Using Peer Cop with Modsoft
870 USE 101 00 V.3 259
Configuring a Node to Exchange Data
Getting Started To Peer Cop this sample configuration, each CPU must be separately programmed
to communicate with the others over Modbus Plus. Begin by connecting your
programming panel to the 171 CCS 760 00 TSX Momentum M1 device at Modbus
Plus address 2. Access the Peer Cop with your Modsoft 2.6 software.
When you reach the default Peer Cop screen, you need to initialize the summary
information region. To do this, define a link value and a node value in the Add Node
popup.
What Is a Link? The
link
is the Modbus Plus network on which the CPU resides.
The only valid link value for a Momentum M1 CPU is 1. An M1 can function only on
one Modbus Plus network–multiple Modbus Plus links are not supported.
What Is a Node? The
node
is the Modbus Plus address of one of the I/O devices on the network.
For our example, we will first access the AT984 supervisory PLC at Modbus Plus
address 1.
