1  Frame protocol 
Data are transferred using the MODBUS protocol defined in these specifications  
exclusively in an environment defined as a master/slave system. The orderly progression of data is defined by 
the master. A slave is required to respond to its command prompt. For this reason, it is important to ensure 
that no slave address is assigned more than once when constructing a system. 
A twisted pair wire with RS485 standard should preferably be used. 
Only RTU transmission mode is supported (see MODBUS over Serial Line Specification & Implementation 
guide V1.0, chapter 2.5.1) 
ASCII transmission mode is not supported! 
1.1  Structure of a byte 
According to the MODBUS over Serial Line Specification & Implementation guide V1.0. a byte has the 
following structure: 
Start 
(low) 
Bit 0 
(LSB) 
Bit 1 
Bit 2 
Bit 3 
Bit 4 
Bit 5 
Bit 6 
Bit 7 
(MSB) 
Parity 
Stop 
(high) 
The definition of the parity bit ("Even", "Odd", "None") can be set with the parameter "Parity configuration" 
(see 2.32.2).  
The transmission rate is variable and can be set with the "transmission rate" parameter (see 2.32.1). 
1.2  Communication process 
The MODBUS over Serial Line Specification & Implementation guide V1.0 defines the following framework for 
the transmission protocol: 
Command from 
master: 
Response from fan: 
Address 
8 bits 
Command 
8 bits 
Data 
N * 8 bits 
CRC H 
8 bits 
CRC L 
8 bits 
Start 
> 3.5 char 
Address 
8 bits 
Command 
8 bits 
Data 
N * 8 bits 
CRC H 
8 bits 
CRC L

Start 
> 3.5 char 
In contrast to the general specifications, the maximum telegram length is 23 bytes!
