Parameter
name
Note
A1910 Setpoint timeout
The alarm is generated when p2040 ≠ 0 ms and one of the following causes is present:
The bus connection is interrupted
The MODBUS master is switched off
Communication error (CRC, parity bit, logical error)
An excessively low value for the fieldbus monitoring time (p2040)

Modbus RTU telegram
Description
For Modbus, there is precisely one master and up to 247 slaves. Communication is always
triggered by the master. The slaves can only transfer data at the request of the master.
Slave-to-slave communication is not possible. The Control Unit always operates as slave.
The following figure shows the structure of a Modbus RTU telegram.
