1.4 Setting Jumpers
When the module is manufactured, the port selection jumpers are set to RS-232. To use
RS-422 or RS-485, you must set the jumpers to the correct position. The following
diagram describes the jumper settings.
Note: Jumper pin placement on the circuit board may vary.
The Setup Jumper acts as "write protection" for the module’s firmware. In "write
protected" mode, the Setup pins are not connected, and the module’s firmware cannot
be overwritten. The module is shipped with the Setup jumper OFF. If an update of the
firmware is needed, apply the Setup jumper to both pins.
The following illustration shows the jumper configuration, with the Setup
Jumper OFF.

2 Configuring the Module in RSLogix
To add the module in Studio 5000, you must:
1 Create a new project in Studio 5000.
2 Add the module to the Studio 5000 project. There are two ways to do this:
o You can use the Add-On Profile from ProSoft Technology. This is the preferred
way, but requires RSLogix version 15 or later.
o You can manually create the module using a generic 1769 profile, and then
manually configure the module parameters. Use this method if you have RSLogix
version 14 or earlier.
3 Create an Add-On Instruction file using ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) and
export the Add-On Instruction to an Studio 5000 compatible file (.L5X file).
4 Import the Add-On Instruction (the .L5X file) into Studio 5000.
The .L5X file contains the Add-On Instruction, user-defined data types, controller tags
and ladder logic required to configure the module.
2.1 Creating the Module in an Studio 5000 Project
In an Studio 5000 project, there are two ways you can add the module to
the project.
 You can use an Add-On Profile (AOP) from ProSoft Technology. The AOP contains
all the configuration information needed to add the module to the project. This is the
preferred way, but requires RSLogix version 15 or later. Refer to Creating a Module
in the Project Using an Add-On Profile (page 15).
 If using an AOP is not an option, you can manually create and configure the module
using a generic 1769 profile. Use this method if you have RSLogix version 14 or
earlier. Refer to Creating a Module in the Project Using a Generic 1769 Module
Profile (page 19).

In the ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) tree view, double-click MODULE.
Parameter Value Description
Module Name ASCII
characters
(max. 38)
Assigns a name to the module that can be viewed using the
configuration/debug port. Use this parameter to identify the
module and the configuration file.
Read Register Start 0 to 9999 Specifies the start of the Read Data area in module memory.
Data in this area is transferred from the module to the
processor.
Read Register Count 0 to 10,000 Specifies the size of the Read Data area.
Write Register Start 0 to 9999 Specifies the start of the Write Data area in module memory.
Data in this area is transferred from the processor to the
module.
Write Register Count 0 to 10,000 Specifies the size of the Write Data area.
Backplane Fail Count 0 to 65535 Specifies the number of consecutive backplane transfer
failures that can occur before communications are halted.
Error/Status Block Pointer -1 to 9939 Starting register location in the module’s database for the
error/status table. If a value of -1 is entered, the error/status
data is not placed in the database. This data must be placed in
the read data range of module memory.
This data includes the module version information and all
server error/status data. Refer to MBS.STATUS (page 64) for
more information.
Initialize Input Image Yes or No This parameter determines if the input image data and the
module’s Read Register Data values are initialized with Read
Register Data values from the processor. If you set the
parameter to No, the Read Register Data values in the module
are set to 0 upon initialization. If you set the parameter to Yes,
the data is initialized with Read Register Data values from the
processor. This option requires associated ladder logic to pass
the data from the processor to the module.
Block Transfer Size 60, 120 or
240
Specifies the number of words in each block transferred
between the module and processor.
Slot Number 1 to x Specifies the slot in the CompactLogix or MicroLogix 1500-
LRP rack for the module.
Important: The sum of the Read Register Count and Write Register Count cannot exceed 10,000 total
registers. Furthermore, neither the Read Data nor the Write Data area may extend above module register
9999. The Read Data and Write Data areas must not overlap.

3.2.2 Modbus Port x Parameters
This section applies to both MBS PORT 1 and MBS PORT 2.
In the ProSoft Configuration Builder tree view, double-click the MODBUS PORT X icon.
Configuration Parameters Common to Master and Slave
Parameter Value Description
Start Active Yes or No Specifies whether or not the port and commands are active
upon module boot-up.
Type Master, Slave,
or Slave with
Pass-Through
This parameter specifies which device type the port emulates.
See Slave Mode (page 72) for more information on Slave
Pass-Through options.
Protocol RTU or ASCII Specifies the Modbus protocol for the port.
Baud Rate Multiple options Specifies the baud rate for the port.
Parity None, Odd,
Even
Specifies the type of parity error checking. All devices on this
port must use the same parity setting.
Data Bits 7 or 8 Sets the number of data bits for each word used by the
protocol. All devices communicating through this port must use
the same number of data bits.
Stop Bits 1 or 2 Sets the number of stop bits that signal the end of a character
in the data stream. For most applications, use one stop bit. For
slower devices that require more time to re-synchronize, use
two stop bits. All devices communicating through this port must
use the same number of stop bits.
RTS On 0 to 65535
milliseconds
Sets the number of milliseconds to delay after Ready To Send
(RTS) is asserted before data is transmitted.
RTS Off 0 to 65535
milliseconds
Sets the number of milliseconds to delay after the last byte of
data is sent before the RTS modem signal is set low.
Use CTS Line Yes or No Specifies if the Clear To Send (CTS) modem control line is to
be used or not. If you set the parameter to NO, the CTS line is
not monitored. If you set the parameter to YES, the CTS line is
monitored and must be high before the module sends data.
Normally, this parameter is required when half-duplex modems
are used for communication (2-wire). This procedure is
commonly referred to as hardware handshaking.
Float Flag Yes or No Specifies how the Slave driver responds to Function Code 3, 6,
and 16 commands (read and write Holding Registers) from a
remote Master when it is moving 32-bit floating-point data.
Note: Most applications using floating-point data do not need
this parameter enabled.
♦ CompactLogix™ Platform Configuring the Using PCB
Modbus Serial Enhanced Communication Module User Manual
ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 41 of 159
If the remote Master expects to receive or sends one complete
32-bit floating-point value for each count of one (1), then set
this parameter to YES. When set to YES, the Slave driver
returns values from two consecutive 16-bit internal memory
registers (32 total bits) for each count in the read command, or
receive 32-bits per count from the Master for write commands.
Example: Count = 10, Slave driver sends 20 16-bit registers
for 10 total 32-bit floating-point values.
If, however, the remote Master sends a count of two (2) for
each 32-bit floating-point value it expects to receive or send,
or, if you do not plan to use floating-point data in your
application, then set this parameter to NO, which is the default
setting.
You also need to set the Float Start and Float Offset
parameters to appropriate values whenever the Float Flag
parameter is set to YES.
Float Start 0 to 9998 Defines the first register of floating-point data. All requests with
register values greater-than or equal to this value is considered
floating-point data requests. This parameter is only used if the
Float Flag is enabled. For example, if you enter a value of
7000, all requests for registers 7000 and above are considered
as floating-point data.
Float Offset 0 to 9998 Defines the start register for floating-point data in the internal
database. This parameter is used only if the Float Flag is
enabled. For example, if you set the Float Offset value to 3000
and the float start parameter to 7000, data requests for
register 7000 use the internal Modbus register 3000
