• Resolve Modbus address conflicts. The Modbus addresses specified by the Address Window must be unique, and not defined by the application except for certain addresses in redundant configurations.
• Define Modbus addresses for redundant configurations. For redundant configurations across communication modules, the first 4 addresses in the SOE Address window should be defined by the application, but not used elsewhere.
• Configure the Modbus Master. Ensure the Modbus Master is configured with the appropriate addresses, and has implemented the SOE Over Modbus protocol.
SOE over Modbus
Requirements In order to use SOE over Modbus, there are several configuration steps that must be taken.
• At least one Modbus Slave must be configured and active in order to use the SOE over Modbus service.
• Configure variables for SOE logging. Variables should have the “Enable SOE Logging” extended attribute set (or be connected to a SOE board) and have a valid Modbus address.
• Configure the SOE Over Modbus service. Each communication module that will support the service must be configured. Redundant configurations must be defined with the same information.
SOE over Modbus: Redundant Configurations
The SOE over Modbus service runs independently on each CI module on which it is configured. While the service on each module will provide the same event data, the presentation of that data to a Modbus Master is not normally synchronized. The service can be used in a redundant, fail-over configuration by taking the following steps. • Uncheck the “Auto Protect Network Variables” checkbox. This facility must be disabled in the System.INI file as shown below for configuration of a redundant CI. The default setting is for “Auto Protect Network Variables” to be enabled.
