Master/Slave Communications

The master communicates with the microFlow.net Liquid by sending messages con-

taining function codes. Function codes indicate the actions the microFlow.net Liquid is 

to perform. 
The  microFlow.net  Liquid’s  response  to  the  master  uses  the  function  code  field  to 

report on the status of the task it was assigned. The two possible reports are (1) a 

normal, error-free response or (2) an exception response, indicating an error. A normal 

response repeats the original function code. An exception response returns a code that 

corresponds to the original function code, with its most significant bit set to a logic 1.
For  example,  a  master  directs  an  microFlow.net  Liquid  to  read  a  group  of  holding 

 

registers by sending the following function code:
   0000 0011 (Hexadecimal 03)
If  the  microFlow.net  Liquid  completes  the  action  without  error,  its  response  echoes 

the  original  command.  If  an  error  occurs,  the  microFlow.net  Liquid  returns  the 

 

following message:
 

1000 0011 (Hexadecimal 83)

The microFlow.net Liquid augments its exception response by adding a code in the 

data field that indicates what type of error occurred. The exception response is handled 

according to the parameters of the application program controlling the master device.
For example, if the relay address is absent in the microFlow.net Liquid  device, the 

microFlow.net Liquid will return the exception response with the exception code shown 

(02). This response indicates an invalid data addressfor the microFlow.net Liquid. 
A listing of the exception codes appears below:

Code

Name

Meaning

01

Illegal Function

The function code received in the query is not an 

allowable action for the slave. If a Poll Program 

Complete command was issued, this code indi-

cates that no program function preceded it.

02

Illegal Data Address The data address received in the query is not an 

allowable value for the microFlow.net Liquid.

03

Illegal Data Value

A value contained in the query data field is not 

an allowable value for the microFlow.net Liquid.

04

Command Error

An unrecoverable error occurred while the 

 

microFlow.net Liquid was attempting to perform 

the requested action.

 

4.4 

Contents of the Data Field

The  data  field  consists  of  sets  of  two  hexadecimal  digits,  in  the  range  of  00  to  FF 

 

hexadecimal.
The microFlow.net Liquid reads the data field sent by the master to perform the actions 

indicated by the function code. The data field contains information such as discrete and 

register addresses, the number of items to be handled, and the count of actual data 

bytes in the field.
If, for example, the master directs an microFlow.net Liquid to read a group of holding 

registers (function code 03), the data field sent by the master must also indicate the 

starting register and the number of registers to be read. If the master writes to a group of 

registers in the slave (function code 10 hexadecimal), the data field sent by the master 

must also indicate the starting register, the number of registers to be written, the count 

of data bytes to follow in the data field, and the data to be written into the registers.
