CEM-C31 7�2�2�- MODBUS PROTOCOL The MODBUS protocol is a communication standard in the industry that enables the network connection of multiple devices, where there is a master and multiple slaves. Within the MODBUS protocol the CEM-C31-485-xx uses the RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) mode. In RTU mode, message starts and ends are detected with silences of at least 3.5 characters, and the 16-bit CRC error-detection method is used.
CEM-C31 The device will respond to us with the next frame: Initial Address Function Register no� Register 03E8 0001 Note: The values are shown in hexadecimal. The number of registers to write must be the same as the size of the variable that is being accessed. It is possible to write several consecutive addresses, if the request meets the correct format.
