Scenario details:
- We want to read 12 modbus registers from a PLC
- 10 registers are binary and and the other 2 are word. It is necessary to use the modbus command 0x01 to read binary registers and the 0x03 modbus command to read word registers. Binary registers are in the addresses 10,11,12, … 17 and Word registers are in the addresses 100,101
- We want to inform the web platorm about about the register type. For this reason we will use the parameter MODBUS_custom. Data will be read every 60 seconds
- The web platform is protected with a Login and Password, so the Logger needs to be configured in security mode (LOGGER_serverLogin, Logger_serverPassword)
Solution: MTX-Tunnel firmware + MTX-Java-IoT/MTX-Java-T/MTX-Java-T2

- To read Words:
{“IMEI”:353234028104337,”TS”:”02/03/14 10:15:51”,”TYPE”:”MODB”,”C”:”WORD”,”A”:2,”ST”:100,”V1”:77,”V2”:88 }- To read Binary:
{“IMEI”:353234028104337,”TS”:”02/03/14 16:32:00”,”TYPE”:”MODB”,”C”:”BIN”,”A”:1,”ST”:10,”NB”:10,”V1”:85,”V2”:3 }- Note that in the case of reading binary registries these are returned grouped into byte-type registries (2 bytes, 8 bits, 2 bits). That is, the value of the binary register of address 10 would be in bit0 of V1, the value of the address registry 17 in bit 7 of V1, the address register 18 would be in bit 0 of V2 and the address register value 19 would be in bit1 of V2. In the previous case, the Custom variable is used to indicate that the records are of type Binary. Note that in the case of reading binaries also appears the variable NB, which indicates the number of bits read.
- Remember that the modem model used in this example has 2 serial ports. The main port (RS232) and the secondary port (RS232 or RS485) used in this example. To configure the secondary port as RS485 you must set the microswitch 2 “ON” as shown in Annex A of this manual
Enter the “ethernet” or “modem” connection type:
For an ethernet configuration, make sure the IP parameters are compatible with server access according to the concentrator local network configuration. For an ethernet connection, the configuration must be compatible with the concentrator’s local network topology so that it can access the servers. This configuration is done from the “Networks” configuration page (see section 3.2.2.3: “Networks”).
For a modem connection, the modem configuration must be correct before a connection can be set up. This configuration is done from the “Modem” configuration page (see section 3.2.2.4: “Modem”).
The parameters for the servers to be configured are at least the following:
Therefore the following fields need to be configured: “Interface”, “Type”, “Server type”, “Address”, “Port”, “Login” and “Password”.
The other fields can be left at the default values subject to the directories having been properly created beforehand. See section 3.1.2: “Configuration files” for more details.
Wait. The concentrator will reboot using its factory configuration.
