The Modbus Master Function Block Library is add-on software for use with the 4-mation™ configuration * software, version 3.00 or higher. The library software is available in both APACS and QUADLOG * ® ®versions. The APACS version (P/N 15939-623V4.xx) is for use with the Advanced Control Module (ACM) * software, version 4.01 or higher. The QUADLOG version (P/N 15939-681V3.2x) is for use with either the *Advanced Control Module Plus (ACM+) software or the Critical Control Module (CCM) software. The Modbus Function Block (FB) Libraries permit the control module and the APACS/QUADLOG systemto exchange data with foreign devices that use the Modbus RTU protocol. The Modbus RTU protocol isused by AEG Schneider Automation (formerly Modicon/Gould) RTU programmable logic controllers (PLCs)and by many types of specialty instruments and interfaces such as analyzers, chromatographs, weigh scales,human-machine interfaces (HMIs), remote termination units, and other distributed control systems (DCSs).Modbus is a master/slave protocol in which a single master can address multiple slaves. The slave devices donot initiate any communication; they wait for a command from the master, which requests the slave to read orwrite data values. The control module can be configured to be either the master or the slave, but not bothfrom the same port
