Error Checking
The RTU version of Modbus includes a 2-byte CRC-16 (16-bit cyclic redundancy check) with
every transmission. The CRC-16 algorithm essentially treats the entire data stream (data
bits only; start, stop and parity are ignored) as one continuous binary number. This number
is first shifted left 16 bits and then divided by a characteristic polynomial
(11000000000000101B). The 16-bit remainder is appended to the end of the transmission,
MSByte first. The resulting message including CRC, when divided by the same polynomial
at the receiver, results in a zero remainder if no transmission errors have occurred.
If a PQM Modbus slave device receives a transmission in which an error is indicated by the
CRC-16 calculation, the slave device will not respond to the transmission. A CRC-16 error
indicates that one or more bytes of the transmission were received incorrectly and thus
the entire transmission should be ignored in order to avoid the PQM performing any
incorrect operation.
The CRC-16 calculation is an industry standard method used for error detection. An
algorithm is included here to assist programmers in situations where no standard CRC-16
calculation routines are available.

CRC-16
Algorithm
Once the following algorithm is complete, the working register "A" will contain the CRC
value to be transmitted. Note that this algorithm requires the characteristic polynomial to
be reverse bit ordered. The MSbit of the characteristic polynomial is dropped since it does
not affect the value of the remainder. The following symbols are used in the algorithm:
-->
data transfer
A
16 bit working register
AL
low order byte of A
AH
high order byte of A
CRC
16 bit CRC-16 value
i,j
loop counters
(+)
logical exclusive-or operator
Di
i-th data byte (i = 0 to N-1)
G
16-bit characteristic polynomial = 1010000000000001 with MSbit
dropped & bit order reversed
shr(x)
shift right (the LSbit of the low order byte of x shifts into a carry flag, a '0'
is shifted into the MSbit of the high order byte of x, all other bits shift
right one location
ALGORITHM:
1. FFFF hex --> A
2. 0 --> i
3. 0 --> j
4. Di (+) AL --> AL
5. j+1 --> j
6. shr(A)
7. is there a carry? No: go to 8.
Yes: G (+) A --> A
