Note:
A telegram sent to Slave 0 is executed by all ModBus participants, but replied by none of these
devices!
At 9600 bauds, the reply time is typical 4 ms and maximal 8 ms.
A faulty command received by PR5230 (e.g., parity error in the data, or CRC error) is ignored and no reply is
sent.
The pauses between the individual characters and a command must not exceed the 3.5-fold value of a
character length; otherwise PR5230 detects a premature end of the command.
