
Communication Data Structure
ASCII Mode:
Start
Slave Address
Function
Data (n-1)
.......
Data (0)
LRC
End 1
End 0
The start character of communication in ASCII mode is colon '：' (ASCII is 3AH), ADR is the ASCII
code of two characters. The end code is CR (Carriage Return) and LF (Line Feed). And the
communication address, function code, data content, error checking LRC (Longitudinal
Redundancy Check), etc are between the start character and end code.
RTU Mode:
Start
Slave Address
Function
Data (n-1)
.......
Data (0)
CRC
End 1
The start of communication in RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) mode is a silent interval. The end of it
is another silent interval. The communication address, function code, data content, error checking
CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check), etc are between the start and the end.
