Below is a subset of standard Modbus functions that are supported by this 
module along with the reference register addresses that the function 
operates on.  Use these functions to access these registers as outlined in 
the Register Map for sending and retrieving data. 
 
The following Modbus functions operate on register map registers to 
monitor, configure, and control module I/O:

If an unsupported function code is sent to a module, exception code 01 
(Illegal Function) will be returned in the response.  If a holding register is 
written with an invalid value, exception code 03 (Illegal Data Value) will be 
returned in the response message.  You may refer to the Modbus 
specification for a complete list of possible error codes.

Note:

  For Model 962EN-4006, the slave ID is “01” and the firmware 

number is “9300-119”. 

 
For detailed information on Modbus, feel free to download our technical 
reference “Introduction To Modbus” at 

www.acromag.com

 
For your convenience, 9xxEN Ethernet modules mirror the contents and 
operation of registers 0xxxx, 1xxxx, & 3xxxx (as applicable) into holding 
register space for systems and controllers that cannot directly access 
registers 0xxxx, 1xxxx, & 3xxxx. 
 
All Modbus registers of this model can now be written to, or read from, using 
either the standard methods described in the Modbus specification, or 
through mapping (mirroring) to the Holding Registers.  The registers are 
mapped as follows and specifics follow the mapping: 

Register Functions 

IMPORTANT:

  When using 

your own software to 
manipulate the module, please 
note that the maximum query 
through the Modbus TCP 
interface is only 50 registers, 
due to the maximum buffer 
size limitations of the TCP/IP 
stack.  As such, you can only 
request data from 50 registers 
at one time for commands that 
access multiple registers.  For 
example, the Read Holding 
Registers command may only 
retrieve the contents of 
registers 40001 to 40051 in 
one read.
