DC-24 and DC-25 operation manual
4.3.
PROTOCOL MODBUS RTU - Word for RS-485
This protocol allows the user to communicate with devices using the protocol Modbus RTU
This protocol uses the function 06h to write and the function 03h to read data from the display.
The data block is a Word. The user can write or read data.
If the data must be sent, the sensor
mist be disabled modifying the parameter 3. See paragraph 3.3.3
Sensor control and communication protocol
The temperature is sent multiplied per 10 when writing or reading. As an example, 21,6
ºC will be sent as 216 (00D8h)
To write the temperature value, the data must be sent to register 0000h (40001). The data
format must be 16-bit word format. In the following example, the data block structure is detailed
for a 19,7ºC (00C5h) temperature writing.

To write the humidity value, the data must be sent to register 0001h (40002). The data format
must be 16-bit word format. In the following example, the data block structure is detailed for 57%
(0039h) humidity writing.

If the data block is correctly received, the display responds with the same data block it
has received
If there is an error in the reception, the display responds with an error detection block with the
following data.

The possible errors are:
02 = CRC error.
To read the temperature value, the data request must be sent to register 0002h (40003).
In the following example, the data block structure is detailed for a temperature request.

If the block is correctly received, the display responds with the temperature value in 16-
bit Word format.
Remember that the temperature is multiplied per 10.
