6.2.- MODBUS PROTOCOL
The MODBUS protocol is a communication standard in the industry that enables the network
connection of multiple devices, where there is a master and multiple slaves. It allows individual
master-slave dialogue and also enables commands in broadcast format.
In the MODBUS protocol, the CVM-A device uses the RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) mode.
In the RTU mode, the message start and end are detected with silences of at least 3.5
characters, and the 16-bit CRC error-detection method is used.
The MODBUS functions implemented in the device are:
Function 0x04 . Reading registers.
Function 0x05 . Writing a relay.
Function 0x10
. Writing multiple registers.
Exception codes
If the bit with greatest weight of the byte corresponding to the function in the reply of the device
is 1, this indicates that the next byte is an exception code.
