4.2.3 LRC CHK (checksum)
LRC (Longitudinal Redundancy Check) is calculated by summing up the Hex values from ADR1 to last
data character then finding the 2’s-complement negation of the sum.
Example: Read the content of register at address 0401H. 01H+03H+04H+01H+00+01H = 0AH.
The 2’s-complement of 0AH: F6H
Exception response:
The PLC is expected to return a normal response after receiving command messages from the master
device. The following table depicts the conditions that either a no response or an error response is
replied to the master device.
1. The PLC did not receive a valid message due to a communication error; thus the PLC has no
response. The master device will eventually process a timeout condition.
2. The PLC receives a valid message without a communication error, but cannot accommodate it, an
