Introduction
The PENKO Modbus protocol supports the following basic features:

• Read weigher data and control weighers

• Read inputs and outputs
• Read/write markers
• Read/write registers and levels

Advanced features are available by using the register command mode, described in chapter 5.

TCP/IP: Modbus TCP/IP is supported. Use port 502 for a TCP/IP sessions.

Serial: Modbus RTU and ASCCI are supported.

Only one connection at the time can be active. Modbus TCP/IP is only active when both RS232 and RS422
are not set to Modbus.

1 Basics
The PENKO devices that support the protocol and the used data types and address codes.

1.1 Devices
The following PENKO devices support the Modbus protocol:

Device Series Modbus support

SGM7xx SGM8xx Yes, starting at version v1.3.3.9.0.7
1020 hardware version 1* No Modbus support
1020 hardware version 2* Yes, starting at version v1.3.6.9.0.1
Flex 2100 Yes, starting at version v1.8.4.9.0.1
Flex Yes, starting at version v1.8.4.9.0.1
Flex Multichannel Yes, starting at version v1.8.4.9.0.1
* See Main Menu - Info - Hardware Version

Flex multichannel supports Weigher 1, 2, 3 and 4. All other instruments only support Weigher 1.

1.2 Data types

Data type Description
Float Double Word floating point IEEE 754, 4 bytes
Long Double Word signed, 4 bytes
Word Unsigned Word, 2 bytes

1.3 Address codes

The following address codes are supported:

Modbus name Address code Usage

Read coils 0x Read internal markers
Read physical inputs
Read discrete inputs 1x Read physical outputs
Weigher status
Read indicators as Float
Read input register 3x Read indicators as Long
Read extended registers
Write internal markers
Write single coil 0x
Weigher control
Write single register 4x Write extended register
Write multiple coils 0x Write internal markers
Write multiple registers 4x Write extended registers

PENKO Modbus protocol
2 Addresses
The following addresses are used:

2.1 Inputs, outputs and markers

Inputs/Outputs/Markers Data type Address code Address Combined
Inputs 1 - 200 Bit 1x 1 - 200 100001 to 100200
Outputs 1 - 200 Bit 1x 201 - 400 100201 to 100400
Markers 1 - 600 Bit 0x 401 - 1000 000401 to 001000
Note: The outputs in PENKO devices cannot be written through Modbus.

2.2 Indicators and registers

Indicators/Registers Data type Address code Address Combined
Indicator 1 - 50* Float 3x 1 - 99 300001 to 300099
Indicator 1 - 50* Long 3x 101 - 199 300101 to 300199
3x 301001 to 302799
Ext Registers 1 - 900** Long** 1001 - 2799
4x 401001 to 402799
Note: Indicators and extended registers are 32 bit numbers. Modbus registers are 16 bit, so each indicator or
extended register is accessed through 2 consecutive registers. Even memory locations are the highest 16 bits, odd
memory locations are the lowest 16 bits. The Modbus default is first word low. Therefore OPC servers offer
settings for word swapping.

* The 1020 and SGM7xx/8xx series have 19 indicator values (1020 FMD = 13 values). The Flex series have
configurable indicators. Consult the Flex manual on how to set the indicators.

** The Flex series have 900 ext. registers and support the use of floating point registers starting at a configurable
position. The SGM7xx/8xx and 1020 have 150 ext. registers and support floating point registers above 100.

5 Advanced features
By using register commands, all device parameters can be read and/or written.

The following parameters are used:

Parameter Data type Address code Address Combined

Input - parameter 1 Double Word 4x 1149 401149
Input - parameter 2 Double Word 4x 1151 401151
Input - parameter 3 Double Word 4x 1153 401153

Output - result 3 Double Word 3x 1145 301145
Output - result 4 Double Word 3x 1147 301147
Enable register command mode Bit 0x 1007 001007
Status register command mode Bit 1x 1104 101104

Input parameter 1:

Low word  Function code

High word  0

Output result 1:

Low word  Function code

High word  Error code

The other parameter and result registers depend on the used function.

Activating:

The register command mode is activated by setting bit 1007. On the rising edge of this bit extended
registers 71 -78 are cleared. Bit 1104 indicates that the register command mode is active.

Usage:

First write parameter 2, 3 and 4. Write parameter 1 as last because this parameter triggers the action.

PDI (PENKO Device Interface) represents the device configuration in a tree structure. Every property has
its own unique path number. The tree is used in the PENKO configuration tools Pi Mach II and PDI Client,
both available at www.penko.com/software

For example, a part of the PENKO SGM820 looks like this:

39
PENKO Modbus protocol
Setpoint 1 has path number 1.1.1.3.5.1.1. This results in the following input parameters:

Fill the path with zeros to make 12 numbers: 1.1.1.3.5.1.1.0.0.0.0.0

Parameter 1 PDI_PATH_SET 201

Parameter 2 0x01 0x01 0x01 0x03 16843011

About PENKO
At PENKO Engineering we specialize in weighing. Weighing is inherently chemically correct, independent of consistency, type or temperature of
the raw material. This means that weighing any kind of material guaranties consistency and thus, it is essential to sustainable revenue generation
in any industry. As a well-established and proven solution provider, we strive for the ultimate satisfaction of custom design and/or standard
applications, increasing your efficiencies and saving you time, saving you money.

Whether we are weighing raw materials, components in batching, ingredients for mixing or dosing processes, - or weighing of static containers
and silos, or - in-motion weighing of railway wagons or trucks, by whatever means required during a process, we are essentially forming vital
linkages between processes and businesses, anywhere at any time. We design, develop and manufacture state of the art technologically
advanced systems in accordance with your strategy and vision. From the initial design brief, we take a fresh approach and a holistic view of every
project, managing, supporting and/or implementing your system every step of the way. Curious to know how we do it? www.penko.com
