3.1.1 Message formats
The regular formats for transmitting RTU messages are shown below:
Query transaction
Broad cast transaction
If the inverter receives from the host a message in the standby status and considers it properly
received, it executes a transaction in response to the request and sends back normal response.
If the inverter judges that the message has not been received properly, it returns error response.
The inverter does not send back any response in the case of broadcast transactions.
3.1.2 Message types
Message types are classified into four types; query, normal response, error response, and
broadcast.
Query
The host sends messages to an inverter.
Normal response
After the inverter received a query from the host, the inverter executes a transaction in response
to the request, and sends back corresponding normal response.
Error response
If the inverter receives a query but cannot execute the requested function because an invalid
function code is specified or for other reasons, it sends back error response.
The error response is accompanied by a message describing the reason the request cannot be
executed.
The inverter cannot send back any response in case of a CRC or physical transmission error
(parity error, framing error, overrun error).
Broadcast
The host uses address 0 to send messages to all slaves. All slaves, which receive a broadcast
message, execute the requested function. This transaction will be terminated upon timeout of
the host.
In broadcast communication, only S01, S05, S06, S13, S14, S19, S31 to S33, and S90 to S93
can be selected from the standard frame.
