 Settings in CoDeSys
• The exercises with CoDeSys are using an ’Elevator Simulator’
that is written in iX Developer 2.0, and run as a standalone
Modbus TCP slave on localhost (ip 127.0.0.1) in the computer

• The embedded CoDeSys controller are using the

driver “Modbus Master TCP” to communicate
with the ‘Elevator Simulator’ unit

• To control the ’Elevator Simulator’ we need to

make Modbus TCP master settings in the
configuration of the CoDeSys project

• The Modbus drivers are as default present

in the Device Repository of CoDeSys V3.5

 Configure the Modbus TCP Slave
• Configure: “ModbusTCP Slave”
- Localhost ip address: 127.0.0.1
- Unit-ID: 2

Ip = 127.0.0.1

Unit-ID = 2

 Configure the Modbus TCP Slave
• Configure: “Modbus Slave Channel”
• Channel 1 - Read Coils, CYCLIC, t#5ms, READ Offset=16#0, length=16
• Channel 2 - Write Single Register, CYCLIC, t#5ms, WRITE Offset=16#0, length=1
• Channel 3 - Read Holding Registers, CYCLIC, t#100ms, READ Offset=16#1, length=3
• Channel 4 - Write Single Register, CYCLIC, t#100ms, WRITE Offset= 16#4,length=1
