Function code 7 (Read exception status)
The device provides the content of the parameter Global alarm status as exceptions.
Function code 8 (Diagnostics)
The diagnostics function provides means for checking the communication between MODBUS
master and slave. The function uses a sub-function code to select the functionality.
The following sub-function codes are supported:
Sub-function code Name
0 Return query data
1 Restart communications option
Function code 17 (Report Slave ID)
The transmitter will respond to a Report Slave ID request from the master by giving information
about device type, vendor, and firmware version in a format as shown:
Response
Slave address 1 byte
Function code 1 byte
Byte count 1 byte
Slave ID 1 byte
Run indicator 1 byte
Manufacturer name 12 bytes
Product name 32 bytes
Product firmware 16 bytes
version
CRC 2 bytes
