User manual - MODULE SOC-8 4.3. MAINTENANCE The unit does not have any internal replaceable or adjustable components available to the user. Pay attention to the ambient temperature in the room where the unit is operating. Excessively high temperatures cause faster ageing of the internal components and shorten the fault-free time of unit operation.
User manual - MODULE SOC-8 At this moment MASTER controller should find new device and readdress it (to address other than 0xFF and 0xFE). After remote readdressing green LED indicator starts to flashes again. Simultaneously with change of device address, baud rate is changed to 9600 bit/s.
User manual - MODULE SOC-8 6. THE MODBUS PRO TOCOL HANDLING Transmission parameters: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity control Baud rate: selectable from: 1200 to 115200 bits/second Transmission protocol: MODBUS RTU compatible The device parameters and display value are available via RS-485 interface, as HOLDING- type registers (numeric values are given in U2 code) of Modbus RTU protocol.
User manual - MODULE SOC-8 6.2. TRANSMISSION ERRORS DESCRIPTION If an error occurs while write or read of single register, then the device sends an error code according to Modbus RTU specifications. Error codes: 01h - illegal function (only functions 03h and 06h are available),...
