C1300 Advanced Circular Chart Recorder 1 Introduction 1 Introduction The C1300 can be enhanced by the addition of a serial data communication option for use with SCADA systems with: RS422/485 communication standard Modbus® protocol – for master (host computer) to slave (C1300) system ...
2.3 Pull-up and Pull-down Resistors o prevent false triggering of the slave (C1300) by the presence of noise when the master (host computer) is inactive, 1.8k pull-up and pull-down resistors must be fitted to the RS422/485 adaptor card – see Figs. 2.1 and 2.2.

Rx Links on Serial Module 1.8kW Pull-down Resistor Note. If an RS422/485 adaptor card without pull-up and pull-down resistors is used, the C1300's internal resistors can be linked in. Fig. 2.2 Pull-up and Pull-down Resistors (5-wire Operation) IM/C1300–MOD Rev. C...
C1300 Advanced Circular Chart Recorder 2 Electrical Installation 2.4 Termination Resistors For long transmission lines, termination resistors are required on the last slave in the chain and the host computer/computer terminal – see Fig. 2.3. Under normal operating conditions the resistors are required at the receive inputs only. For 2-wire operation the slave termination resistor is fitted to the serial module terminal board –...
The maximum serial data transmission line length for both RS422 and RS485 systems is 1200m (3,937 ft). All connections, apart from those for serial data communication, are made as shown in Section 5 of the User Guide (IM/C1300). Make serial data connections as shown in Fig. 2.4. The type of cable used is dependent on the cable length: Up to 6m (20 ft) –...
Programmable for 2- or 4-wire connections. Programmable baud rate (1200 to 9600 baud). Odd or even parity. All other instrument configuration procedure is detailed in the User Guide (IM/C1300). Modbus Configuration Totalizers Relays Press the key to open the Main Menu.
Read up to 16 consecutive discrete (boolean) points from a specific starting point. Read Coil Status The C1300 returns zeros for points which do not contain defined data and NAKs* any request for point numbers greater than 200. Read up to 8 consecutive registers from a specific starting register. The C1300...
C1300 Advanced Circular Chart Recorder 5 Modbus Functions 5 Modbus Functions This section shows typical examples of Modbus function codes 01, 03, 05, 06, 08 and 16. 5.1 Read Coil Status – Function Code 01 5.1.1 Read Coil Status Query This function allows the user to obtain the ON/OFF status of logic coils used to control discrete outputs from the addressed slave only.
C1300 Advanced Circular Chart Recorder 5 Modbus Functions 5.2.2 Read Holding Register Response The addressed slave responds with its address and function code, followed by the information field. The information field contains 1 byte describing the quantity of data bytes to be returned. The contents of each register requested (DATA) is two bytes, the first byte includes the high order bits and the second the low order bits.
C1300 Advanced Circular Chart Recorder 5 Modbus Functions 5.4 Preset Single Register – Function Code 06 5.4.1 Preset Single Register Query The preset single register allows the user to modify the contents of a holding register. Note. Function codes 5, 6 and 16 are the only messages that are recognized as valid for broadcast.
C1300 Advanced Circular Chart Recorder 5 Modbus Functions 5.6 Write Multiple Registers – Function Code 16 5.6.1 Write Multiple Registers Query Holding registers existing within the controller can have their contents changed by this message (a maximum of 8 registers). When used with slave address zero (broadcast mode) all slave controllers load the selected registers with the contents specified.
The message function received is not an allowable action for the C1300. Illegal Data Address The address reference in the data field is not an allowable address for the C1300. Illegal Data Value The value referenced in the data field is not allowable in the addressed slave location.
