Communication over Modbus RTU
Overview of communication using Modbus
The Modbus protocol is a communication protocol with linear topology based on a
master/slave architecture.
Modbus offers three transmission modes:
●
Modbus ASCII
Data is transferred in ASCII code. The data can therefore be read directly by humans,
however, the data throughput is lower in comparison to RTU.
●
Modbus RTU
Modbus RTU (RTU: Remote Terminal Unit): Data is transferred in binary format and the
data throughput is greater than in ASCII code.
●
Modbus TCP
This type of data transmission is very similar to RTU, except that TCP/IP packages are
used to send the data. TCP port 502 is reserved for Modbus TCP. Modbus TCP is
currently undergoing definition as a standard (IEC PAS 62030 (pre-standard)).
The Control Unit supports Modbus RTU as a slave with even parity.

Communication settings
●
Communication using Modbus RTU takes place over the RS485 interface with a
maximum of 247 slaves.
●
The maximum cable length is 1200 m (3281 ft).
●
Two 100 kΩ resistors are provided to polarize the receive and send cables.
CAUTION
It is not permitted to change over the units!
The "Unit changeover (Page 219)" function is not permissible with this bus system!
