1 INTRODUCTION
This Operating Guide describes the COMMANDER 500 MODBUS serial data communications
option and must be used in conjunction with the standard
User Guide
(part no. IM/C501 or IM/C505)
supplied with the instrument.
Information.
The MODBUS option provides the following facilities:
• Standard RS422/485 communications.
• MODBUS RTU protocol – for master (host computer) to slave (COMMANDER 500) system.
• Isolation from external connections to the instrument. Dielectric strength 500V d.c. for 1
minute.
• Two-wire or four-wire communication.
• 2400, 9600 or 19200 baud transmission rate.
• Parity-checking – odd, even or none.

This section describes the connection of serial data transmission cables between the master (host
computer)andslaveCOMMANDER500 instruments on a MODBUS seriallink.Allconnectionsother
than those used for serial communication are shown in Section 5 of the relevant
User Guide
.
2.1 Host Computer Serial Communications
An RS422/485 communications driver must be fitted to the host computer. It is strongly
recommended that the interface has galvanic isolation to protect the computer from lightning
damage and increase signal immunity to noise pick-up.
2.2 OPTO22 Boards for use with Personal Computers
Where a personal computer is used as the host computer, the following OPTO22 boards are
recommended for use with the COMMANDER 500 Series of instruments:
Part No. Computer Type
AC24 AT AT Bus IBM PC compatible
AC34 Microchannel IBM PC
2.3 Two-wire and Four-wire Connection – Figs. 2.1 and 2.2

Fig. 2.4 OPTO22 Board Connections
2.6 Serial Connections – Figs. 2.1 to 2.4
Information.
• Up to 10 slaves can be connected to a single RS422 adaptor card on a PC.
• Up to 32 slaves can be connected to a single RS485 adaptor card on a PC.
The number of slaves can be increased if the driver's serial port permits.
Connections to the MODBUS serial board must be made as shown in Figs. 2.1, 2.2 or 2.4.
Connections on links with multiple slaves must be made in parallel, as shown in Fig. 2.3. When
connecting cable screens, ensure that no 'ground loops' are introduced.
Themaximumserialdatatransmissionlinelength forbothRS422 andRS485systemsis1200m.Thetypes
of cable that can be used are determined by the total line length:
Up to 6m – standard screened or twisted pair cable.
Up to 300m – twin twisted pair with overall foil screen and an integral drain wire, e.g. Belden 9502
or equivalent.
Up to 1200m – twin twisted pair with separate foil screens and integral drain wires, e.g. Belden
9729 or equivalent.

• Programmable baud rate – 2400, 9600 or 19200 baud.
• Selectable parity – odd, even or none.
• Address range – 1 to 99.
For MODBUS communications to operate correctly, each COMMANDER 500 must be configured
with the correct serial transmission parameters and assigned a unique address.

4 MODBUS PROTOCOL
Information.
• The COMMANDER 500 operates as a MODBUS, Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) slave.
• Parity checking – detects transmission errors in individual characters.
• Cyclic redundancy checking – detects errors in the master messages and slave responses.
4.1 Introduction
MODBUS communication uses the master/slave principle to send messages to one or more slaves.
Each slave is given a unique identity address (between 1 and 99).
A broadcast address (address zero) can be used to write to all slave devices simultaneously, using
one command. In this instance there is no slave acknowledgment.
Slavescannotaccept new messages untilthecurrent message hasbeenprocessedand a replysent
to the master (maximum response time 125ms). The slave monitors the elapsed time between
receipt of characters. If the elapsed time without a new character is31/2character times, the slave
assumes the next character received is the start of a new message.
Note. MODBUS RTU requires 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 parity bit (optional) and 1 or 2 stop
bits.
