2 Controller Setup
Access to the settings used for Modbus Communications are only available through the
controller menus. The following sections give a brief overview of the initial setup required.
More detailed descriptions are available in the ALiEn2 Installation and Operations Manual.

2.1 Communication Settings

The Modbus menu is available inside the Install menu. This menu allows you to configure the
settings of the controller. Please note that these settings must match the settings of your
communications network and SCADA Host in order to function properly.

2.1.1 Station Address

The station address is a unique identifier that will be used by the host to communicate with a
single controller. This address must not be duplicated within the same segment of your
network. Valid addresses are 1 to 247. The default is 1.

2.1.2 Protocol
The protocol can be set to either RTU(binary) or ASCII (text). RTU is definitely more common as
it takes less bits to transmit the same amount of information. This must match the same setting
that is used by your SCADA Host. The default is RTU.

2.1.3 Baud Rate

The baud rate can be set to 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19200. This is used to se the bit rate of
data transmitted on the communication line. This must match the same baud rate as the rest of
your network. A mismatched baud rate will result in all communication being discarded at the
controller. The default is 9600 bps.

2.1.4 Data Bits

The data bits parameter sets the number of bits in each transmitted or received character. This
can be set to 7 or 8. The default is 8.

2.1.5 Parity
This parameter will set the parity of the character. It can be set to even, odd, or none. The
default is none.

2.1.6 Stop Bits

The stop bits controls the number of stop bits that are to be present at the end of each
character. This parameter can be set to 1 or 2. The default is 1.

3 Layer 1 Operation
The ALiEn2 has a 2-wire RS-485 port (COM 1) that operates as a Modbus Slave. The feature set
associated with COM 2 on the ALiEn2Expert is still under development. See [1], for wiring
details.

2
ALiEn2/ALiEn2Expert Modbus Communications User Guide v2.1.x 02/10/2017

Supported bit rates: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19,200 bps.
Supported character formats:
Table 1 - Supported Communication Rates and Formats

Data bits Parity Stop Bits Protocol

7 None 2 ASCII, RTU

7 Odd 1 ASCII, RTU

7 Odd 2 ASCII, RTU

7 Even 1 ASCII, RTU

7 Even 2 ASCII, RTU

8 None 1 ASCII, RTU

8 None 2 ASCII, RTU

8 Odd 1 ASCII, RTU

8 Odd 2 ASCII, RTU

8 Even 1 ASCII, RTU

8 Even 2 ASCII, RTU

The bit rate and character format are configured using the front panel only. Technically, all
character formats for RTU protocol support must be 11-bits in length with 8-bits of data. This
allows for 1 start bit, 8 bits of data, and two bits for parity and stop. In actual practice, this is
rarely followed, so all combinations are allowed.

4 Layer 2 Operation
The ALiEn2/ALiEn2Expert supports both the Modbus ASCII and RTU protocols (see [2]). Protocol
selection is configured from the front panel only, and defaults to RTU mode.

The ALiEn2/ALiEn2Expert Modbus station address is configured using the front panel only
(range: 1 – 247), but has a default value of 1. The ALiEn2/ALiEn2Expert will act on, but not
respond to, commands using the broadcast address (i.e. zero).

The maximum byte-length of Modbus commands and responses is limited to 256 characters
(see [3], §4.1).

3
ALiEn2/ALiEn2Expert Modbus Communications User Guide v2.1.x 02/10/2017

When operating in ASCII mode, the ALiEn2/ALiEn2Expert performs the following required layer 2
checks on incoming commands:

- Parity

- LRC

- character silence period (1 second)

ASCII commands can be accepted upon silence detection without a terminating CR/LF.

When operating in RTU mode, the ALiEn2/ALiEn2Expert performs the following required layer 2
checks on incoming commands:

- Parity

- CRC

- character timeout period (1.5 character times)

- frame silence period (3.5 character times)

Registers Registers

Normal responses are issued as required by [2].

Modbus allows for exception responses to be returned under certain failure conditions. Once
again, this is not typically desired in the process control industry. As such, the controller does
not normally return any exception responses. This can however be enabled through the user
interface if desired. The following Modbus Exception Responses are supported:

02 Illegal Data Address

03 Illegal Data Value

ALiEn2/ALiEn2Expert Modbus Communications User Guide v2.1.x 02/10/2017

The ALiEn2/ALiEn2Expert performs consistency checks on the following items received in

commands:

- number of bytes received1

- Number of Points field

- Byte Count field (if present).

If any of these checks fail, an Illegal Data Value exception is returned.

If an Address field, either explicit or implicit, is outside the known range, an Illegal Data Address
exception is returned. The User Application may read Input Registers 3:1001 and 3:1002 to
determine the first bank and address in the command which caused the exception. No part of
the command is executed.

A Slave Device Failure exception is used to indicate Application Layer errors. The User
Application may read Input Registers 3:1001 and 3:1002 to determine the bank and address in
the command which caused the exception. Execution of the command terminates at this
address.

5.1 Address Coding

Each register of theALiEn2/ALiEn2Expert is accessed via a specific Modbus operation. Each
operation contains an implied address offset. The mapping between traditional Modbus address
notation, the operation performed, and the address sent in Modbus messages is shown below.

Table 4 - Modbus Message Coding

06 Write Single Register 4: abcd abcd

15 Force Multiple Coils 0: abcd abcd

16 Write Multiple 4: abcd abcd

Registers

For example, accessing register 4:4000 is done via the following operations:
ReadMultipleRegisters, WriteSingleRegister, and WriteMultipleRegisters. All of these operations
use the address value 4000. Accessing register 0:4000 is done with the following operations:
ReadCoils and WriteCoils. These two operations also use the address value 4000, but access a
different register.

ALiEn2/ALiEn2Expert Modbus Communications User Guide v2.1.x 02/10/2017

6 Application Layer Operation

6.1 Basic Operation

The ALiEn2/ALiEn2Expert is designed to allow concurrent operation from the front panel and
Modbus interface. This requires that the front panel user (UI Application) and the User
Application (via the Remote Access Interface) not access data at the same time or overwrite
each other’s data. This is achieved by allowing each application to have a copy of the
ALiEn2/ALiEn2Expert parameters to read and modify. This imposes special requirements on the
User Application.

The information within the ALiEn2/ALiEn2Expert is grouped into a number of data-sets. Before
accessing any data within a data-set, it must be retrieved by the Remote Access Application.
This is done so that:

- The User Application can read a consistent data-set: That is, one in which the data is not
changing while it is being read. This means that, in general, the data-set will be out-of-date.
The User Application should have the Remote Access Application retrieve a fresh copy of a
data-set before each read “session”.

- Changes made to a data-set will not be lost: If parameters are changed using the front
panel and User Application at the same time, there is a potential for changes to be lost. For
this reason, a lock-out mechanism is provided. The User Application can retrieve a data-set
“for writing”. This will lock-out changes to the data-set by the front panel.

6.1.1 History Logs

TheALiEn2/ALiEn2Expert provides access to history records. These history records are provided
in a format that allows various aspects of the history to be compared. One must keep in mind
that the history data is constantly changing.

The controller however does not write data to the history until a predetermined even happens.
For the plunger cycle logs, the history is written each time that a cycle starts (controller moves
from Close to Rise). Daily production logs are modified at the specified Day Start Time. Reading
the history at the exact time that the history is being updated could lead to inconsistent data.
Therefore, it is best to avoid reading the history at these times.

6.1.2 Register Set Access

A register set is defined as a fixed number of contiguous 16-bit memory locations that represent
a single ALiEn2/ALiEn2Expert parameter. For a register set to be valid it must be accessed as an
aggregate from the start address.

For read operations, the User Application should query the starting register address and read
the entire length of the register set. Register sets must be written from low to high order with

8
ALiEn2/ALiEn2Expert Modbus Communications User Guide v2.1.x 02/10/2017

no intervening write operations. The register set is validated, by the Remote Access Application,
as an aggregate when the high order register is written.

ALiEn2/ALiEn2Expert register set formats are defined in 7 Register Formats.

6.2 Automatic Dependent Parameter Update

The range of values for some control parameters depend on the current value of other
parameters. This means that when a parameter is changed, its dependent parameters may
become invalid. In this case, the dependent parameters are automatically changed in order to
avoid an invalid configuration. Register assignments are such that dependent parameters have
a higher register number than their “parent”. This allows a group of parameters to be written
with a single Modbus command with no undesired side-effects.

6.3 Concurrency Issues

6.3.1 Plunger Lift Controller Algorithm
Changes to plunger lift control parameters may be made while the control algorithm is running.
These changes are saved when the Modbus Write Time expires, but are not applied until the
start of the next plunger lift cycle or controller cycle restart.

The following Historical Logs are updated by the control algorithm:

Table 5 - Available Logs

Log Updated

Cycle At the end of each plunger lift cycle

when the controller moves from
Close to Rise.

Daily Production Every 24 hours at the Day Start

Time
”Today’s” daily production is
updated every second at minimum.

It is possible, therefore, that the history us being updated while it is being read by the User
Application. For example, at the end of the gas day, the Log 1 data becomes Log 2 and Log 7
data is removed. It is the responsibility of the User Application to manage this sliding window of
log data at the gas day or plunger cycle boundary.

6.3.2 History Logs

All logs may be reset from the front panel. It is possible, therefore, that the currently selected
log may be updated while it is being read by the User Application. It is the responsibility of the
User Application to manage this concurrent access to log data.

6.4 Error Reporting

When a Slave Device Failure exception is returned, the User Application may read Input Register
3:2001 to determine the type of failure, as follows:

8 Register Map
The following sections outline each of the sections of registers as defined by the Modbus
protocol. These groups are as follows:

• Coils – Single bit registers that can be written to cause an action

• Input Discretes – single bit registers that are a read only status
• Input Registers – 16 bit registers that are a read only status
• Holding Registers – 16 bit registers that can be read and read.

Note: Any registers that are grayed out have not been implemented. Writes to these
registers will be ignored. Reads from these registers will return unpredictable results.

Note: Modbus uses a register number, which starts at 1 to describe the location of data. The
actual address that is passed in the protocol layer is 0. This means that depending on the tool
you are using, you may need to subtract 1 from the register number to access the appropriate
data.
