Note 1: When using the Modbus port protocols, some addresses cannot be used for external Modbus
devices. These addresses correspond to the SYNC characters used for the Series 2 and Series 1 protocols.
Since Modbus messages begin with the Modbus device address, these messages can be confused with
Series 2 and Series 1 messages which begin with sync characters AE (Series 2), AC (Series 1 CPU3) or A5
(Series 1 CPU1). Each Modbus protocol port setting will also respond to Series 2 messages and so Modbus
device address 174 (AE Hex) cannot be used. If the Series 1 CPU3 port protocol is used, then Modbus
device address 172 (AC) cannot be used. If the Series 1 CPU1 port protocol is used, then Modbus device
address 165 (A5) cannot be used.
