Appendix B Master Command List
Preset Single Register (Function Code 06)
Query
This Function Code allows you to modify the contents of a Modbus 4x range
in the slave. This code writes to one register only. Any holding register that
exists within the controller can have its contents changed by this message.
However, because the controller is actively scanning, it can also alter the
content of any holding register at any time. The values are provided in binary
up to the maximum capacity of the controller. Unused high-order bits must be
set to zero.
When used with slave address zero (Broadcast mode), all slave controllers load
the specified register with the contents specified.
The following example is a request to write the value ‘3’ to register 40002 in
slave 11.
Response
The response to a preset single register request is to retransmit the query
message after the register has been altered.
TIP • Functions 5, 6, 15, and 16 are the only messages that are recognized as
valid for broadcast.
• This is the structure of the message being sent out to the Modbus
network. The following byte values are in hexadecimal display.
