Purpose: This document provides an overview of the method used to communicate between a ROC809 and another ROC809 device using MODBUS TCP/IP with the ROC809 as a Master and the other ROC809 as a Slave. Equipment:
(2) ROC809 without a user program and Firmware version 3.XX or 1.XX.
Personal Computer running o ROCLINK 800 version 2.40 or later
ROC 809 communication cable for LOI port to configure unit
Power Supply 12VDC to power ROC809
Cross over Ethernet cable to connect between ROC809 devices.
Recommended Documentation:
ROCLINK 800 User Manual
Modbus master Interface Application Module user manual
Modbus Host User Program User Manual

Setup
Step A: Power ROC809 device #1 Connect 12Vdc power supply to BATT terminals labeled BATT + - :
Step B: Power ROC809 device #2 Connect 12Vdc power supply to BATT terminals labeled BATT + - :
Step C: Connect LOI communication cable to ROC809. Connect the communication cable supplied with the ROC809 to the LOI port and other side to COM1 on PC.
Step D: Launch ROCKLINK800 software. On the PC launch the ROCKLINK800 software and communicate with the ROC809 using the computer symbol shown.
Step E: Configure Modbus on ROC809 MASTER E.1.) On pull down windows go to Configure and select MODBUS as shown below.

E.3.) In the Master Table tab enter the Server IP address (slave), port number which is 502 for IP and RTU address, function code, slave register and master register (should both be the same address), number of registers if 32 bit enter 2, Comm status should show an 8 which indicates a valid slave response.

Go to Registers Tab as shown below and enter the Register information and Soft Point location
of where the value that Master is going to take is located and conversion code 25 as shown in the
example below.
E.5.) Bring up the Soft Point screen. Below is where the Soft point screen is accessed.
