Modbus TCP on Build-in Ethernet port in iQ-F and iQ-R
This document describes the configuration of Modbus TCP communication on a built-in

Ethernet port with STLite (750-352).
1 Configuration Ethernet connection

In Gx Works 3, open the embedded Ethernet port setting.
1.1 Configuration Ethernet port in iQ-R
In the project window go to the Parameter -> RxxCPU -> Module Parameter tab. Then
in the Basic Settings open the <Detail Setting> tab in the External Device Configuration.
The Ethernet Configuration window opens. You need to add an Active Connection from
Module List Ethernet Device (General). The built-in Ethernet port allows communication with
up to 16 devices.
Then change the specified parameters:

 Communication Method -> Predefined Protocol
 Enter the PLC Port No.

 Enter Device IP Address (192.168.3.60) and Port No. 502 (Standart port for
Modbus TCP)
Then close the Ethernet Configuration window using the “Close with Reflecting the
Setting” button.
1.2 Configuration Ethernet port in iQ-F
In the project window go to the Parameter -> FX5UCPU -> Module Parameter -
>Ethernet tab. Then in the Basic Settings open the <Detail Setting> tab in the External
Device Configuration.
The Ethernet Configuration window opens. You need to add an Active Connection from
Module List Ethernet Device (General). The built-in Ethernet port allows communication with
up to 8 devices.
Then change the specified parameters:

 Communication Method -> Predefined Protocol

 Enter the PLC Port No.

 Enter Device IP Address (192.168.3.60) and Port No. 502 (Standart port for
Modbus TCP)
Then close the Ethernet Configuration window using the “Close with Reflecting the
Setting” button.
2 Predefined Protocol (MODBUS TCP)
2.1 Configuration Predefined Protocol

In GX Works 3 open the Predefined Protocol Support Function.
Tool -> Predefined Protocol Support Function…
In the newly opened window select CPU (Ethernet) for iQ-F and Built-in Ethernet CPU
for iQ-R. Then creat a new project.
Then add a new protocol by clicking the “Add” button. The following window will appear.

Sellect:
 Model -> Modbus/TCP
 Protocol Name -> 03:RD Holding Registers
After the changes confirm it with the OK button.
The next step is to fill in the Packet Setting data. We go to Variable Unset in Request.
The variable assignment window opens.

You must fill in all the red variable fields.
After completing all the fields the window should look like this:

Similarly do this for the other Packet Setting.
2.2 Upload a project Predefined Protocol to PLC.

After completing the parametrization you need to upload the project to the PLC. This
is done using the Predefined Protocol Support Function. Switch the controller to STOP mode.

3 PLC Program
3.1 Parameter initialization Predefined Protocol (Modbus TCP)

The first step is to fill out the data given in the Predefined Protocol (Request).
3.2 Open Connection with Slave

Open first connection. Soc_open contact will start the exchange of data.

3.3 Launch of Predefined Protocol

Assign a read registers protocol to control variables
Triggers the Predefined Protocol on the first connection (s1) and one protocol (s2),
as well as the control variables.
In the example, the registry data is in the D1000 register. The value from the analog input
module is read.

3.4 Close connection

Closing the connection occurs after the SOC_close registry is triggered
