46. 5 Modbus Function Code The function code in the Master device query tells the addressed slave device what kind of action to perform The data bytes contain any additional information that the slave will need to perform the function For example function code 03 will query the slave to read holding registers and respond with their contents The data field must contain the information telling the slave which register to start at and how many registers to read Modbus I O addressing The Modbus protocol allows for two types of I O addressing implied and extended Implied addressing uses the function code to determine the I O address and only requires the minimum address i e 40012 Ox0C the 4nnnn is implied The extended address contains the entire I O address i e 40012 0x9C4C Another example Using holding register 40108 to address a DAC or analog output The function code field already specifies a holding register operation Therefore the 4nnnr reference is implicit Holding register 40108 is addressed as register 0x006B 107 decimal The B amp B Zlinx series of remote I O devices uses the implied I O addressing method If your device is sending the full extended I O address an error will occur Modbus Counters Base Modules In Modbus mode a Base Module supports two Digital Inputs as counters O Frequency UO Accumulators There are four accumulator registers on only the Base Module which hold accumulators info
