Setting the Configuration Mode Switch in 1769 SM2

Module

Before installing the module, make sure its Configuration Mode Switch is correctly set.

SW1
Setting

Description

CONT
(Controller)
back position

Default settingThe 1769-SM2 module uses the

configuration
data downloaded from the controller on power-up and
when the
controller is placed in run mode.

PARAM
(Parameter)
front position

The 1769-SM2 module uses its internal parameter

settings to
configure the module.

SW2 Setting
Single Position (For Single
drive per channel)
Multi-Drive Position (For Max
5 drives per channel or up 31
RTU slave devices per
channel)

Select SW1 in Controller Position and SW2 in Multi-Drive Position.

Use these data values to configure the configuration data
table of SM2 module.
For DSI I/O Config Select 5 for modbus RTU
slave.

RTU Baud Rate Configuration

RTU Format Configuration

Where The RTU format
consists of three
components: data bits
(8 data bits only), parity
(None, Even or Odd),
and stop bits (1 or 2).

e.g.: For None parity and 2 stop bits select value 3.

e.g.: For baud rate 9600 bits/sec select value 2.

For RTU Rx Delay, RTU Tx Delay And RTU MSG Timeout select
the values according to the load in controller and scan time of
controller in such a way that the slave device has sufficient
time to respond to the master.

Function Code: Can be differ according to the register type.(Such as 3-Holding

Register, 4-Input Register)
Register Address and Length: May vary according to the slave devices parameters.
( For PCS Controller: Register Address is 3 and its data length is 1.)
Please select the proper data mentioned above for slave devices otherwise
communication fails.
For detailed information about these parameters please refer to the user manual of
the particular slave device.
To check slave communication status and device parameters: use ModScan32 (3rd
party software) if available.
