Figure 6.8 CRC-16 Calculation Example
Response Data
The drive does the CRC-16 calculation for the response message and makes sure that the data does not have
errors. Make sure that the calculated value is the same value as the CRC-16 in the response message.
◆ Examples of Messages for Commands/Responses
The items in this section are examples of messages for commands/responses.
■ Read the Description of Holding Register
Uses function code 03 (Hex.) to read the contents of a maximum of 16 holding registers.
The following figure shows example messages when the drive reads status signal from the drive of slave 2, the
error contents, fault contents, and frequency references.
