MODBUS RTU SLAVE COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL 

15.

 
The communication protocol is: 
 

 

Modbus RTU Slave (from both the RS485 and USB ports) 

 
For more information on these protocols, see the website: 

http://www.modbus.org/specs.php

. 

 
 

 

SUPPORTED MODBUS FUNCTION CODES 

15.1.

 

The following Modbus functions are supported: 

 

 

Read Holding Register  

(function 3)   

 

Write Single Register  

(function 6) 

 

Write Multiple registers  

(function 16)  

 

ATTENTION!

 

All 32-bit values are contained in 2 consecutive registers

 

 
 

 ATTENTION!

 

Any registers with RW* (in flash memory) can be written up to 10000 times 

The PLC/Master Modbus programmer must not exceed this limit
