B.8 Message Examples
B.8 Message Examples
Below are some examples of command and response messages.
u
Reading Drive MEMOBUS/Modbus Register Contents
Using the function code 03H (Read), a maximum of 16 MEMOBUS/Modbus registers can be read out at a time.
The following table shows message examples when reading status signals, error details, data link status, and frequency
references from the slave 2 drive.

Loopback Test
Function code 08H performs a loopback test that returns a response message with exactly the same content as the command
message. The response message can be used to check communications between the master and slave. User-defined test code
and data values can also be set.
The following table shows a message example when performing a loopback test with the slave 1 drive.

Writing to Multiple Registers
Function code 10H allows the user to write multiple drive MEMOBUS/Modbus registers with one message. This process
works similar to reading registers, in that the address of the first register to be written and the data quantity are set in the
command message. The data to be written must be consecutive so that the register addresses are in order, starting from the
specified address in the command message. The data order must be high byte then lower byte.
The following table shows an example of a message where a forward operation has been set with a frequency reference of
60.0 Hz for the slave 1 drive.
If parameter values are changed using the Write command, an Enter command may be necessary to activate or save the data
depending on the setting of H5-11.
