Modbus Express Module Instruction Manual (ROC800-Series and FloBoss 107)
Chapter 1 – Introduction
This chapter describes the structure of this manual and presents an
overview of the Modbus Express Module for the ROC800-Series Remote
Operations Controller (ROC800) and the FloBoss 107 Flow Manager
(FB107). The Modbus Express Module provides all of the functions
necessary to communicate with other devices using the Modbus protocol
over RS-485 serial communications.
The Modbus Express Module streamlines the installation process by
automatically installing all point types and screens that are part of the
application.
1.1 Scope and Organization
This document serves as the user manual for the Modbus Express Module,
which is intended for use in a ROC800 and FB107. This manual describes
how to install and configure the Modbus Express Module (referred to as
the “Modbus module” or “the module” throughout the rest of this manual).
You access and configure this module using ROCLINK 800
Configuration Software loaded on a personal computer running Windows
2000 (with Service Pack 2), Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7.
The chapters in this manual provide information in a sequence appropriate
for first-time users. Once you become familiar with the procedures and the
software, the manual becomes a reference tool.
This manual has the following major sections:
Chapter 1 – Introduction
Chapter 2 – Installation
Chapter 3 – Configuration
Chapter 4 – Usage
Chapter 5 – Reference
This manual assumes that you are familiar with the ROC800 and the
FB107 and its configuration. For more information, refer to the following

Capabilities
The Modbus Express Module can simultaneously support up to six
three devices that use many entries. Refer to Table 1 for a list of Master
1.2 Product Overview
The Modbus Express module enables the ROC800 or the FB107 to
communicate directly with devices using the Modbus protocol. The
module has an on-board EIA-485 (RS-485) communications port for this
purpose.
The Modbus Express module provides the following features:
Predetermined register lists for the supported field devices
Easy addition and removal of devices from active service
The ability to poll for user defined registers from a field device
Advanced editing of the Modbus master table
Expanded registers which provide native I/O-like features for certain
registers
The data from the field devices is made available in the host device’s TLP
database for easy access by other system features such as FSTs, meter
runs, and PID loops, as well as a SCADA host system.
The application module communicates with up to six separate devices
over a single multidrop 485 communication. The module also includes
user displays, which are accessible by ROCLINK 800, providing a user
interface to the application’s database.
The module contains two master tables, each with 25 entries. Each entry
corresponds to a separate request to a device. The module uses 200
registers to store the data read from and written to the devices. The
registers support integer and float data entries.
The Modbus Express module allows you to quickly add supported
Modbus devices. The module’s Master Table is pre-populated to poll a list
of pre-selected registers and the module's RS-485 communication port is
pre-configured to match the selected device’s defaults (where possible).
Once you add the device, you enable the Modbus polling, and the module
begins to populate its registers with the data from the device.
Note: Some devices may require settings the module does not natively
support. You may externally configure these devices. Refer to
Section 1.2.1, Supported Devices, for the specific devices
supported at this time and Section 1.2.2, Module Wiring, for its
wiring configurations.
Modbus devices, provided all devices use the same communication
port settings. Since there is a limit to the available number of Master
Table entries (50) and registers (200), the actual number of devices you
can add depends on how the individual devices use the Master Tables
and registers. For example, you may be able to add six devices that
only use a few Master Table or register entries, or to add only two or
2 Revised May-2016
Modbus Express Module Instruction Manual (ROC800-Series and FloBoss 107)
Table and register entries required for each supported devices.
Use Express Mode to add multiple instances of the same devices,
which only requires you to change the Modbus RTU address for each
occurrence of the device.
Use Advanced Mode to add different devices, which must be
preconfigured to use the same communication settings (baud rate,
parity, data bits, stop bits, byte order, and RTU/ASCII mode). When
using Advanced Mode, you should disable the module’s automatic
configuration of communication ports and then manually configure the
ports to match the common port settings currently in use.
The User Interface
The Modbus Express Module contains its own central processing unit
(CPU) which handles the Modbus protocol and RS-485
communications. Any data a device sends or receives passes between
the module’s CPU and the flow computer. Due to this architecture, the
user interface has special considerations.
When you change information on a screen (entering a value in a field,
selecting a checkbox, or selecting an item from a pull-down menu), the
module does not “see” that change until you click Apply. Clicking Apply
sends all changes on the screen to the module’s CPU for processing. When
you update items in the module, any changes do not display on the screen
until you click Update. If you click Update before the flow computer has
received updated data from the module, the screen cannot show the
changes.
For example, you select a different baud rate and then click Apply to
apply that change to the module. If you then immediately click Update,
the module’s CPU and the flow computer may not have had sufficient
time to process your change and display it on the screen. You may need to
click Update again. This is particularly evident with status/error
messages.
Additionally, to ensure that the flow of data between the module and flow
computer has sufficient processing and communication time, the module
prevents you from entering data in certain fields on screens (such as "Add
Device" and "Edit/Delete Device" tabs on the Setup configurations
screen). This “locking” feature helps you to select components in the
proper order. A green box around the button or frame indicates that it is
active. For example, in the Add Device tab of the Setup configurations
screen, if you select a device to add and then click Apply, the module
locks the Device section of the screen and activates the Edit and Add
Device buttons. At this point, you can only click Add Device to add the
device you select, or click Edit to unlock the Device frame and make any
changes. See Figures 1 and 2.

Note: By default, the RS-485 port on the FLOWSIC600 uses the SICK
Modbus ASCII protocol. You must change this to generic Modbus
RTU protocol using the MEPAFLOW600 configuration software.

Chapter 2 – Installation
This chapter provides instructions for installing the Modbus Express
module. Read Section 1.3 of this manual for the module requirements.
Note: You can install only one Modbus Express module in either the
ROC800 or the FB107.
2.1 Installing the Application Module
The application module occupies the standard footprint of an FB107 or
ROC800 I/O or communications module.
To install the module in ROC800, place it in any empty slot on the
ROC800. To install the module in FB107, remove power to the FB107.
Place the module in an empty slot (1 through 7) on the FB107 and reapply
power.
To ensure that the FB107 and ROC800 recognizes the module, you must
perform a warm start (ROC > Flags > Warm Start).
Note: Although the label on the physical module is APP 485, the
Modules (for FB107) or the User Display (for ROC800) from the
Directory Tree verifies that this module contains the Modbus
Express application. See Figures 18 and 19.

Figure 19. Modbus Express Module (ROC800)
Once you have verified that the ROC800 has recognized the Modbus
Express module, proceed to Chapter 3 to begin configuring the module.
2.2 Updating the Application Module
The ROC800 version of the Modbus Express module is factory-loaded to
use displays 69, 70, 71, and 72. If you have previously installed another
application that already uses one of those displays, you must update the
module’s firmware using the Modbus Express Module 1.01 ALT.BIN file,
which provides the same functionality using displays 73, 74, 75, and 76.
Contact Technical Support for a copy of the ALT.BIN file.
For further information on updating firmware, refer to Section 9.1 Update
Firmware, in Chapter 9 of the ROCLINK 800™ Configuration Software
User Manual (for ROC800 Series), (part D301250X012).
2.3 MPU Loading Threshold (ROC800)
To maximize the performance of your ROC800 device, always verify the
performance of specific application combinations before using them in the
field to ensure the MPU load typically remains below 85% with peak
MPU loading levels below 95%.

Chapter 3 – Configuration
After you have successfully installed the Modbus Express module in the
FB107 or ROC800, you configure the module using four module-specific
screens (Setup, Master Table, Registers, and Expanded Registers). Use the
Modbus Master Configuration screen to configure communications with
the device(s).
You must configure the module before you can establish communications
with the device(s). To configure the module (after logging onto
ROCLINK 800 and successfully installing the module) proceed through
the screens as shown in this chapter.
Note: The configurations screens of the Modbus Express module for both
the ROC800 and FB107 platform are identical.
You can access the module-specific screens from the main ROCLINK 800
screen:

3.1 Setup Screen
Figure 22. ROCLINK 800 (ROC800)
Use this screen to configure the communications with Modbus devices and
to add, edit, or delete Modbus devices. The Setup screen has three tabs
(Configure, Add Device, and Edit/Delete Device).
To Access this screen:
1. From the Directory Tree, double-click User Display if you use
ROC800 or Modules > Slot #, Modbus Express Mod if you use
FB107.
Note: For FB107, the Slot # indicates the slot where you install your
Modbus Express module. For example, if you install your
Modbus Express module in slot 2, then you double-click
Module > Slot 2, Modbus Express Mod from the directory
tree.
2. Double-click Display #69 - Modbus Express Module – Setup. The
