16.2. Modbus RTU RS485 communication
Functions supported by the Modbus protocol implemented in the controller:
By default, the slave address of the controller is set to (1) ex factory. The address can be set between 1 and 247. Each
controller on the Modbus network must have a different address from the others.
The data transmission mode is RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) (not ASCII) with a word length of 8 bits.
A maximum of 47 registers can be read in a single message.
The master controller requires a silent interval of 3.5 characters (4ms at 9600 baud) between two messages.
If there are several slave controllers on the same communication line, the master controller requires a minimum silent
interval of 14 characters (16ms at 9600 baud) between the last controller response and the first question from the next
controller.
