increment all %M and %MW
values by 1 to maintain numbering consistency in the output bits and words
between a converted legacy application (written using 0x and 4x references) and
a Unity application (using %M and %MW references)

CAUTION
Overwritten Memory Locations
Make sure that the offsets are configured such that all input and output data are
segregated into different areas of M340 PLC memory.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

NOTE: Standard inputs and outputs are data transmitted to the M340 PLC from
Modbus functions such as MSTR blocks, and HMI and SCADA requests. Peer Cop
and Global Data functions are not automatically redirected by these offset settings;
this data must be addressed manually by a programmer on the Global Output
(see page 73), Specific Output (see page 77), Global Input (see page 75), and/or
Specific Input (see page 79) setup pages.

1x Bit Offset
M340 register offsets The M340 EGD provides a default 1x (input bit) offset at
%M2049 (if the legacy compatibility offset in enabled, %M2048 if it is disabled). You
may change the default if it suits your application.
If you change the offset, the value must be on a 16-bit boundary:
z %M0, %M15, %M31, ... %M32607 if the legacy compatibility offset is disabled
z %M1, %M16, %M32, ... %M32608 if the legacy compatibility offset is enabled

Be sure to set the offset to a value that is greater than the number of standard output
bits in your application.

3x Register Offset
M340 register offsets The M340 EGD provides a default 3x (input word) offset at
%MW2049 (if the legacy compatibility offset in enabled, %MW2048 if it is disabled).
You may change the default if it suits your application.
If you change the offset, the value may be an integer in range:
z 0 ... 32463 if the legacy compatibility offset is disabled
z 1 ... 32464 if the legacy compatibility offset is enabled

Be sure to set the offset to a value that is greater than the number of standard output
words in your application.

Legacy Compatibility Offset 0x & 4x by 1

Check the Legacy Compatibility Offset 0x & 4x by 1 checkbox if you want to
enable this feature. When this offset is enabled, the default %M and %MW values
in M340 memory are all incremented by 1. The first bit value becomes %M1, and the
first word value becomes %MW1. 0x, 1x, 3x, and 4x values on the Modbus Plus side
of the application remain the same, i.e., the option is transparent to the requesting
Modbus Plus nodes. This operation allows existing Modbus Plus nodes to
communicate unmodified with the different memory structure of the M340 PLC.
When this option is enabled, it increments Peer Cop/Global Data reference values
in M340 PLC memory as well as standard I/O reference values. When you enable
or disable this checkbox, you can see the values that have been entered on the
Global Output (see page 73), Specific Output (see page 77), Global Input
(see page 75), and Specific Input (see page 79) setup pages increment or
decrement accordingly.

EIO0000000245 12/2009 71

Starting Address of Peer Cop Health Status

The value in this field indicates the starting location of the 12-word Peer Cop and
Global Data Health block (see page 92). By default, the value is 3073 (if legacy
compatibility offset is enabled, 3072 if it is disabled).
This block lets you monitor the health of the M340 EGD Modbus Plus Peer Cop and
Global Data from the M340 application. Each bit represents the health of the
received or transferred data for each node, where 0 = unhealthy and 1 = healthy.
If the starting address is %MW3072, the 12 words would be arranged in the block
as follows:
z %MW3072 ... %MW3075 indicate global input health
z %MW3076 ... %MW3079 indicate Peer Cop-specific output
z %MW3080 ... %MW3083 indicate Peer Cop-specific input

M340 PLC Application Monitoring and Peer Cop Health Status

The M340 EGD writes Peer Cop health information to a default M340 PLC address
%MW3072 every 20 ms. However, if the communications between the M340 PLC
and M340 EGD are disrupted due to a lost Ethernet link, the M340 PLC will retain
the last value state for Peer Cop health.
It is recommended that you monitor connectivity between the M340 PLC and the
M340 EGD using application logic. For example:
1. Program a Read_Var to read the M340 EGD address 24804 for a length of 1
register. This will return the number of active connections the M340 EGD has to
the M340 PLC. A response integer value of 5 indicates a healthy connection
status between the M340 EGD and M340 PLC. Trigger the Read_Var 1/4-1/2 of
the Health Timeout value.
2. Use supporting logic timers to monitor response times for the Read_Var, 1/4-1/2
of the Health Timeout value.
3. Should the response timer expire, reset Peer Cop health bits to 0.
4. The Read_Var exception should only clear Peer Cop health bits on exception
response. A successful response maintains the Peer Cop health values written
by the M340 EGD to the M340 PLC.
5. Once communications between the M340 EGD and M340 PLC are restored, the
M340 EGD will once again start writing the Peer Cop health block.

nodes will accept all or portions of all M340 output data. The M340 supports Modbus
Plus Global Output data of up to 32 words. Only one Global Output source can be
configured.
NOTE: M340 also supports global data over Ethernet which is configured directly on
the M340. To support Modbus Plus Global Data on M340, you must configure the
M340 EGD to support Modbus Plus Global Data.

Modbus Plus Peer Cop Global Input Setup

Global Input Configuration

Global Input allows the M340 EGD to receive up to 32 words per node—up to a
maximum of 500 words total—on the local Modbus Plus network. The M340 EGD
Global Input configuration determines which data to accept from each node. The
subfields allow the M340 EGD to select up to 8 subfield references from each node
indexed with length. This allows the M340 to receive multiple portions of data from
the global output block of other nodes.

Configuring the Global Input Parameters

Configure the Global Input parameters as follows:

Step Action
1 Open the Global Input Configuration page by navigating to Setup → Modbus Plus Peer Cop →
Global Input.
2 In the Source Node list, select a node from which data is to be received. Available nodes are: 1...64.
3 Configure the first subfield—Subfield 1—by entering settings for the following parameters.
NOTE: The M340 EGD can receive up to 32 words from each node; up to 8 subfields can be defined per
node.
Data Type Select the type of data to be received:
z %M-I/O Bits
z %MW-Registers

Destination Type in the starting reference (%M or %MW) of the destination in the M340 for Global Input
Reference data received. A %M reference must begin on a 16 bit boundary.
NOTE: The acceptable range of values depends upon the settings of the following fields:
z the Data Type setting, above, and
z the Legacy Compatibility Offset 0x & 4x by 1 setting entered in the
M340 Register Offsets Setup (see page 70) page.
For data type %M with the legacy compatibility offset:
z enabled, the range is 1...32609, in increments of 16
z disabled, the range is 0...32608, in increments of 16

For data type %MW with the legacy compatibility offset:

z enabled, the range is 1...32463, in increments of 1
z disabled, the range is 0...32463, in increments of 1

Index (1-32) Type in the starting location of the Global Output data to be read. This field, together with
the Length field, lets the M340 EGD Global Input configuration to read all or a portion of
the Global Output data from another PLC.
For example, if 32 words of Global Output data were sent by another PLC, but only the last
4 words were needed by M340, the Index value would be 28 and the Length would be 4.
This allows the M340 to conserve RAM by accepting only the data it requires.
Length Type in the number of words to be read field length for each subfield, an integer value from
1...32. Each word contains 16 discrete references.
NOTE: Setting the length to 0 disables the Global Input subfield from this node.
Bin/BCD Select the data format:
z BCD (binary coded decimal)
z BIN (binary)

NOTE: This format is used for data conversion before the data is delivered to its
destination. %M references are supplied only as binary data.
Use the Clear All Subfields command to return all numeric parameters to 0 for all subfield entries.

Modbus Plus Routing Table Setup

Modbus Plus Routing Table

The Modbus Plus routing table allows M340 communications function blocks, such
as Read_Var and Write_Var, to send requests on to nodes on local and remote
Modbus Plus networks. Use a 5-byte Modbus Plus routing scheme, where 1.2.3.4.5
routes an M340 communication function to node 5 across 4 bridges.
This feature extends M340 capability by redirection. For example, pointing a
Read_Var to destination index 10 can redirect that request to devices crossing
Modbus Plus bridges depending upon how row 10 is configured (in the routing table)
for Modbus routing index 1-5. The final routing destination will be to the last non zero
value starting at the first byte.

Configuring the Routing Table

Use the Routing Table to define network paths to nodes on the Modbus Plus
network, as follows:

Step Action
1 Open the M340 Routing Table Configuration page by navigating to Setup →
M340 Interface → Routing Table.
2 Enter the first Modbus Plus path into the routing table at Destination Index 1, by
completing one or more of the Modbus Plus Routing Index values.
NOTE:
z By default the index will point an M340 communication request to a logical
Modbus Plus node. For example requests for index number 10 will be directed to
Modbus Plus node 10.0.0.0.0. The index however can redirect M340 request to
nodes on remote Modbus Plus networks. For example, to send an M340 request
to node 20 across a Modbus Plus bridge at address 15 using index value 10
would be entered as 15.20.0.0.0.
z The index for routing is 1-n by default. Index 1 points to Modbus Plus node 1.
However, node 1 or node 10 can be pointed in a completely different direction.
Pointing a Read_Var to node 10 could route the request off of the local Modbus
Plus network to a remote destination. M340 function blocks only support a single
index value.
Modbus Plus Enter integer values in up to five cells for a Modbus Plus routing
Routing Index index item (row). the 5 cells in a row provide the path information
(1 to 5) that steers messages along the proper route to reach its related
node destination. The value range of cell position 1 is 0 to 64; the
value range of cells 2 through 5 is 0 to 254.
A route of 0.0.0.0.0 disables the route for an Index. Any request
directed to an Index whose Modbus Plus Routing Index is
0.0.0.0.0, will result in following exception response: Target
Device Unavailable.
3 Add additional Modbus Plus path destination indexes, by repeating step 2 as many
times as necessary. You can enter up to 254 Modbus Plus routing indexes.

Modbus Exception Code Table

The following table lists the codes that may be returned in a Modbus exception
response.

Name Name Meaning

01 illegal function The function code received in the query is not an allowable action for the server. This may
be because the function code is only applicable to newer devices, and was not
implemented in the unit selected. It could also indicate that the server is in the wrong state
to process a request of this type, for example because it is unconfigured and is being asked
to return register values.
02 illegal data The data address received in the query is not an allowable address for the server. More
address specifically, the combination of reference number and transfer length is invalid. For a
controller with 100 registers, the PDU (protocol data unit) addresses the first register as 0,
and the last one as 99. If a request is submitted with a starting register address of 96 and
a quantity of registers of 4, then this request will successfully operate (address-wise at
least) on registers 96, 97, 98, and 99. If a request is submitted with a starting register
address of 96 and a quantity of registers of 5, then this request will not succeed with
Exception Code 0x02 Illegal Data Address since it attempts to operate on registers 96, 97,
98, 99 and 100, and there is no register with address 100.
03 illegal data A value contained in the query data field is not an allowable value for the server. This
value indicates a fault in the structure of the remainder of a complex request, such as that the
implied length is incorrect. It specifically does not mean that a data item submitted for
storage in a register has a value outside the expectation of the application program, since
the Modbus protocol is unaware of the significance of any particular value of any particular
register.
04 slave device An unrecoverable error occurred while the server was attempting to perform the requested
failure action.
05 acknowledge The server has accepted the request and is processing it, but a long duration of time will be
required to do so. This response is returned to prevent a timeout from occurring in the client.
The client can next issue a Poll Program Complete message to determine if processing is
completed.
06 slave device The server is engaged in processing a long–duration program command. The client should
busy retransmit the message later when the server is free.
07 negative The server cannot perform the program function received in the query. This code is
acknowledge returned for an unsuccessful programming request using function code 13 or 14. The client
should request diagnostic information from the server.
08 memory parity Specialized use in conjunction with function codes 20 and 21 and reference type 6, to
error indicate that the extended file area did not pass a consistency check.
0A gateway path Specialized use in conjunction with gateways, indicates that the gateway was unable to
unavailable allocate an internal communication path from the input port to the output port for processing
the request. Usually means that the gateway is misconfigured or overloaded.
0B gateway target No response received from the target device (the gateway generated this exception).
device failed to
respond

M340 EGD Performance and

Communication Planning
A
Overview

Introduction
As the M340 EGD exchanges data on Ethernet with the M340 CPU Ethernet
interface, and with Modbus Plus nodes using the embedded Modbus Plus interface,
there are variables which affect overall communications performance.

M340 EGD and the M340 Modbus Server

The key performance variables for M340 Ethernet communications are TCP socket
availability and M340 CPU scan time. The M340 EGD opens 5 sockets for
transaction processing per M340 CPU scan of the 8 transactions available per CPU
scan on the M340 (refer to the figure below).

5 sockets used for Global Data,

Peer Cop, and Modbus functions
originating on Modbus Plus

Proxy opens 5 TCP sockets If 5 sockets are not available

on M340 Modbus server on M340, the Proxy MST LED
will indicate socket status.

M340 may also open up to 8

G
additional Modbus server sockets
D on Proxy for Modbus function
such as Read_Var, etc.

Up to 8 sockets used for Modbus functions

sourced from M340
Read_Var, Write_Var, Data_Exchg

NOTE: The M340 supports more than 8 Modbus server sockets, but processes only
8 transactions per CPU scan.

EIO0000000245 12/2009 117

M340 EGD Performance and Communication Planning

The M340 EGD uses the M340 Ethernet Modbus server to exchange all data
including:
z Peer Cop
z Global data
z Peer Cop health block
z Modbus functions originating from Modbus Plus

The M340 EGD polls the M340 to read/write peer cop and global data every 50 ms.
Event communications such as MSTR or SCADA requests originating from Modbus
Plus are passed immediately
These transactions from the M340 EGD are queued in memory by the M340 until
the end of the M340 CPU scan. At the end of scan, the M340 CPU services the
Ethernet communications interface and exchanges data to receive incoming
requests from the M340 EGD, and send outgoing responses that have been solved
in the M340 logic application. Note that on Modbus Plus, interfaces are also serviced
at the end of CPU scan. This is the case of Modbus Plus CPU interfaces and option
cards such as the Quantum NOM module.
Therefore, the combination of the M340 EGD poll rate and the M340 CPU scan time
for your application are some of the key components in calculating system
performance. For the calculations in this section, CPU represents the M340 CPU
scan and EPR represents the Ethernet interface poll rate by the M340 EGD to the
M340.

M340 EGD and the M340 Modbus Client

The M340 EGD also accommodates up to 8 Modbus client requests on the M340
EGD Modbus server. The client requests are for the recommended processing by
the M340 CPU Ethernet interface or M340 NOE. Examples of client requests include
Read_Var, Write_Var and Data_Exch M340 functions. The IO Scanner function
using the M340 NOE is supported. Note, however, the risk of potential congestion
depending on the communications architecture. IO scanner client requests from the
M340 to Modbus Plus nodes via theM340 EGD could overload the M340 EGD
interface which would slow communications from the M340 EGD to the M340. It is
recommended that if the M340 NOE IO scanner is employed in place of function
blocks that are no more than 6 IO scanner entries to Modbus Plus nodes be utilized
to prevent overload. IO scanner repetition rates should also be 50 ms or greater.
Lower IO scanner repetition rates may introduce duplicate re-transmission packets
and lower overall throughput.

 M340 EGD Performance and Communication Planning

Modbus Plus Token Rotation

The M340 EGD will service the Modbus Plus token at each rotation. In the case of
Peer Cop and global data, only data that has changed will be forwarded to the M340
EGD. Both input and output data is serviced. The token rotation time is a key factor
in overall message delivery and application response time. Token rotation varies
with node density. Each additional node adds to the Modbus Plus token rotation
time. Note that communication requests that cross bridges will be subject to varying
token rotation times on each logical Modbus Plus network and Modbus Plus bridge
forwarding delays.

Modbus Plus PLC CPU Scans

The CPU scan of the source or destination Modbus Plus node is also a key factor.
Similar to the M340 CPU scan, communications are serviced at the end of the scan.
Therefore even a short token rotation time such as 5 ms will not produce fresh data
to be sent or received every rotation if the CPU scan of the Modbus Plus node is
25 ms. Only when the CPU scan ends and the Modbus Plus interface is serviced will
fresh data be sent or received by the Modbus Plus node.

Calculating Message Delivery Time

Message delivery time is calculated as the time it takes a sending node to calculate
a value to transmit a message to a receiving node, and for that message to be
recognized in receiving node CPU logic (refer to the figure below).
z Variables:
M340 CPU Scan = M1
Modbus Plus Token Rotation = TR
Modbus Plus node CPU Scan or slave Response = M2
z Relative Constants:
M340 EGD forwarding delay (average) EGD = 10 ms
Ethernet queuing and propagation delay ENT = 1 ms
The Message Request / Response cycle is as follows:
2 x M1 + 2 x ENT + 2 x EGD + 2 x TR + M2

2 Message is sent on Ethernet.
3 M340 EGD processes the message and sends it at the next token.
4 The token rotates to the target node and is received. The target node reads the request
and solves logic and send a response (CPU scan). The response is sent at the next token
rotation.
5 The token rotates to the M340 EGD and the message is received.
6 The M340 EGD processes the message and send it on Ethernet.
7 M340 solves logic and receives a response for processing.
Rotation Time Example
1 M340 CPU scan = 10 ms
2 MBP Token Rotation = 12 ms
3 Compact CPU scan = 15 ms
Equation
2 x 10 ms + 2 x 1 ms + 2 x 10 ms + 2 x 12 ms + 15 ms = 81 ms
NOTE: The example above is a single request and response cycle for a Modbus
function such as Read_Var or MSTR.

forwarding delay with a 20 ms poll rate between the M340 EGD and the M340.
To calculate an application response such as to read an input from Modbus Plus,
solve it in logic and write the output, adjust accordingly by multiplying the sequence
X 2. Read input, solve logic and write output requires approximately 2 message
response cycles. Note that the only difference in using the M340 from a native
Modbus Plus device is the 10 ms processing time required each time through the
M340 EGD.
NOTE: For more network planning information about Modbus Plus, see Modicon

Installing the Modicon M340 Rack and M340 EGD in a Cabinet

If the racks are installed in a cabinet, comply with the following measures:
z Leave a minimum space of 80 mm (3.15 in) above and below the modules to
facilitate air circulation.
z Leave a minimum space of 60 mm (2.36 in) between the modules, cable
connections, and the wiring ducts to facilitate air circulation.
The minimum depth of the cabinet should be 150mm (5.91inch) if the rack is
fastened to a plate or 160 mm (6.30 in) if the rack is mounted on a 15 mm (0.59 in)
deep DIN rail.
NOTE: For more Modicon M340 system and installation specifications, see Modicon
M340 using Unity Pro: Processors, Racks and Power Supply Modules (35012672).

M340 EGD Application Note

C
Using the Read_Var Function Block

Introduction
The M340 can be programmed to direct a Read or Write_Var request through the
M340 EGD to read and write data to Modbus Plus nodes. This application example
details how this is done.

Read_Var Example
This example directs a Read_Var to read 10 words at starting register 400300 from
Modbus Plus node address 2. The M340 EGD Ethernet interface address is
192.168.1.50.

EIO0000000245 12/2009 123

Application Note

ADDM Block
The ADDM block is used for convenient addressing. The block converts a string
address into a 5 byte array which can be tied to the input of the Read_Var. The
Read_Var is the block that actually executes the read function. There are other
variations of the ADDM block, this is just one example. For additional information,
refer to the Help available in Unity regarding this block.
The format shown is:
'CPU_CoPro{192.168.1.50}2'
Note the use of apostrophes and braces in the address syntax.
z ‘CPU_CoPro{192.168.1.50}2’
CPU_CoPro represents the network name assigned in the Unity communications
network. This directs the block to reference which PLC interface will be used for
the read.
z ‘CPU_CoPro{192.168.1.50}2’
In the braces is the IP address of the Ethernet device or the M340 EGD if you are
directing the Read_Var to read from Modbus Plus devices. In this case the IP
address of the M340 EGD is 192.168.1.50
z ‘CPU_CoPro{192.168.1.50}2’
The 2 outside the braces represents the Modbus Plus address of the device you
wish to communicate. In this case the address is Modbus Plus node 2.

Read_Var Block

Inputs
z ADR
ADR receives in input string with the addressing parameters from the ADDM
block described above.
z OBJ
The data type you want to read:
z %MW for word
z %M for bits

124 EIO0000000245 12/2009

 Application Note

z NUM
The starting memory address to read on the slave/remote device. In this
example, the read requests 10 words from the slave are starting register address
300.
z NB
The number of registers to read.
z GEST
A 4 byte register array of management parameters that describe the current
communication and operation status. See Unity Help for details on how the status
is decoded.

Routing from Ethernet to Modbus Plus with Read_Var or Write_Var

The M340 EGD routing table can also be used to route read and write requests
across Modbus Plus network bridges. Simply use the Modbus Plus address value in
the ADDM address block and edit the destination data in the routing table. The
routing table will serve as an index.
Example: ‘CPU_CoPro{192.168.1.50}2’

13 6 22 0 0

The routing table will take the read to node 2 and redirect it using the routing table
values. A Read_Var sent to Modbus Plus node 2 in this example is routed to a
Modbus Plus bridge at node 13, onto another Modbus Plus network. Then it is
routed to another Modbus Plus bridge at destination node 6.
