    Hi!

    First of all you must specify some things:

    1) Which PLC are you using?

    2) Are you using your PLC as a master or slave?

    3) Which devices are you planning to communicate?

    Please have a look at these documents:

    http://www.modbus.org/specs.php

    http://library.abb.com/global/scot/scot ... 2M0102.PDF

    For instance, ABB AC500 series include MODBUS RTU as a default. You need to set up your serial ports (in Hardware Browser) and your Modbus master needs to use COM_MOD_MAST Function Block. If you need it, I can try to get ABB's application note.

    You can also test your Modbus RTU Master with this open source tool:

    Good Luck!
