Sedona Modbus
The Modbus protocol defines a message structure and format used in communication
transactions. Modbus devices communicate using a master-slave method, in which only the
master device can initiate a communications transaction. There can be only one master
device on a Modbus network. All other devices must be Modbus Slaves.
WARNING! Before programming Modbus kits, please check if the latest kit version is used.
The latest kits are available on GC5 support website:

Modbus registers
A Modbus device holds transient (real-time) data and often persistent (configuration) data in
addressable
registers
. Here, the term “registers” implies all addressable data, but this is a loose
interpretation. Using Modbus nomenclature, all accessible data in a Modbus Slave is
contained in the following four available groups of data flags and registers (including the
Modbus Master access that is possible):
