Commands and responses (Communication/Modbus)
The E5AR/ER provides a set of command frames that make use of variable area read/write commands,
operation commands, and other services provided by the Modbus communication protocol.
E5AR/ER command frames are explained below.
■ Monitor value read (Communication/Modbus)
This command is used to read the PV, status, and other monitor
values. The number of elements can be set from H'0004 to 006A (4 to
106) to allow reading of monitor values in contiguous addresses.
When used in setting area 1, the response for the PV and internal SP
is "0" and the response for the status is as indicated in the notes in
"Appendix Setting list Status" (P.A-8).
The above indicates a normal end. For information on error responses,
see "7.5 Reading the variable area" (P.7-10).
