secure the area by using a service truck to block access to the work environment, or by using any
other reasonable means available to ensure the safety of service personnel.
When the Fuel Management System is used to monitor tanks containing gasoline or other
ammable substances, you may create an explosion hazard if you do not follow the requirements in
this manual carefully.
All wiring must enter the console’s enclosure through the designated knockouts. An explosion
hazard may result if other openings are used.
You must run wiring from probes or sensors to the Fuel Management System console in conduits
which are separate from all other wiring. Failure to do so will create an explosion hazard.

This manual describes the installation and setup of the Modbus interface on the TS-550evo & TS-5000evo (evo). Included
are protocol descriptions, register mapping, and data descriptions for the data supported. This document is intended for
users who will be conguring the Modbus feature, and some understanding of Modbus protocol is required.
Overview
Modbus is a serial communication protocol that allows for simple system integration across various devices all on the
same network. This will allow the evo to be connected to a host system that supports Modbus TCP or RTU.
Modbus TCP is available via the evo’s Ethernet ports and Modbus RTU is available via Comm Port 1.
Installation
Modbus communication is a standard feature on the evo with software versions 2.3.0 or higher. It is available over the
standard Ethernet and RS-232 Comm Port 1. No additional hardware installation required. To use Modbus communication
you must connect to either the RS-232 or Ethernet port. For details on establishing these connections please refer to the
following manuals (000-2170 Installation Manual & 000-2173 Programming Manual).
Modbus RTU
To setup the Modbus RTU format you will need to edit the Comm 1 serial port setting in the evo system parameters. First,
select the Mode Modbus and then dene the additional parameter as required for your conguration.

Modbus TCP
Modbus TCP is enabled by default on Ethernet Port 502. Establish an Ethernet connection between the Master device
and the evo over port 502 to access the Modbus registers. Refer to the TS-550evo Programming Guide (000-2173) for
details regarding Ethernet connections to the systems.
Connecting a PC or Laptop Computer
To access the console using the Web Browser interface, connect a PC to the console through either the Ethernet port or
the COMM 1 serial port. If the console is connected to a local network, you can perform this setup from any PC on that
network by using a web browser, such as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer or Mozilla’s FireFox, or Safari for a Mac.
Note: The PC or laptop will recognize this serial connection as a network connection and will not allow the use of a Local
Area Connection simultaneously. While it is not necessary to disconnect the Local Area Connection to connect
using the Serial port, it will be necessary to disconnect the Serial Connection through the computers operating
system in order to use the Local Area Connection again.
The following instructions are written specically for Microsoft’s Windows 7 operating system. For assistance with other
operating systems, please contact Franklin Fueling Systems Technical Services.
Connecting a PC to the TS-550 evo Ethernet Port
1. Using an Ethernet Crossover, 10 Base-T cable, plug the RJ-45 connector on one end of the cable into the
Ethernet port of the console.
2. Plug the RJ-45 connector on the opposite end of the cable to the Network Interface Card of the computer.
3. Power up and log onto your PC.
Note:
You may need to re-congure your TCP / IP settings to allow the computer to communicate with the console.
Note: Some modern laptop computers have automatically switching Network Interface Cards and as such, will require the use
of a standard cat 6 cable instead of a crossover.
4
Conguring IP Settings for Communication
Before attempting to modify any computer settings, contact
the Information Technologies department of your business,
if available. Some computer accounts may have restricted
permissions to overcome before any changes are allowed
to be made to TCP / IP settings.
At the PC:
1. Power up the PC and log into your Windows
operating system.
2. Click on Start, then select Control Panel.
3. There are (2) two views settings possible when
using Windows 7:
• In Category View, click on Network and Internet,
then click View Network Status and tasks under
Network and Sharing Center.
↓
• In Icon View, click on Network and Sharing
Center.
4. Click on the Change adapter settings in the left hand column.

5. Right-click on Local Area Connection and select Properties.
6. In the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box, under “This connection uses the following items,” select
Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP / IPv4) and click Properties.
There are various ways to congure a computer to
communicate with a TS-550 evo console. These factors
depend upon the user’s computer knowledge and how the
computer is currently congured.
To determine which method is best for your site, read the
instructions in the following section carefully. Make detailed
notes on the current conguration of the TCP / IP settings on
the PC you are using. Read both the “Obtain an IP address
automatically” and the “Use the following IP address” methods
before making a choice between the two.
6
Obtain an IP Address Automatically
Computers commonly use this setting to obtain an IP
address automatically.
1. If Obtain an IP address automatically is
selected, it may be best to click the Alternate
Conguration tab.
Note: The consoles default IP address is
192.168.168.168. If the PC is normally congured
to acquire an IP address automatically, Alternate
Conguration may be used, as mentioned above, to
allow a connection to be enabled without the necessity
of reconguring the computer each time it will be used
to connect to this console.
Use the Following IP Address
1.
If Use the following IP address is selected and
the entry boxes contain any information, record this
information for use when console programming is
complete.
2. Select User Congured.
3. Enter an IP address. For simplicity, make the last
segment of the IP one number different than the IP
address of the console. Upon initial setup ONLY,
the numbers used in the gure may be used to
congure the TCP / IP settings of your PC. After
initial startup the programmed parameters should
be veried through the touchscreen
4. Leave all other information blank and click OK.
5. Close the Local Area network for changes to take
place.
2. Enter an IP address. For simplicity, make the last
segment of the IP one number different than the IP
address of the console. Upon initial setup ONLY,
the numbers used in the gure may be used to
congure the TCP / IP settings of your PC.
3. Leave the DNS information blank.
Note: The consoles default IP address is
192.168.168.168. If the PC is normally congured
to Use the following IP address, make sure that
all displayed information is recorded and kept prior
to making any changes. It may be necessary to use
this information to re-congure the console once
programming is complete.
Check Status of Connection
1. Check the status of your connection by going to
the Network Connections window.
2. If the connection status is disabled, enable it by
right-clicking on the Local Area Connection and
selecting Enable.
