Hi I am trying to use STRUCT to parse commands from Modbus/TCP, Modbus client will fill the bytes related to a specific command (type, parameters), then PLC (Codesys) will access the command parameters. A STRUCT will simplify a lot the process of parsing the data, so I don't need to parse byte per byte, address will be mapped to a struct and I can use it for parsing the data. From what I understood, the compiler does not allow me to specify the location of the struct for a %MW register. VAR_COMMAND AT %MW1002: structGenericModbusCommand; This will throw: Bad declaration, use '%ML' for 'structGenericModbusCommand' variable But If I change it to %ML, when you go online you see that it is actually allocating the struct in another memory address. When we go online, on GVL we can see: VAR_COMMAND. structGenericModbusCommand %ML1002 commandType COMMANDTYPE %MB8016 ... %MB8020 I am not specifying a pointer or a reference it is a struct type, why is it mapping to a %MW location (random one). How can I control where it is mapping to? I need a consistent way to map STRUCT to specific modbus address. Is it possible? Thanks, Paulo Note I am using a Codesys OEM: Schneider Machine Expert Logic Builder (M241)

I am actually wondering as well if there are plans to fix it or not? As adding two modbus devices creates it's own problems with connection limits and other issues, which some slave devices have.

Hallo, gibt es eine Möglichkeit die Modbus Slaves (ModbusSlaveComPort) innerhalb der Applikation über ein Variable zu aktivieren oder zu deaktivieren? Bilder als Datei Danke!

Hello, is there a possibility to change modbus server parameters (baud rate, parity, etc.) configured in devices tree from PRG? I need to be able to change them, for example, from HMI.

Hello, Is there a maximum number of Masters that can connect to a Modbus Slave that is configured in the device tree? Is this limited by the CODESYS IDE, or the manufactures hardware and CPU load? Thank you,

Most likely your IP address is set to 172.... because you use a VPN connection to your device. Probably best to use the other Ethernet interface for your modbus communication.

Hi Sandro, did you find any solution? I'm in version 3.5.20.40 and i have only one modbus channel. I don't want the problem to happen to me if I do an update one day.

There still is no solution to this. I am running Modbus version 4.4.0.0 and it still wont let me add more than 10 channels. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Turns out Modbus was working despite the pre-compiler errors; I was reading the wrong addresses of the slave device, which was why I was seeing all 0s. Thanks for ignoring me.

Hi all, I am attempting to use the Control Win V3 soft PLC to control a WAGO 750-315 remote I/O system via modbus RTU communication. I am struggling to connect to the device. I have been following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlRfkESaNds I have setup my devices as shown in the images below. I have verified that my com port settings are correct as I am able to connect/control using modbus simulator software with these settings. I have also connected to a modbus master simulator program as instructed in the video, but the orange triangles will not go away. Additionally, I have updated my settings to 485 using the PLC shell. I have also set "always update variables" to enabled (1). Serial port, PCI-Bus, and modbus serial device status all show as "Not Running."
