8.3.6 Read Holding Registers (03)
(1) Reading word of output area
When reading data of word type of output area, request and response frame is as follows.
Tail of frame is applied in case of ASCII mode.
(a) Request frame
Classification
Station
no.
Function code
(03)
Address Data size Frame error check Tail (CRLF)
Size (byte) 1 1 2 2 2 2
(b) Response frame (When receiving normal frame)
Classification
Station
no.
Function code
(03)
No. of byte Data Frame error check Tail (CRLF)
Size (Byte) 1 1 2 N*2 2 2
(c) Response frame (When receiving abnormal frame)
Classification Station no. Error code Exceptional code Tail (CRLF)
Size (byte) 1 1 1 2
(2) Details of frame
(a) Station no.: indicates the station no. of slave to read word data of output area.
(b) Function code: ‘03’ indicating Read Holding Registers
(c) Address: indicating start address of data to read. It consists of 2 byte. At this time, start address conforms to
modbus address regulation.
(d) Data size: size of data to read, consists of 2 byte
(e) Frame error check: in case of ASCII mode, it uses LRC and in case of STU mode, it uses CRC for error check.
It consists of 2 byte.
(f) Tail: it is applied in case of ASCII mode, CRLF is added after LRC.
(g) No. of byte: no. of byte of data responding
(h) Data: address of request frame is start address and transmits data with byte unit. At this time, since data is word
type, it is double of no. of byte.
(i) Error code: error code is expressed by adding 80(Hex) and in case of reading word of output area, it is
expressed 83(Hex).
(j) Exceptional code: details of error, consists of 1 byte.
(3) Frame example
Example that reads word (108~110) from station number 1 server acting as modbus RTU
