MODBUS SERIAL COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL CODE

The Function Code field tells the addressed slave what function to perform. The individual slave devices are assigned addresses in the range of The address field of a message frame contains two characters (ASCII) or eightД«its (RTU). Will not be valid for the combined messages. This will set an error, as the value in the final CRC field Previous message, the receiving device will consider it a continuation of the Similarly, if a new message begins earlier than 3.5 character times following a The receiving device flushes the incomplete message and assumes that the nextД«yte will be the address field of a new message.

Interval of more than 1.5 character times occurs before completion of the frame, The entire message frame must be transmitted as a continuous stream. When the first field (the address field) is received, eachДevice decodes it to find out if it is the addressed device.ДЇollowing the last transmitted character, a similar interval of at least 3.5Д¬haracter times marks the end of the message. Networked devices monitor the network bus continuously, including during The allowable characters transmitted for all fields are hexadecimal 0. The first field then transmitted is the device address. This is most easily implemented as a multiple of character times at theД«aud rate that is being used on the network (shown as T1-T2-T3-T4 in the figureД«elow). In RTU mode, messages start with a silent interval of at least 3.5 character If a greater interval occurs, the receiving device assumes an error has Intervals of up to one second can elapse between characters within the message. When one is received, each device decodes the next field (the addressДЇield) to find out if it is the addressed device. Networked devices monitor the network bus continuously for the colonД¬haracter. The allowable characters transmitted for all other fields are hexadecimal 0. In ASCII mode, messages start with a colon ( : ) character (ASCII 3A hex),ДЄnd end with a carriage return-line feed (CRLF) pair (ASCII 0D and 0A hex).

The main advantage of this mode is that its greaterД¬haracter density allows better data throughput than ASCII for the same baud Terminal Unit) mode, each eight-bit byte in a message contains two four-bit When controllers are setup to communicate on a Modbus network using RTU (Remote FД§ data bits, least significant bit sent firstДЎ bit for even / odd parity-no bit for no parityДЎ stop bit if parity is used-2 bits if no parity Hexadecimal ASCII printable characters 0.

Response, and the data bytes contain a code that describes the error. The function code is modified to indicate that the response is an error The data bytes contain the dataД¬ollected by the slave, such as register values or status. If the slave makes a normal response, the function code in the response is anД®cho of the function code in the request.

The error check field provides a methodДЇor the slave to validate the integrity of the message contents. TheДata field must contain the information telling the slave which register to Request the slave to read holding registers and respond with their contents. The data bytes contains any additional information that the The function code in the request tells the addressed slave device what kind ofДЄction to perform. It is traditionally implemented using RS232, RS422, Since Modbus protocol is just a messaging structure, it is independent of the 'read register' or 'write register'), the data, and a check sum (LRC or CRC). A MODBUS message sentДЇrom a master to a slave contains the address of the slave, the 'command' (e.g. Master-slave communication between intelligent devices.
