Error Responses

If an error is detected in the message received by the unit, the function code in the response is the received function
code with the most significant bit set, and the data field will contain the exception code byte (see Table 13 below).
Exception Code
01
02
03
If the first byte of a message is not equal to the unit's Modbus address or if the unit detects a parity error in any
character in the received message (with even or odd parity enabled) or if the message CRC is incorrect, the unit will not
respond.

Command Message Format

The start address is equal to the desired first register number minus one. The addresses derived from the start address
and the number of registers must all be mapped to valid defined registers, or an invalid data address exception will
occur.
