Modbus/TCP server function
Specification

Modification of Chap 2 and 4, Addition of Chap
4. Server design of FANUC MODBUS/TCP function
- “Automatic TCP connection management” is implemented. (“Explicit TCP connection
management” is not supported. So, user application (such as Ladder program) does
not need to take care of TCP connection.)
- The server function can accept to simultaneously several MODBUS requests.
- All of requests are accepted on the rule of “non-priority connection pool”that closes the
oldest connection when a new connection request arrives and there is not more
connection available in the pool. And, “Priority connection pool” is not supported.
- “Access control service” is not supported. So All of device can be accessed without
authorization.
5. Relationship with ladder program and other field network I/O
A Ladder program processing and other field network I/O refresh timing are not synchronous
with DI/DO data by the reading/writing MODBUS/TCP server function. So, when creating a
ladder program, the user needs to pay sufficient attention to the concurrency of data.
