Error check:
Modbus-RTU uses CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) for error checking.
• The CRC code is 16-bit data that is generated for 8-bit blocks of arbitrary
length.
• The CRC code is generated by a generator polynomial CRC-16 (X16+
X15+ X2+ 1).
Header and trailer (silent interval):
Latency is the time between the reception of a query from the master and
transmission of a response from the inverter.
• 3.5 characters (24 bits) are always required for latency time. If the latency
time shorter than 3.5 characters, the inverter returns no response.
• The actual transmission latency time is the sum of silent interval
(3.5 characters long) + C078 (transmission latency time).
