Title: DL06 with ECOM100 using CLICK as remote I/O
Post by: Gummi Ben on June 22, 2016, 07:25:03 AM

Hello everyone, I have connected together via Ethernet one Click (C0-10DRE-D) and D0-06DR and the plan is to read data from the Click to the Dl06 via modbus TCP/IP. The plan is to have the DL06 reading from many Click's on the network, but I start with just one. I set up the Peer-to-Peer table in the H0-ECOM100 and by using ECOM100 RX ibox function (IB-740) I was able to read the status of X001 and so on from the Click by using GX0 as "From slave element" in the DL06 ladder. I can also us slave element V0 to read DS1 from the Click. Now I need some information on how to read/write to and from other elements in the Click, such as C1 and Y001. I also tried to use just normal ladder instructions (no Ibox) and it gave me the same result.

If there were some sort of a modbus conversion table for Koyo and Click, that would be great.



Best regards from Iceland

There is a calculator for Excel.  You can find it here. (http://support.automationdirect.com/docs/modbus_conversion.xls)

You will need to check the option to show MODBUS addresses in the Click Address Picker and use these addresses in the Excel spreadsheet above.

I got a answer from Automation Direct and the problem is that many of Click's Modbus address are "out of range" regarding Koyo addressing. The solution is to use "Z"-addressing in the koyo and send f.ex. Z6001 to the Click, which is the address DH1 and then use Copy-Unpack in the Click to move DH1 to a range of C or Y bits.
