Modbus Address Map

The BM85 maintains four internal Modbus Address Map tables for

routing the Modbus messages received at its four Modbus ports. Each

port has a table that can hold up to 64 entries that you specify during

configuration.

V the location in the table at which you want to place the entry

V a one-byte Modbus address in the range 1 ... 255 decimal

V a five-byte routing path.

Each table entry specifies how you will want a Modbus address received

at the Modbus port to be converted into a five-byte routing path to the

destination device in your application. Routing can be made to a

Modbus Plus node on the local network or on a remote network.

Messages can also be routed to a device on another port of the BM85.

When a Modbus message is originated from a device at one of its Modbus

ports, the BM85 searches the Modbus Address Map table for that port to

find a match between the message's Modbus address and a Modbus

address stored in the table. The actions taken if a match is found, or if a

match is not found, are described below and on the following pages.

If a Match is Found

If a match is found, the five bytes of mapped routing from the table

entry will be applied to the message, and it will be sent out using that

routing. Here are five examples of how the Modbus Address Map table

can be used to develop routing paths for Modbus messages:

Table Location

V Entry 01 is an example of routing to node 8 on the local

Modbus Plus network. If the Modbus message contains the

destination address 47, a match is found in the table. The BM85

will apply the routing path 8, 0, 0, 0, 0 to the message. The

message is acted upon by the application program in the device at

node address 8.
