B.3 MODBUS exception responses
If the recorder detects one of the errors shown in Table B.1 while receiving a message from the host
system, it replies with a response message consisting of the recorder's MODBUS address, the function
code, the error code and the error check fields.
Code Name
01 Illegal function

Table B.1 MODBUS exception responses
Note.

Negative numbers are represented in '2's complement' format, for example, 1000 = 03E8 (Hex),
–1000 = FC18 (Hex).

The recorder cannot accept a new message until the current message has been processed and a
reply sent to the master (maximum response time 50 ms).

The recorder monitors the elapsed time between receipt of characters from the host. If the
elapsed time between two characters is 3.5 character times, the slave assumes the second
character received is the start of a new message.
