Communication via Modbus TCP
The following settings for serial communication between the Modbus-Master and the SICAM Q80's Modbus-Slave
must be made when setting the device parameters, and they are required for setting the Modbus-Master's
parameters. The Slave reacts exclusively to the Master's requests. A Modbus request/response may not be longer
than 253 Bytes.
Implementation has been in conformance to "MODBUS Messaging on TCP/IP Implementation Guide V1.0b"; see also

"Modbus_Application_Protocol_V1_1b"
Port:
Standard TCP-Port: 502
up to three different ports can be defined
Number of clients: up to three Clients simultaneously
Update rate: 1 Hz to 5 Hz
Protocol structure:
TransactionNumber
2 Byte
Address [1 Byte]
Query:
Address of the Slave device (ignored for Modbus/TCP)
Response:
Address of the responding Slave-device
0 – general query answered by all Slaves
Function [1 Byte]
Query:
Command code
Response:
Result of query, error or the response contains the correct value
E.g. returning the command code, meaning that the response is free of errors. In case of an error, there may be
supplemental info in the data field.
Example in Hex
Query of registers 107 through 109 (registers are counted here starting from 0)
