MODBUS REGISTER MAPPING QT206

• QT206 can poll 4 dynamic variable along with its Unit code and the loop current from the
HART clients connected to it.

• Data will be available in two blocks. The data polled will be same in both blocks and the
only difference will be in the order of data polled.

• The starting address of the first block is 40000 and number of registers that can be polled
is 14.

The register mapping of this block is as follows:

Registers Description Type

0-1 Loop Current IEEE-754 SNGLE PRECISION FLOAT

2 Primary Variable Units Code INTEGER
3-4 Primary Variable IEEE-754 SNGLE PRECISION FLOAT
5 Secondary Variable Units Code INTEGER
6-7 Secondary Variable IEEE-754 SNGLE PRECISION FLOAT
8 Tertiary Variable Units Code INTEGER
9-10 Tertiary Variable IEEE-754 SNGLE PRECISION FLOAT
11 Quaternary Variable Units Code INTEGER
12-13 Quaternary Variable IEEE-754 SNGLE PRECISION FLOAT

The second block starting address is 40100 and number of registers that can be polled is 14.

The register mapping of this block is as follows:

Registers Description Type

100-101 Loop Current IEEE-754 SNGLE PRECISION FLOAT

102-103 Primary Variable IEEE-754 SNGLE PRECISION FLOAT
104-105 Secondary Variable IEEE-754 SNGLE PRECISION FLOAT
106-107 Tertiary Variable IEEE-754 SNGLE PRECISION FLOAT
108-109 Quaternary Variable IEEE-754 SNGLE PRECISION FLOAT
110 Primary Variable Units Code INTEGER
111 Secondary Variable Units Code INTEGER
112 Tertiary Variable Units Code INTEGER
113 Quaternary Variable Units Codee INTEGER

MODBUS REGISTER MAPPING QT206

MODBUS Master Setup

• The MODBUS master connected to the QT206 should use function code 0x03 to poll data
from the HART clients.

• The MODBUS Client/Slave address to be used for polling a HART client should be calculated
as mentioned in earlier section.

• The starting register address can be 0 or 100, depending on which order the user wants the
data to be polled

• Number of registers to read depends on the data required by the MODBUS master from the
HART client. Maximum number of registers is 14.

• For example if the MODBUS master want only loop current and 4 dynamic variables, the
MODBUS master can read 10 register starting from 100.

• Some MODBUS masters do not allow starting register address 0. Example is MODSCAN
software.In this case the starting address to be used for the first block will be 1 and for the
second block it will be 101.

Decoding MODBUS data

• Each dynamic variable received from HART clients is a 32 bit IEEE-754 Single precision float.
These 32 bits (4bytes) are forwarded to the MODBUS master by QT206 in two registers.

• These 4 bytes of data has to be converted by the MODBUS Master using IEE-754 Single
precision float conversion method.

• It may please be noted that IEEE-754 Single precision float conversion is not exactly same as
simple Text to Float conversion. This will be completely different for higher values.

• Therefore, care should be taken to use the correct conversion method to get accurate value.

• Care should be given especially when reading totaliser values from flow meters, which can
have a high value.
