timeout error from occurring in the master. The master can next issue a Poll
Program Complete message to determine if processing is completed.
0x06
Slave Device Busy
Specialized use in conjunction with programming commands.
The slave is engaged in processing a long-duration program command. The
master should retransmit the message later when the slave is free..
0x07
Negative
Acknowledge
The slave cannot perform the program function received in the query. This
code is returned for an unsuccessful programming request using function
code 13 or 14 decimal. The master should request diagnostic or error
information from the slave.
0x08
Memory Parity
Error
Specialized use in conjunction with function codes 20 and 21 and reference
type 6, to indicate that the extended file area failed to pass a consistency
check.
The slave attempted to read extended memory or record file, but detected a
parity error in memory. The master can retry the request, but service may
be required on the slave device.
0x0A
Gateway Path
Unavailable
Specialized use in conjunction with gateways, indicates that the gateway
was unable to allocate an internal communication path from the input port
to the output port for processing the request. Usually means the gateway is
misconfigured or overloaded.
0x0B
Gateway Target
Device Failed to
Respond
Specialized use in conjunction with gateways, indicates that no response
was obtained from the target device. Usually means that the device is not
present on the network.
2.2 Supported Modes
Controllers are supporting the following modes:
2.2.1 Modbus RTU over TCP (2)
Simply put, this is a Modbus RTU message transmitted with a TCP/IP wrapper and sent over a network
instead of serial lines.
For examples, to read VAR1, you need to read 2 registers from address 0x20C1 so you need to send the
following RTU message:
01 04 20 C1 00 02 2B F7
Name
Description
01
Node address
04
Function code (Read Input Registers)
20 C1
Register address for reading VAR1
00 02
Length of registers to be read (must be 2)
