Page ii Important Information Misuse of this equipment can result in property damage or human injury. Because controlled system applications va ry widely, you should satisfy yourself as to the acceptability of this equipment for your intended purpose.
Page iii Safety Precautions This application guide is prepared for users of Toshiba programmable controller PROSEC T2-Series and EX100 Series (hereafter called T2).
Page iv About This Guide This guide describes how to setup and use the Toshiba EX10-MML11 Modbus module. When used in a Modbus network, t he EX10-MML11 module allows any Modbus master to write to/read from the registers in an EX100 or T2 PLC using standard Modbus RTU protocol.

Page 1 1. Overview The Modbus module (ML11) is us ed to connect T2E, T2N, or EX100 PLCs to a Modbus Master. The addition of the EX 10-MML11 (MODBUS Module) allows the T2E, T2N or EX100 PLC to communicate via standard MODBUS RT U protocol. This allows quick and easy access to the PLC registers by a standard MODBUS Master.

Page 6 5. Modbus Module Operation 5.1. Modbus Commands When a MODBUS command is used, the Modbus module translates it to the corresponding T2 register access protocol.
Page 7 5.2. Modbus Data Types and T2 Register Mapping This table shows how the differ ent Modbus data types are mapped into T2 registers. In other words, a Modbus master would reference the following Modbus register ranges to access the corresponding T2 PLC registers.
Page 8 Modbus – T2 Address mapping Example: Modbus Address T2 Address T2 Data Type 30000 XW000 Input Register 40001 YW001 Output Register 44352 D0000 Data Register Note: When dealing with I/O registers, make sure that the Modbus master is attempting to access only the I/O points that physically exist in the T2 system.
Page 9 6. Modbus Module Setup The Toshiba Modbus module has been used reliably as a Modbus slave for several years. First it was used on Toshiba’s EX100 Series PLCs and now on the T2 Series PLCs. Before it can function as intended however, all the DIP s witches must be proper ly set and all wiring connections must be correct.
Page 10 Transmission Rate (Baud Rate): Select the combination of t he three switches "BR2", "BR1", and "BRO" for the desired communication speed.
Page 11 Parity Check: Select the parity check as odd, even or none. Use switches 7 and 8 to set the parity. PARITY PEN (7) EVN (8) NONE OFF ---- ODD ON OFF EVEN ON ON ASY and DLY switches: The ASY and DLY switches are not used on the EX10-MML11, and should be set to the “Off” position.
Page 12 Example Configuration Settings: This section shows how to set the card up for network station address 2, 9600 baud, and no parity. 1) “ASY and DLY” Set these to the Off position. 2) "Station Address" • Set the Station number on the rotary switch to 2 .
Page 13 4) "Parity check" For No Parity, the following settings are required. • PEN is off. • EVN is off. ASY DLY HAD BR2 BR1 BR0 PEN EVN OFF ON Switch settings for 9600 baud, no parity, and address less than 16.
Page 14 6.2. Wiring Connection to the Modbus Module Sometimes it is necessary to convert from the standard RS485 to RS232 for connection to a Personal Computer.
Page 15 7. CPU Setup for the Modbus Module Two lines of ladder logic are necessary to configure a T2 CPU for use with the Modbus module. 1 Communications Priority: To insure uninterrupted communications between the CPU and the Modbus module, the communications priority bit S0158 must be set ON.
Page 16 8. Trouble Shooting The communication status LEDs can be used to verify correct operation of the Modbus module. During normal operation, the LED indicators flash as follows: • RXD LED : Flashes when the Modbus master sends a message to the EX10 -MML11.
