Machine Simulation Software (MS) Modbus RTU Serial RS485 Connection

Machine Simulation Software (MS) Modbus RTU Serial RS485 Connection
Start the Machines Simulator software in start mode. We will be using the Easy Transfer Line scene.
Select the IO Drivers on the bottom menu.
Choose the ModbusDriver under the Driver Name dropdown list. The configuration button will allow you to specify your Modbus parameters.
The protocol can be selected for Modbus RTU Serial (RS232/RS485) or Modbus TCP Ethernet connection. We will use Modbus Serial.
Enter the port number and parameters for the PLC or PLC Simulator Software. The port number can be found under the device manager.
Select the starting addresses for the Digital and Analog inputs and outputs. Select OK.
Assign the Modbus address to the Machines Simulator by selecting Driver | Automatic Assignment.
Select Exit | Start Driver and Exit. This will now connect to the PLC. The indication is at the bottom of the screen.
Select View I/O to see the Modbus Address Tags. Now you can write your PLC program with the Machines Simulator.
