If PROFIBUS address more than 99 is needed, the function select switch SW on the backboard should be

used to set the address. See Fig 2-14:

If SW3=OFF（downward），the address of this slave is SA（19）；

If SW3=ON（upward），the address of this slave is 100+SA（19）=119；

If SA ≧ 27, even SW3=ON（upward），the address of this PROFIBUS slave is still 27, since PROFIBUS

protocol specify the area of slave address is 0 ~ 126.

⒐ Configure bridge as MODBUS master, or MODBUS slave
The highest bit (SW1) of bridge function dipswitches SW (on the back board of product) is used to set the

MODBUS master/slave function. See Fig 2-15:

Out: no data being send.

⑸ MODBUS-232/485 RxD LED, green. Light: PB-B-MODBUS/232/485/V3x is receiving data send by the

field device. Out: no data being received.

⒒ The steps of Power on and the exclude of errors

⑴ the connection between PROFIBUS master and PB-B-MODBUS/232/485/V3x
① Make sure the 24V power supply is connected, and the polarity is right.

② Check the PROFIBUS slave address dipswitches. Note: Since the PB-B-MODBUS/232/485/V3x interface

only read the address set by the switch during power on, so the power supply should be shut down and regives

again if the address is changed.

③头 If PRFIBUS master has already configured the interface slave, PROFIBUS connector should be used. Note:

if this interface is placed at the end of PROFIBUS station, the connector with terminator resister should be

used. And the terminator resister select switch should be placed on ON state.

④ Give 24V power supply, the power LED will be light.

⑤If the PROFIBUS failure LED PBFAL (red) is light, it means the communication between PROFIBUS master

and the interface fails. Please check the connector, PROFIBUS cable, especially the way PROFIBUS master

configure the interface (See Chapter 5). If PROFIBUS failure LED PBFAL (red) is out, and the PROFIBUS

status LED PBOK (yellow) is light, that means the master has already exchanging data with slave interface, the

slave has connected to the PROFIBUS.

⑥ General questions：PROFIBUS failure LED PBFAL (red) is light. The PROFIBUS is not connected:

→check the components connect to PROFIBUS (cable, connector, terminator resistor)

→check the setting of PROFIBUS address dipswitch.

⑵ The connection between MODBUS master PB-B-MM/V3x and MODBUS devices

① If the field device is ready, user can connect to MODBUS device via RS-232 cable or RS-485 double-line

cable. Note: try to avoid insert and pull the RS-232 with power on.

② By checking the MODBUS /232/485/V3x TxD LED and RxD LED, user can handle the communication on

the MODBUS /232/485/V3x side.

Whether the MODBUS/232/485 is normal depends on：

(A) Whether PROFIBUS master controller has connected to PB-B-MODBUS？Refer to ⑴。

Chapter 3：MODBUS Introduction

Statement: Use PB-B-MODBUS/232/485/V3x products without understanding the technical details，

if reader just want to use the product，you can read block letter only（overlook Italic）。
1. MODBUS Protocol
(1) Modbus Protocol mainly used for communication between the controller。Through this protocol, can
communication between two controller or between a controller that via network (e.g. Ethernet) and other
devices. Nowadays, there are many devices using MODBUS protocol standard.
(2) If refer to international ISO/OSI seven layers network model, standard MODBUS protocol defines physical
layer, data link layer and application layer:
Physical Layer：define the asynchronous serial communication standard that based on RS232 and RS485；
Data link Layer：define the MAC that based on station identification and master/slave mode；
Application Layer：define information criterion (or message format) and communication service functions；

Application Layer

Presentation Layer

Session Layer

Transport Layer

Network Layer

Date Link Layer MODBUS Master/Slave

Physical Layer RS232/485

OSI Model MODBUS Protocol

(3) Many devices are based on MODBUS rs232/485，also have changed MODBUS network communication，
using MODBUS’s Application Layer only, and use other communication protocol in bottom, e.g. use
Ethernet+TCP/IP network, or spread spectrum wireless communication MODBUS network etc. in the bottom.
2. MODBUS Protocol points
(1) MODBUS is master/slave communication protocol. Master initiate transactions ,only the slave that have the
same address with the message that master initiate can sent response to master
(2)It is broadcast mode if message with address 0 ，no slave need to response，can be sent as a broadcasting
message ，including：
•Modify coil status；
•Modify contents of register；
•Force multiple coils；
•Force multiple registers；
•Inquiry diagnosis；
(3) MODBUS defined two transmission modes：ASCII mode、RTU（binary）mode；Two transmission mode can’t
be mixed；
※ This product PB-B-MODBUS/V3x only use RTU mode。

Characters RTU ASCII

Coding Binary ASCII（characters：0-9，a-z, A-Z）

Bits per Byte Start bit:1 BIT Start bit:1 BIT
Data bits:8 BITS Data bits:7 BITS
Parity(optional):1BIT Parity(optional):1BIT
Stop bits:1or2 Stop bits:1or2
Error Check CRC(Cyclical Redundancy LRC(Lingitudinal Redundancy
Field Check) Check)
(4) Transmission Error Checking
→Transmission error checking have parity checking and redundancy checking.
→Stop dealing with the message, when checking have a error, slave stop communication, not response to this
message any more.
→Once a communication error occur, this message will be regarded as not reliable; MODBUS master will give
a “connumication error has occurred” judgment, if without received response from slave after some time.
(5) message level（character level）use CRC-16（cyclical redundancy check）
(6) RTU format of MODBUS message

3. Exception Responses
(1)Slave receive master’s message，no transmission error，but slave can’t execute master’s order or can’t give a
response correctly, slave will give a “exceptionl response” message to answer.
(2) Message format of exception response
For example：master initiate a request message，Function code 01：read 1 coil value of 04A1

Slave Addre Function Starting Address Hi Starting Address Lo No. of Coils Hi No. of Coils Lo CRC

0A 01 04 A1 00 01 xxxx

As the slave’s highest coil address is 0400, 04A1 over addresses ceiling，slave will give a exception response
asfollow:（Notice：Function code highest bit set to 1）：

Slave Address Function Exception Code CRC

0A 81 02 xxxx

(3) Exception Rresponses Codes

Code Name Meaning
01 ILLEGAL The function code received in the query is not an allowable action for the
FUNCTION slave. If a Poll Program Complete command was issued, this code indicates
that no program function preceded it.
02 ILLEGAL DATA The data address received in the query is not an allowable address for the
ADDRESS slave.
03 ILLEGAL DATA Avalue contained in the query data field is not an allowable value for the
VALUE slave
04 SLAVE DEVICE An unrecoverable error occurred while the slave was attempting to perform
FAILURE the the requested action.（See Annotate 1）。

 Beijing D&S Fieldbus Technologe Co. td

05 ACKNOWLEDGE The slave has accepted the request and is processing it, but a long
durationof tiome will be required to do so. This response is returned to
prevent a timeout error from occurring in the master. The master can next
issue a Poll Program Complete message to determine if processing is
completed.（See Annotate 2）。
06 BUSY 、 REFUSE The slave is engaged in processing a long-duration program command. The
EXECUTE master should retransmit the message later when the slave is free.
07 NEGATIVE The slave can’t perform the program function received in the query. This
ACKNOWLEDGE code is returned for an unsuccessful programming request using function
code 13 or 14 decimal. The master should request diagnostic or error
information from the slave.（See Annotate 2）。
08 MEMORY PARITY The slave attempted to read extended memory, but detected a parity error in
ERROR the memory. The master can retry the request, but service may be required
on the slave device.

4. MODBUS memory
MODBUS ranges over controller or MODBUS device, the memory marks with 0XXXX、1XXXX、
3XXXX、4XXXX.
Memory Name Type Read/Write Memory address

re_tr=0: the interface is in the state of sending telegram, waiting for receive.

② M_ER_CODE

After the interface sends a MODBUS telegram, the slave can receive the telegram from without error.

However, if the slave cannot process the command or cannot reply it correctly, it will reply with M_ER_CODE.

Attention: The max number of 37 MODBUS telegram in a MODBUS telegram sequence is 37,but there is

only one communication status byte .Therefore, when the slave cannot reply several telegram correctly, the

M_ER_CODE of communication status byte is scrolled.

③ Tmdr_O

⑶ several errors, failure states and solutions

① MODBUS scan waiting for reply in endless time

Ⅰ、Reasons：If users choose “endless Waiting…..” as configuring “Waiting Time of Replay”in

PROFIBUS，when MODBUS scan sends a MODBUS telegram, if the telegram corresponding MODBUS

equipments（because of telegram errors、equipments failures and other factors）does not reply，MODBUS scan

stays in endless Waiting for reply。

Ⅱ、Phenomenon：Communication state word“receive end/send permit reok_tren=0”
，MODBUS scan Waiting
for reply。
Ⅲ、Solution：Users according to needs choose two methods of relieving waiting as below。

(ⅰ) Use “Stop waiting D6:escape_M” to cause MODBUS scan to stop waiting，switch to send next

MODBUS telegram。
↓
↓
MODBUS scan stays in endless Waiting for reply…………..
start_M=0;
escape_M=1;
escape_M=0;
start_M=1;

 Beijing D&S Fieldbus Technologe Co. td

↓
↓
(ⅱ) Use“Set by force MODBUS scan reset D7:reset_M”，make MODBUS scan stop waiting，scan pointer

returns back to start position，send the first MODBUS telegram。

↓
↓
MODBUS scan stays in endless Waiting for reply…………..
start_M=0;
reset_M=1;
reset_M=0;
start_M=1;
MODBUS scan stops waiting、resets、sends the first MODBUS telegram………
↓
↓
② Because D7:reset_M remains efficiency, it causes MODBUS scan pointer to return back to original

position again and again.

Ⅰ、reasons：For example Users use the start operation as fig 5-50：

reset_M=1;
start_M=1;
reset_M=1：MODBUS scan resets
↓
↓
start_M=1：Start MODBUS scan，send Start serial port
the first MODBUS telegram。 to send data。

Others

Fig 5-50

Ⅱ、Phenomenon：Serial port may not send data completely，MODBUS scan resets again，restarts sending the

first MODBUS telegram。Again and again。

Ⅲ、Solution：Use right start method，when start, use commands of (reset_M=0) and (escape_M=0)。

③ Because D6:escape_M remains efficiency, it causes MODBUS scan does not wait but jump to next

position.

Ⅰ、reasons：For example Users use the start operation as fig 5-51：

tel: 010-62054940 62 web: www.c-profibus.com.cn

 Beijing D&S Fieldbus Technologe Co. td

escape_M=1;
start_M=1;
↓
escape_M=1: MODBUS scan pointer move rearwards
↓

start_M=1:Start MODBUS scan ， Start serial port

send MODBUS telegrams。 to send data。

Others

Fig 5-51

Ⅱ、Phenomenon：Serial port may not send data completely，MODBUS scan makes the pointer move

rearwards，restart sending next MODBUS telegram。Again and again。

Ⅲ、Solution：Use right start method，when start, use commands of (reset_M=0) and (escape_M=0)。

④ MODBUS abnormal reply

Ⅰ、reasons：The telegrams received from MODBUS slave are not wrong，but the slave can’t run master’s

command correctly or can’t reply correctly；

Ⅱ、Phenomenon：The slave will answer “abnormal reply”。See “Chapter 3 MODBUS technology introduction

3. abnormal reply”。Communication state words D4~D1 are MODBUS abnormal codes。

Notice: The whole MODBUS telegram queue at most has 37 MODBUS telegrams，but has only one

Communication state word，therefore，when much MODBUS appears abnormal reply， abnormal reply

codes of Communication state word are rolling。

Ⅲ、Solution：Find the meaning of abnormal codes，eliminate errors。Generally MODBUS equipments running

state change causes MODBUS replies abnormally。

⑤ Communication Parity Error 与 CRC Error

Ⅰ、reasons：MODBUS reply telegrams received from FROFIBUS bridge contain character check error or CRC

check error。

Ⅱ、Phenomenon：If MODBUS reply telegrams received from FROFIBUS bridge contain character check error

or CRC check error，PROFIBUS Bridge will think the reply telegram data is uncertainty，refuses to write

reply data to MODBUS Read Data Area，refuses to update PROFIBUS input data，regards the

communication invalid ， continues to scan next MODBUS telegram 。 At the same time make

communication state word parity check error D7:oe_er set 1 or make CRC check error D6: CRC_er set 1。

Ⅲ、Solution：character check error or CRC check error does not influence MODBUS scan running，but error

tel: 010-62054940 63 web: www.c-profibus.com.cn

 Beijing D&S Fieldbus Technologe Co. td

flag will retain。We can use control word“Clear Error Flag”clear_er=1 to clear error flag。clear_er=1 does

not influence MODBUS scan。clear_er retains 1. Make the function of retain clear error flag in effect。
5．How to start to read/write MODBUS communication data in PROFIBUS Master
Programs in the master must base on I/O addresses of hardware configuration。For the sake of

convenience，We take the hardware configuration of chapter “Product configuration and instances of

communication methods” to copy here，See as fig 5-1：Instances of communication methods、fig 5-2：All

4、Particular case
（1）If configure the telegram of MODBUS slave 02H(Fig 3 or Fig 6), but not insert the 02H address in the

MODBUS slave address table(Fig 4 or Fig 7),the MODBUS master（PB-B-MM/V33）will set D4~D1 to F in

IB0 and not change the slave status monitor(bit or byte) ,when MODBUS master（PB-B-MM/V33） sends

telegram to 02H,not finding the 02H in the MODBUS slave address table.

（2）If receiving a answer telegram with MODBUS error code, the MODBUS master（PB-B-MM/V33）

will search the telegram MODBUS address in the MODBUS slave address table,and write the MODBUS error

code in the communication status byte of MODBUS slave.When not finding the telegram addres, the MODBUS

master will set D4~D1 to F in IB0, and not change the communication status byte of MODBUS slave.

（3）If receiving a answer telegram with parity error or CRC check error, the MODBUS master

（PB-B-MM/V33）will search the telegram MODBUS address in the MODBUS slave address table,and set the

communication status byte of MODBUS slave. When not finding the telegram addres, the MODBUS master

will set D4~D1 to F in IB0, and not change the communication status byte of MODBUS slave.
5、matters need attention—configure the max number of MODBUS slave telegram
PB-B-MM/V33 products add to new function of MODBUS slave status monitor in comparison with V32,
