Data Access Using The Modbus Rtu Protocol; Reading Out The Modbus Register From The Isometer; Command Of The Master To The Isometer; The Isometer® Answers The Master - Bender ISOMETER isoBAT425 Manual

7. Data access using the Modbus RTU protocol

Requests to the ISOMETER® can be made using the function code 0x03 (read multiple
registers) or the command 0x10 (write multiple registers). The ISOMETER® generates a
function-related answer and sends it back.
7.1 Reading out the Modbus register from the ISOMETER®
The required Words of the process image can be read out from the "Holding registers" of
the ISOMETER® using the function code 0x03. For this purpose, the start address and the
number of the registers to be read out have to be entered. Up to 125 Words (0x7D) can
be read out by one single request.
7.1.1 Command of the master to the
In the following example, the master of the ISOMETER® requests the content of the regis-
ter 1003 with the address 3. The register contains the channel description of measuring
channel 1.

Data access using the Modbus RTU protocol

7.2 Write Modbus register (parameter setting)

Registers in the device can be modified with the Modbus command 0x10 (set multiple
registers). Parameter registers are available from address 3000. The content of the regis-
ter is listed in the table on page 25.
7.2.1 Command of the master to the ISOMETER®
In this example, the master addresses the ISOMETER® with address 3 and requests that
the content of the register with address 3003 is set to 2.
