Modbus-RTU Slave Function for Replacing Existing PLCs Section 9-6
Modbus-RTU Slave Compatible Device Modes
Note 1. The response data formats for MS commands when FAL/FALS is not exe-
cuted are as follows:
Types for which a space (20 hex) is added to the FAL/FALS message in the
response data (indicated as fixed length in the above table).
Types for which a FAL/FALS message is not added to the response data
(indicated as variable length in the above table).
(A FAL/FALS message is added to the response data for both types if FAL/
FALS is executed.)
2. The following condition is an exception:
When reusing the RG command created using a CVM1/CV-series PLC
with mode B selected, the host computer program cannot be reused with-
out being changed. The difference in the response returned when the RG
command is reused and the Timer/Counter Flag for 121 words (maximum
text area) is read is as follows:
