Library: embeddedCreatorLib ( Dafulai Electronics) / Embedded Modbus Master / emModbusMasterSetup

This block sets up Modbus master parameters. Every embedded target which uses Modbus master must have only-one of this block. When master is in "Idle" state, You can set up all sequences of modbus master operations (Reading blocks or Writing blocks), and then Master will exit "Idle" state and operate in sequences. We provide block to check if all sequences finish. In order to start new group of modbus operations, you must set Modbus master into "Idle" state when all sequences done.

In general, you can assign one device's operation (this device is modbus server) in one sequence. So in modbus master "idle", you can assign all devices operations (in different sequences). For device itself sequence operations, for example, after 2 secs when all devices operation done, we send other different operations to all devices. You just use "finite state machine" to do this controls.

Notes: You can add only - one embedded Modbus Master or Client. You cannot create 2 or 2+ Modbus Masters or Clients.

When you click on tab "Read Command Seqs", it will display "Read command Types" instead of "Write command Types" :

•	UART No: — In one embedded Micro-controller, there are many serial ports. This drop list parameter will tell target which serial port of Micro-controller will be used for this embedded modbus master.

•	Baud Rate — embedded serial port baud rate in unit bit/sec. Actually, actual baud rate is decided by embedded target IDE configuration software. Here just use it to decide time for Modbus RTU packet separation (3.5 characters)

•	Force longer space — true will make Modbus Master request packet to be separated with server response packet much longer time (in standard Modbus RTU Protocol, it is 3.5 characters time). It will increase anti-noise ability. false will use standard 3.5 characters space time.

How to specify Tx Enable Port — In RS485/422 interface, generally, you need one GPIO output to control Tx Enable. You can choose one of 2 ways to specify this GPIO outport. "By physical port name and bit number" will specify which GPIO Port Name (drop list) and which Port bit number (drop list) used for "Tx Enable". "By C language writing variable/macro name" will directly specify C language's GPIO output variable or macro for "Tx Enable". If your hardware don't use "Tx Enable", you just give this parameter empty string "".

•	Port Name — It is for "Tx Enable". When you use "By physical port name and bit number", it specify GPIO Port Name (drop list).

•	Port Bit number — It is for "Tx Enable". When you use "By physical port name and bit number", it specify which Port bit number (drop list).

•

Target RS485 Tx Enable C language operation Name — It is for "Tx Enable". When you use "By C language writing variable/macro name", it will directly specify C language's GPIO output variable or macro for "Tx Enable". If your hardware don't use "Tx Enable", you just give this parameter empty string "".

•	Target RS485 Tx Enable polarity is High — It is for "Tx Enable". True means GPIO port Logic High will enable "RS485/RS422" transmit. False means GPIO port Logic Low will enable "RS485/RS422" transmit.
