17.2.8 Excerpt from Modbus list
The electric actuator in firmware version 3.10 and higher can be fitted with an RS-485 mod-
ule to use the Modbus-RTU protocol. This protocol is a master/slave protocol. In this case, a
control station is the master and the electric actuator the slave, for example.
The following Modbus functions are supported:
Code
Modbus function
1
Read Coils
3
Read Holding Registers
5
Write Single Coil
6
Write Single Register
15
Write Multiple Coils
16
Write Multiple Registers
The electric actuator can issue the following Modbus error responses:
Error code
Error
1
Illegal function
2
Illegal data address
3
Illegal data value
4
Slave device failure
6
Slave device busy
Several important data points from the Modbus data point list are listed below. The entire da-
ta point list is available on request.
