1. OUTLINE
This manual describes Modbus/TCP protocol communication when the temperature control module
for Ethernet V-TIO-P or V-TIO-Q (hereafter called the V-TIO-P/V-TIO-Q module) for the module
type controller SRV is used.
• The V-TIO-P/V-TIO-Q module has one modular connector (RJ-45) for connection to Ethernet.
• Up to 30 temperature control modules (V-TIO-A, B, C or D) can be connected to one
V-TIO-P/V-TIO-Q module.
Modbus/TCP is an open field network provided with the Modbus protocol on the TCP/IP
protocol of Ethernet.
The data request side is called “client” (such as computer) and the data response (supply)
side is called “server” (SRV).
Basically, one client corresponds to one server (SRV) (i.e. one to one). However, one client
can communicate with two or more servers depending on the program on the client side, but
two or more clients cannot communicate with one server.
For specification, parts description and wiring of the V-TIO-P/V-TIO-Q module, see
Temperature Control Module for Ethernet V-TIO-P/V-TIO-Q Instruction Manual
(IMS01P08-E).

WARNING
!
CAUTION
Connect connectors correctly in the right position. If it is forcibly pushed in with pins in
the wrong positions, the pins may be bent resulting in instrument failure.
When connecting or disconnecting the connectors, do not force it too far to right and left
or up and down, but move it on the straight. Otherwise, the connector pins may be bent,
causing instrument failure.
When disconnecting a connector, hold it by the connector itself. Disconnecting
connectors by yanking on their cables can cause breakdowns.
To prevent malfunction, never touch the contact section of a connector with bare hands
or with hands soiled with oil or the like.
To prevent malfunction, connect cable connectors securely, then firmly tighten the
connector fastening screws.
To prevent damage to cables, do not bend cables over with excessive force.

6. IP ADDRESS SETTING
Set an IP address of a V-TIO-P/V-TIO-Q module.
Three types of IP address setting are available: “setting by Telnet,” “setting by Web browser” and
“setting by DIP switch.”
Confirm the IP address number to the network administrator of the network (LAN) to
which the V-TIO-P/V-TIO-Q module is connected.
6.1 Setting by Telnet
Set the IP address by the software “Telnet” attached to Windows.
Preparations before setting
When setting the IP address by Telnet, it is necessary to coincide the 1st to 3rd bytes and masking
range of the IP address of the client (computer) which starts Telnet with those of the IP address of the
V-TIO-P/V-TIO-Q module.
1. Connect the V-TIO-P/V-TIO-Q module and client, and then turn on the power.
For wiring procedure, see 5. WIRING (P. 12).
2. The IP address of the V-TIO-P/V-TIO-Q module is set to a factory set value of “192.168.1.1.”
As it is necessary to coincide the 1st to 3rd byte values of this IP address with those of the IP
address of the client, change the IP address of the client to “192.168.1.” (: Any value in the
range of 0 to 255, but other than 1).
3. As the subnet mask of the V-TIO-P/V-TIO-Q module is “255.255.255.0,” also change the subnet
mask of the client to “255.255.255.0.”
After the IP address of the server is set, return the present IP address of the client to the
original address or change to the address meeting the network to be connected.
It is possible to set the IP address of the V-TIO-P/V-TIO-Q module using the client already
connected to the network. However, as the IP address of the client is changed, that client is
disconnected from the network so far connected.
In addition, when setting the IP address by this method, confirm to the network administrator
whether or not no problem arises.
16 IMS01P09-E4
6. IP ADDRESS SETTING
Setting example
An example of setting the IP address to “192.168.1.3” is shown in the following.
1. Display the MS-DOS prompt (command prompt); enter the following command and then press
the Enter key.
C:¥>telnet 192.168.1.1 9999
2. Device information on the module (V-TIO-P/V-TIO-Q module) whose IP address is
“192.168.1.1” is displayed. Finally, as the message “Press Enter to go into Setup Mode” is
displayed, press the Enter key to go into Setup Mode.
MAC address 00204A8064BD
Software version 01.3 (030612) XPTE
Press Enter to go into Setup Mode
If the timing of pressing the Enter key is late, the message “Connection with Host was cut
off” is displayed and thus the client is disconnected from the V-TIO-P/V-TIO-Q module.
Therefore if the message “Press Enter to go into Setup Mode” is displayed, immediately
press the Enter key.
If disconnected, try again from “1.”
3. If entered into Setup Mode, the present Ethernet information is displayed.
Finally, eight choices are displayed as “Change Setup:.” Therefore enter “0” after “Your
choice ?” and then press the Enter key.

masking range of the IP address of the client (computer) which starts Web browser with those of the
IP address of the V-TIO-P/V-TIO-Q module.
1. Connect the V-TIO-P/V-TIO-Q module and client, and then turn on the power.
For wiring procedure, see 5. WIRING (P. 12).
2. The IP address of the V-TIO-P/V-TIO-Q module is set to a factory set value of “192.168.1.1.”
As it is necessary to coincide the 1st to 3rd byte values of this IP address with those of the IP
address of the client, change the IP address of the client to “192.168.1. ” (: Any value in the
range of 0 to 255, but other than 1).
3. As the subnet mask of the V-TIO-P/V-TIO-Q module is “255.255.255.0,” also change the subnet
mask of the client to “255.255.255.0.”
After the IP address of the server is set, return the present IP address of the client to the
original address or change to the address meeting the network to be connected.
It is possible to set the IP address of the V-TIO-P/V-TIO-Q module using the client already
connected to the network. However, as the IP address of the client is changed, that client is
disconnected from the network so far connected.
In addition, when setting the IP address by this method, confirm to the network administrator
whether or not no problem arises.

• In the response message of the write single register and diagnostics (loopback test), the server
(SRV) returns the same message as the request message.
• In the response message of the write multiple registers, the server (SRV) returns the “Function
code,” the “Register address number” and the “Number of register” as the response message.
• In the response message of the read/write multiple registers, the server (SRV) returns the “Function
code,” “Number of write data items” and the “Read out data” as the response message.

• Order when out of the setting range
For 03H when out of the setting range: 01H > 02H > 04H > 06H > 03H
No response
The server (SRV) ignores the request message and does not respond when:
• The IP address does not coincide.
• The server (SRV) is not connected to the network.
• The PDU (Protocol Data Unit) data length is abnormal.
When the PDU data length specified by the request message does not coincide with the number of
bytes received as one TCP packet.
SRV determines whether or not communication messages correspond to one packet by time-out
(approx. 12 ms) between characters.

7.5.2 Data processing precautions
With this protocol, the maximum number of channels is 62.
If data range or address error occurs during data writing, the data written before error is in effect.
Some communication data may become invalid depending on the module selection or the
configuration of the server (SRV).
Under conditions listed below, no error response message will occur.
− When ON/OFF control, proportional band, integral time and derivative time are invalid.
− When current/voltage output, proportioning cycle time are invalid.
− When only the heater break alarm function is provided, current transformer input measured value,
heater break alarm status, heater break alarm set value and number of heater break alarm delay
times are valid.
− When only the control loop break alarm (LBA) function is provided, control loop break alarm
(LBA) status, use selection, time and deadband are valid.
Do not write data to any address which is not described in a list of data maps.

7.6.2 Initial setting data items
The Initial setting data should be set according to the application before setting any
parameter related to operation. Once the Initial setting data is set correctly, those data is
not necessary to be changed for the same application under normal conditions. If they are
changed unnecessarily, it may result in malfunction or failure of the instrument. RKC will
not bear any responsibility for malfunction or failure as a result of improper changes in the
Initial setting.
Transfer to initial setting mode.
Transfer to initial setting mode sets in “1” with register address 7D20H (normally setting mode).
The instrument cannot be changed to the initial setting mode state at control start
(during control). If it needs to be changed to the above state, first stop the control by
“Control RUN/STOP transfer.”
No control can be started during initial setting mode. If the control needs to be
re-started, first change the instrument the normal setting mode state (set register
address 7D20H by 0).

When the setting change rate limiter is used, the SV will also ramp up or ramp down by the
function at power-on and operation mode change from STOP to RUN.
If the autotuning (AT) function is activated while the SV is ramping up or ramping down by
the setting change rate limiter, AT will starts after the SV finishes ramp-up or ramp-down by
the limiter, and the controller is in PID control mode until AT starts.
If the rate of setting change limiter is set to any value other than “0.0: OFF (Unused),” the
event re-hold action to be taken by a set value (SV) change becomes invalid.

PID/AT transfer
Register address CH1: 0800H (2048)

CH62: 083DH (2109)
Use to transfers PID control and autotuning (AT).
Attribute: R/W (Read and Write)
Number of data: 62 (Data of each channel)
Data range: 0: PID control operation
1: AT (Autotuning) operation
Related parameters: AT differential gap time (P. 75), AT bias (P. 76)
Factory set value: 0: PID control operation
Function: Autotuning (AT) function automatically measures, calculates and sets the
optimum PID constants. The followings are the conditions necessary to carry
out autotuning and the conditions which will cause the autotuning to stop.
Requirements for AT start
Start the autotuning when all following conditions are satisfied:
• Operation mode conditions are as follows:
− Auto/Manual transfer → Auto mode
− PID/AT transfer → PID control mode
− Control RUN/STOP transfer → Control RUN mode
• The measured value (PV) is without input error range [Input error determination point
(high) > Measured value (PV) > Input error determination point (low)].
• The output limiter high limit is 0.1 % higher and the output limiter low limit is 99.9 % or less.
• When operation mode is set to “Control.”
When the autotuning is finished, the controller will automatically returns to “0: PID control
operation.”
AT cancellation
The autotuning is canceled if any of the following conditions exist:
• When the temperature set value (SV) is changed.
• When the PV bias value is changed.
• When the AT bias value is changed.
• When the Auto/Manual mode is changed to the Manual mode.
• When the measured value (PV) goes to input error range [Measured value (PV) ≥ Input error determination point (high) or Input error determination point (low) ≥ Measured value (PV)].
• When the power is turned off.
• When the module is in the FAIL state.
• When the PID/AT transfer is changed to the PID control.
• When operation mode is set to “Unused,” “Monitor 1” or “Monitor 2.”
• When the Control RUN/STOP function is changed to the “Control STOP.”
If the AT is canceled, the controller immediately changes to PID control. The PID
values will be the same as before AT was activated.
Caution for using the Autotuning (AT)
When a temperature change (UP and/or Down) is 1 °C (1 °F) or less per minute during
Autotuning, Autotuning may be cancelled before calculating PID values. In that case,
adjust the PID values manually. It is possible to happen when the set value is around
the ambient temperature or is close to the maximum temperature achieved by the load.
When control loop break alarm (LBA) is used, control loop break alarm (LBA) time is

Attribute: R/W (Read and Write)
Number of data: 62 (Data of each channel)
Data range: 0 to 100 seconds
Related parameters: PID/AT transfer(P. 68)
Factory set value: 1
Function: In order to prevent the output from chattering due to the fluctuation of a
measured value (PV) caused by noise during autotuning, the output on or off
state is held until “AT differential gap time” has passed after the output on/off
state is changed to the other. Set “AT differential gap time” to ”1/100 × Time
required for temperature rise.”
[Example]
A: AT cycle time when the AT differential gap time is set to 0.00 second
The output chatters due to the fluctuation of the measured value (PV) caused by noise, and
autotuning function is not able to monitor appropriate cycles to calculate suitable PID values.
B: AT cycle time when the AT differential gap time is set to “Time corresponding to 0.25 cycles”
The fluctuation of a measured value (PV) caused by noise is ignored and as a result autotuning
function is able to monitor appropriate cycles to calculate suitable PID values.

The Initial setting data should be set according to the application before setting
any parameter related to operation. Once the Initial setting data is set correctly,
those data is not necessary to be changed for the same application under
normal conditions. If they are changed unnecessarily, it may result in
malfunction or failure of the instrument. RKC will not bear any responsibility for
malfunction or failure as a result of improper changes in the Initial setting.
Setting procedure of initial setting data items
WARNING
!
Transfer to initial setting mode sets in “1” with register address 7D20H (normally setting mode).
The instrument cannot be changed to the initial setting mode state at control start
(during control). If it needs to be changed to the above state, first stop the control by
“Control RUN/STOP transfer.”
No control can be started during initial setting mode. If the control needs to be
re-started, first change the instrument the normal setting mode state (set register
address 7D20H by 0).
Data description
Control loop break alarm (LBA)
use selection
This item is for selecting the use/unused of control loop break alarm.
Attribute: R/W (Read and Write)
Number of data: 62 (Data of each channel)
Data range: 0: Unused
1: Used
Related parameters: Control loop break alarm (LBA) state (P. 61),
Control loop break alarm (LBA) time (P. 87),
Control loop break alarm (LBA) deadband (P. 88)
Factory set value: 0: Unused
Function: The control loop break alarm (LBA) function is used to detect a load (heater)
break or a failure in the external actuator (power controller, magnet relay, etc.),
or a failure in the control loop caused by an input (sensor) break.
The LBA function is activated when control output reaches 0% (low limit with
output limit function) or 100% (high limit with output limit function). LBA
monitors variation of the measured value (PV) for the length of LBA time, and
when the LBA time has passed and the PV is still within the alarm
determination range, the LBA will be output.

CH62: 6AFDH (27389)
Control loop break alarm (LBA) deadband gives a neutral zone to prevent the control loop break alarm
(LBA) from malfunctioning caused by disturbance.
Attribute: R/W (Read and Write)
Number of data: 62 (Data of each channel)
Data range: 0 (0.0) to Input span
Related parameters: Control loop break alarm (LBA) state (P. 61),
Control loop break alarm (LBA) use selection (P. 86),
Control loop break alarm (LBA) time (P. 87)
Factory set value: 0 (0.0)
Function: The LBA may malfunction due to external disturbance from outside even
when the control does not have any problem. To prevent malfunctioning due
to external disturbance, LBA deadband (LBD) sets a neutral zone in which
LBA is not activated.
When the measured value (PV) is within the LBD area, LBA will not be
activated. If the LBD setting is not correct, the LBA will not work correctly.

If the LBA function detects an error occurring in the control loop, but cannot specify the
location, a check of the control loop in order. The LBA function does not detect a location
which causes alarm status. If LBA alarm is ON, check each device or wiring of the control
loop.
When AT function is activated or the controller is in STOP mode, the LBA function is not
activated.
If the LBA setting time match the controlled object requirements, the LBA setting time
should be adjusted. If setting time is not correct, the LBA will malfunction by turning on or
off at inappropriate time or not turning on at all.
While the LBA is ON (under alarm status), the following conditions cancel the alarm status
and LBA will be OFF.
• The measured value (PV) rises beyond (or falls below) the LBA determination range
within the LBA time.
• The measured value (PV) enters within the LBA deadband.
