10.3.- MODBUS
©
Protocol
The CBS-8 system analyzer can communicate via MODBUS
©
protocol, as described below.
The MODBUS
©
protocol uses RTU mode (Remote terminal Unit). Each
8-bit byte in a message contains two hexadecimal 4 bit characters.
The format for each byte in RTU mode is:
* Code : 8- bit binary , hexadecimal 0-9, A-F
2 hexadecimal characters in each 8
bit field of the message.
* Bits per byte : 8 data bits
* Field CHECK- ERROR : CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check).
MODBUS FUNCTIONS USED IN THE CBS-8
:
FUNCTION 03h and 04h Reading n Words (16 bits - 2 bytes). The reading
function used by all of the CBS-8 parameters.
FUNCTION 06h Writing one WORD (16 bits - 2 bytes) in one
position in the memory.
FUNCTION 10h Writing n WORDS (16 bits - 2 bytes) in
consecutive positions in the memory.
