Connectivity between 4PPC30.043F-21B & X20BC0087 via Ethernet

Hello everyone, rookie question here.

How do I establish connectivity between the 4PPC30 panel and the BC0087 bus controller via Modbus/TCP?

I figured it could be straight forward since both are B&R products, and I might have not done it right somewhere.

Hi Eren,

You can use Automation Studio to configure the X20BC0087. This generates a XML which has to be transferred to the module by the ModbusTCP Toolbox.

This is explained in the Modbus TCP User’s Manual. You can find it in the downloads section of the module in our webpage: X20BC0087 | B&R Industrial Automation (br-automation.com)

Also there you can download the required software, ModbusTCP Toolbox.

Hi @gohe, What is the status of your topic? Is it solved? Can you share a summary with us?

Hi @kovarj, I have yet to test it out but the necessary files and information are available for download at X20BC0087 product information.

The above mentioned manual is labelled as " Modbus/TCP Bus Controller User’s manual". Thanks for the direction, I will work this out with our application engineer.
