Function Code 07H
Modbus Implementation: Read Exception Status
869 Implementation: Read Device Status
The function used to quickly read the status of a selected device. A short message length
allows for rapid reading of status. The status byte returned has individual bits set to 1 or 0
depending on the status of the slave device. For this example, consider the following
869 general status byte:
Table 10-9: Master Packet Format for Function Code 07H
Table 10-10: Slave Packet Format for Function Code 07H
Function code 07H includes the following bit masks:

Function Code 08H
Modbus Implementation: Loopback
869 Implementation: Loopback Test
The function is used to test the integrity of the communication link. The 869 echos the
request.
For example, consider a loopback test from slave 17:
