Appendix A. Modbus Communication
Data structure of a response message:
Byte NO. Name Byte
Byte0
Modbus ID
Single byte
Byte1
Function code
Single byte
Byte2
The start address of bit registers where to write values
High byte
Byte3 Low byte
Byte4
The number of bit registers where to write values
High byte
Byte5 Low byte
Byte6
Low byte of CRC check sum
Low byte
Byte7
High byte of CRC check sum
High byte
Data structure of an exception response message:
Byte NO. Name Byte
Byte0 Modbus ID
Single byte
Byte1 0x80+ Function code
Single byte
Byte2 Exception response code
High byte
Byte3
Low byte of CRC check sum
Low byte
Byte4
High byte of CRC check sum
High byte
Note: How many bytes of data in the request message depend on the number of bit registers in the
request message.
Example
The value of %QX0.0~%QX0.7 is set to 1000 0001 and the address of %QX0.0 is 0xA000 via
function code 0F in DVP15MC11T.
Request message: 01 0F A0 00 00 08 01 81 26 55
Response message: 01 0F A0 00 00 08 76 0D
