Modbus RTU Communications

Communications Protocol
Modbus Queries
Modbus RTU master devices initiate all exchanges by sending a query. The
query consists of the fields shown in
Table E.1 .
The SEL-751A SLAVEID setting defines the device address. Set this value to
a unique number for each device on the Modbus network. For Modbus
communication to operate properly, no two slave devices may have the same
address.
The cyclical redundancy check detects errors in the received data. If an error is
detected, the relay discards the packet.
Modbus Responses
The slave device sends a response message after it performs the action the
query specifies. If the slave cannot execute the query command for any reason,
it sends an error response. Otherwise, the slave device response is formatted
similarly to the query and includes the slave address, function code, data (if
applicable), and a cyclical redundancy check value.
