6.3.4 Setting up Communications for Modbus
25. We need to setup communications for communicating with the MOD 30ML instrument so
that we can download the database to the instrument. We will use the built-in RS-232 port
of the instrument to download to the instrument via Modbus.
• Add a MSC block (Modcell serial communications) to the workspace by dragging
it from Algorithms menu. Double-click on it to configure. The properties menu of
the MSC block will display as shown below:
Figure 6 .54.

block
• Type a name and description for this block.
• Select RS-232 (built-in) from the drop-down menu in the Type field.
• Leave all other entries in their default values and click on OK to save the
configuration of this block.
26. Connect the Configured List foreground to the MSC block:
• Make a connection from the CL block by selecting the right angle connection from
the Algorithms window and select CL block’s LISTOUT as the source. Terminate
the connection at the MSC block by connecting it to FGLISTIN. Refer to the
figure below:
