Reading analog inputs from Advantech ADAM 6217

This folder contains the source files for reading analog inputs from Advantech ADAM 6217 over the Modbus TCP protocol.

Modbus TCP master is implemented in REXYGEN, ADAM 6217 is Modbus TCP slave.

Prerequisites

  • REXYGEN Runtime Core and MbDrv modules must be installed and running on target device to run the examples.

Timing of the project

The Modbus driver runs every 250 milliseconds (0.25 s). See the EXEC function block,
tick x factor (MTM driver) = 0.05 x 5 = 0.25 s

Running the examples

  • The *exec.mdl file is the project main file.
  • Open it with REXYGEN Studio, compile and download it to the target device.

Adding signals and changing Modbus register mapping

Go to Modbus driver configuration (MTM block in the master, MTS block in the slave) and press "Special edit" for Modbus registers configuration. Make sure to read the Modbus driver documentation (see below).
