Exception Responses for Modbus TCP Server and Modbus RTU Slave

NOTE
The exception responses for Modbus TCP (Ethernet) and Modbus RTU (serial) are the same.
The Modbus server performs a series of consistency checks of the Modbus client requests, and if errors (for
example request to read a nonexistent register) are detected, it generates Modbus exception codes which are
signaled to the Modbus client in exception responses messages.
The messages contain the following codes:
Exception Code 01 ILLEGAL_FUNCTION
• The Modbus client uses a function that is not supported by the Modbus server of the SICAM Q100. The
supported Modbus functions are listed in chapter .
Exception Code 02 ILLEGAL_DATA_ADDRESS
• An attempt is made to read out or write to a nonexistent Modbus register (see chapter 2.2.7, Modbus
mapping for valid registers).
• An attempt is made to read out or write to too many registers. A Modbus message enables reading out
125 holding registers and writing to 123 holding registers maximum.
• The Modbus client tries to write to a register in the Modbus server for which only read access is allowed
according to the Modbus mapping (see chapter 2.2.7).
