5.8.6 Data Field
The data field is constructed using sets of 2 hexadecimal
digits, in the range of 00 to FF hexadecimal. These are
made up of one RTU character. The data field of messages
sent from a master to slave device contains additional
information which the slave must use to take the action
defined by the function code. This can include items such
as coil or register addresses, the quantity of items to be
handled, and the count of actual data bytes in the field.
5.8.7 CRC Check Field
Messages include an error-checking field, operating based
on a cyclical redundancy check (CRC) method. The CRC
field checks the contents of the entire message. It is
applied regardless of any parity check method used for the
individual characters of the message. The CRC value is
calculated by the transmitting device, which appends the
CRC as the last field in the message. The receiving device
recalculates a CRC during receipt of the message and
compares the calculated value to the actual value received
in the CRC field. If the 2 values are unequal, a bus time-out
results. The error-checking field contains a 16-bit binary
value implemented as 2 8-bit bytes. When this is done, the
low-order byte of the field is appended first, followed by
the high-order byte. The CRC high-order byte is the last
byte sent in the message.
5.8.8 Coil Register Addressing
In Modbus, all data is organised in coils and holding
registers. Coils hold a single bit, whereas holding registers
hold a 2-byte word (that is 16 bits). All data addresses in
Modbus messages are referenced to 0. The first occurrence
of a data item is addressed as item number 0. For
example: The coil known as ‘coil 1’ in a programmable
controller is addressed as coil 0000 in the data address
field of a Modbus message. Coil 127 decimal is addressed
as coil 007Ehex (126 decimal).
Holding register 40001 is addressed as register 0000 in the
data address field of the message. The function code field
already specifies a ‘holding register’ operation. Therefore,
the ‘4XXXX’ reference is implicit. Holding register 40108 is
addressed as register 006Bhex (107 decimal).
