Open SYCON.net and locate the "CIFX RE/OMB" device. Drag and drop the device to the main panel.

Double-click on the icon to open the Configuration window of the controller.

Navigate to Configuration, Configuration. These are the parameters that you can use to setup the network settings of the Modbus TCP Client.

For the Modbus TCP Client it is important to change the parameter "Protocol mode" from "I/O Server" to "Client" and confirm the popup window with yes.

Navigate to Configuration, Command Table. Here you can setup the Modbus TCP command table.

	Note
	The maximum number of configurable Modbus TCP servers is 16.

Apply the configuration and close the windows. Right click on the controller icon and select Additional Functions, Export, DBM/nxd.

Select a name for the file, e.g.: my_client.nxd and save the file.

In MATLAB, locate the file and use the following script to load the configuration to the target machine.

IO753                 = sg_IO75X_struct();           % Define default structure

IO753.protocol        = 'IO753';                     % Protocol Speedgoat ID
IO753.cardid          = '1';                         % Card ID as defined in the model
IO753.configfiles     = '2';                         % Number of configuration files
IO753.configPath      = 'C:\Tests\ModbusTCP';        % Absolute file path or '' for current directory
IO753.configfile1     = 'my_client.nxd';             % Name of first configuration file
IO753.configfile2     = 'my_client_CmdTbl.nxd';      % Name of second configuration file

sg_IO75X_loadconfig(IO753);

Configure the driver blocks according to the configuration defined in SYCON.net. In the Setup driver block select "Configuration mode: Configuration file".

When you build the model, the firmware and configuration are loaded to the IO753 Modbus TCP Client I/O module.
