Field Name RTU example (Hex) Error Check Hi Total Bytes 8.2.2 Preset (Write) Multiple Registers (Function 0x10) The function code is used to write a block of contiguous registers (1 to 120 registers) in remote device. Query The query message specified the register references to be preset. Registers are addressed starting at zero: register 1 is addressed as 0.
Slave Address Function Data CRC Lo CRC Hi Note: Broadcast mode is not supported. 8.3 Sample Code 8.3.1 CRC Generation Function An example of a C language function performing CRC generation is shown on the following pages. All of the possible CRC values are preloaded into two arrays, which are simply indexed as the function increments through the message buffer.
int rcv = (5+(RegQuantities*2)); /* Send snd bytes content of msg to COMM port */ /* Receive rcv bytes of response from COMM port to MbsBuf */ if (receiving data length is same as rcv) return true; else return false; 8.3.3 Convert Data Function /****************************************************************/ Parameter:...

*1: Above sample code is according to the PR20 setting, if user need changing the MsgBuf size and RegQuantities value from PR10 or PR30, please refer to the user manual. Because the Input Register Ext data is same like Holding Register Ext data, so the data type of the ExtData must according to the setting of real case, if the data type of ExtData is 4 bytes, please refer to “ReadMathData”...
8.4.3 AI Conversion Example The below example shows the procedure to convert the raw value received in Modbus register to engineering value. If the floating point type mapped register used to read then the user don’t need to do any conversion. The register itself has the engineering value. If the integer type register is used then the user needs to do the conversion as per the below to convert the raw value to engineering value.
8.4.4.1 Transformation Disable If the transformation is set to disable and the decimal point is ‘0’ then the value received on the register don’t need any conversion. If the decimal value is set as “1”, then the value must to be divided by 10 to match with the value in Math of PR.
The high scale of this channel is 90 and low scale of this channel is 10. The value of math channel is 68. The value at Modbus register is 3092376452. The register value can be converted to math channel actual value by using the below conversion. Math value = (((Register value * (ScaleHi - ScaleLo)) / 4294967295) + ScaleLo) = ((3092376452*(90-10))/4294967295)+10) = ((3092376452*80)/ 4294967295)+10...
AO value = (((Register value * 65.535) / 65535) - 32.768) For example, the AO value received in the register is 52411 then the actual value is calculated as below. AO value = (((52411 * 65.535) / 65535) - 32.768) = 3434754.885/65535 –...
8.4.8 External Channel Conversion for AO channel Configure the channel as 2 Byte. Configure the external channel Actual Value Low as -32.768 and Actual Value High as 32.767. 8.4.9 External Channel Conversion for Math channel Configure the channel as 4 Byte. Configure the Actual Value Low and high as below depends on decimal value of Math channel configuration.
