MODBUS communication

Overview
In MODBUS, only the master can start a communication and the slave will answer it. There
are two ways of sending a message to a slave. One is unicast mode (address 1 to 247),
where the master addresses the slave directly; the other is broadcast mode (address 0),
where the master addresses all slaves.
When a slave has received a message, which was addressed at it, the Function Code tells it
what to do. For the task defined by the Function Code, the slave may receive some data.
And for error checking a CRC code is also included.
After receiving and processing a unicast message, the MODBUS slave will send a reply, but
only if no error was detected in the received message. If a processing error occurs, the slave
will reply with an error message. The following fixed framing characters in a message cannot
be altered: 8 data bits, 1 parity bit, and 1 or 2 stop bits.

Setting
Defines the number of 16-bit words in PKW part of USS telegram.
Possible settings:
= 0, 3, 4: 0, 3 or 4 words
= 127: variable length (factory default)
If time set to 0, no fault is generated (i.e. watchdog disabled).
The state of the telegram information on RS485 is reported re-
gardless of the protocol set in P2023.
Displays process data transmitted via USS/MODBUS on RS485.
Sets the parity of MODBUS telegrams on RS485.
Possible settings:
= 0: no parity
= 1: odd parity
= 2: even parity
Sets the number of stop bits in MODBUS telegrams on RS485.
Possible settings:
= 1: 1 stop bit
= 2: 2 stop bits
