CONNECTION IN BUS SYSTEMS TWM 9000 For proper operation of Modbus in half duplex mode in single or multi-drop communication, it is recommended that a termination resistor is applied to both ends of the data line. The simplest form of termination is line-to-line resistor across the differential input.

MODBUS PROTOCOL TWM 9000 6.1 General information concerning the protocol Using RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) format, data is transmitted as 8 bit binary characters. There are no special characters to determine the start and end of a message frame. Synchronization is achieved by a minimum silent period of at least 3.5 character times before the start of each frame transmission and a maximum silent period of 1.5 character times between...
MODBUS PROTOCOL TWM 9000 6.3 Addressing In the following tables the Modbus protocol addresses / data addresses are listed. Some systems cannot use addresses above 9999. For these systems there is the possibility to use the listed addresses but • for Input Registers omit the leading 3 of 3xxxx;...
MODBUS PROTOCOL TWM 9000 6.5 Device identification on the Modbus interface The device identification is according to the category "Regular" according to the Modbus Application Protocol Specification V1.1a. Function code 43 / 14 (0x2B / 0x0E). Modbus object Id Object name / Description...
MODBUS PROTOCOL TWM 9000 6.7 Input registers Measurement and status values are read only and can be accessed as Modbus "Input Registers". Also the result of a calibration procedure is accessed by an input register at Modbus Protocol Address 20000. The type are one or more float values.
MODBUS PROTOCOL TWM 9000 6.8 Holding registers Some parameters of the device can be accessed as Modbus holding registers. Function code 03 (0x03) for "Read" operations and function code 16 (0x10) for "Write" operations. The holding registers are grouped into the following different sections.
