2 Modbus RTU protocol
The Modbus RTU protocol is the standard protocol used for the communica-
tion from the GenSet.
The bus interface provides a serial connection. The protocol is implemented
according to the following definitions:
Modbus application protocol specification, Modbus over serial line speci-
fication and implementation guide,
Important
For serial Modbus communication the following hardware require-
ments must be observed:
Control Module S: Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII possible
Gateway Module: only Modbus RTU available
There are two serial interface standards available:
RS422 – Standard, 4 + 2 wire (cable length <= 100m), cable type as
specified by the circuit diagram, line termination: 120 Ohms
RS485 – Standard, 2 + 2 wire (cable length <= 100m), cable type as
specified by the circuit diagram, line termination: 120 Ohms
