7.6.11 Modbus Exception Codes
For a full explanation of the structure of an exception code
response, please refer to
Modbus Exception Codes
Cod
e
Name
Meaning
1
Illegal
function
The function code received in the query is
not an allowable action for the server (or
slave). This may be because the function
code is only applicable to newer devices,
and was not implemented in the unit
selected. It could also indicate that the
server (or slave) is in the wrong state to
process a request of this type, for example
because it is not configured and is being
asked to return register values.
2
Illegal data
address
The data address received in the query is
not an allowable address for the server (or
slave). More specifically, the combination of
reference number and transfer length is
invalid. For a controller with 100 registers,
a request with offset 96 and length 4
would succeed, a request with offset 96
and length 5 will generate exception 02.
3
Illegal data
value
A value contained in the query data field is
not an allowable value for server (or slave).
This indicates a fault in the structure of the
remainder of a complex request, such as
that the implied length is incorrect. It
specifically does NOT mean that a data
item submitted for storage in a register has
a value outside the expectation of the
application program, since the Modbus
protocol is unaware of the significance of
any particular value of any particular
register.
4
Slave device
failure
An unrecoverable error occurred while the
server (or slave) was attempting to perform
the requested action.

7.7 How
to
Access
Parameters
7.7.1 Parameter Handling
The PNU (Parameter Number) is translated from the
register address contained in the Modbus read or write
message. The parameter number is translated to Modbus
as (10 x parameter number) DECIMAL.
7.7.2 Storage of Data
The Coil 65 decimal determines whether data written to
the frequency converter are stored in EEPROM and RAM
(coil 65 = 1) or only in RAM (coil 65 = 0).
