B.2MODBUS FUNCTION CODES
B.2.1 SUPPORTED FUNCTION CODES
Modbus
®
officially defines function codes from 1 to 127 though only a small subset is generally needed. The relay supports
some of these functions, as summarized in the following table. Subsequent sections describe each function code in detail.
B.2.2 READ ACTUAL VALUES OR SETTINGS (FUNCTION CODE 03/04H)
This function code allows the master to read one or more consecutive data registers (actual values or settings) from a relay.
Data registers are always 16-bit (two-byte) values transmitted with high order byte first. The maximum number of registers
that can be read in a single packet is 125. See the
Modbus memory map
table for exact details on the data registers.
Since some PLC implementations of Modbus only support one of function codes 03h and 04h. The UR interpretation allows
either function code to be used for reading one or more consecutive data registers. The data starting address will determine
the type of data being read. Function codes 03h and 04h are therefore identical.
The following table shows the format of the master and slave packets in Modbus RTU. Modbus TCP/IP ADUs have a
MBAP instead of slave address, and CRC is in another stack layer. The example shows a master device requesting three
register values starting at address 4050h from slave device 11h (17 decimal); the slave device responds with the values 40,
300, and 0 from registers 4050h, 4051h, and 4052h, respectively.
