APPENDIX A: MODBUS PROTOCOL
Modbus communication protocol
Modbus and DNP3 protocol are enabled via RS232 or RS485 or USB communication port. The response is the
same type as the request.
Modbus protocol
Modbus protocol enables operation of device on Modbus networks. For device with serial communication the
Modbus protocol enables point to point (for example Device to PC) communication via RS232 communication
and multi drop communication via RS485 communication. Modbus protocol is a widely supported open
interconnect originally designed by Modicon.
The memory reference for input and holding registers is 30000 and 40000 respectively.
At MODBUS register 40100 (MODBUS table for measurements) you can select register map. Value "0" is MC7X0
compatible register map. Value "1" is MI71X0 compatible register map.
