1.1 Modbus conversion formula

The word data are regarded as unsigned (positive) data in the Modbus message.
However,the actual value of the parameter may be negative value with decimal
point. The high/low scale values for each parameter are used for the purpose of
such a conversion

In reality, Modbus value is different than process value.

Modbus value should be converted using scaling information to get actual value

Let M=Value of Modbus message

A=Actual value of the parameter
SL=Scale low value of the parameter
SH=Scale high value of the parameter
RH=Range low value of the parameter
RL=Range high value of the parameter
The conversion formulas are as follows:

A=M*(SH-SL)/65535+SL

For AI and Math, the conversion formulas are as follows:

A = ((M*(SH-SL))/(RH-RL))+SL

For AI, the RH = 32767, RL = -32768

For Math, the RH=4294967395, RL = 0

For AO, the conversion formulas are as follows:

A = ((M*SH)/RH)+SL
SH = 65.535, SL = -32.768
RH = 65535, RL = 0

Note1: Please refer section 1.2 & 1.3 for Scale Low (SL) and Scale high (SH) values for
the Modbus registers

Note2: Please refer channel configuration directly in the Paperless Recorder for
Range low (RL) and Range high (RH)values for the IO channels including Analog Input,
Math, Analog Output ec..

1.3 Modbus Communications

1.3.1 Read Input Registers (Function 0x04)

The function code is used to read from 1 to 120 contiguous input registers in
remote device.

Query
The query message specifies the starting register and quantity of registers to be
read. Registers are addressed starting at zero: register 1 – 16 are addressed as 0
– 15.
Here is an example of a request to read register 0 (register type is Input
Register, address is 1) from slave device 1:

Field Name RTU example (Hex)

Slave Address 01
Function 04
Starting Address Hi 00
Starting Address Lo 00
Quantity of Registers Hi 00
Quantity of Registers Lo 01
Error Check Lo 31
Error Check Hi CA
Total Bytes 8

Response
The register data in the response message are packed as two bytes per
registers, with the binary contents right justified within each byte. For each
register, the first byte contains the high order bits and the second contains the
low order bits.
The response is return when the data is completely assembled. Here is an
example of a response to the query on the opposite page:

Field Name RTU example (Hex)

Slave Address 01
Function 04
Byte Count 02
Data Hi 00
Data Lo 0A
Error Check Lo 39
Error Check Hi 37
Total Bytes 7

20
1.3.2 Preset (Write) Multiple Registers (Function 0x10)

The function code is used to write a block of contiguous registers (1 to 120

registers) in remote device.

Query
The query message specified the register references to be preset. Registers are
addressed starting at zero: register 1 is addressed as 0. The requested preset
values are specified in the query data field. Data is packed as two bytes per
register.
Here is an example of a request to preset two registers starting at 40001 to 00
0A and 01 02 hex in slave device 1:

Field Name RTU example (Hex)

Slave Address 01
Function 10
Starting Address Hi 00
Starting Address Lo 00
Quantity of Registers Hi 00
Quantity of Registers Lo 02
Byte Count 04
Data Hi 00
Data Lo 0A
Data Hi 01
Data Lo 02
Error Check Lo 53
Error Check Hi FC
Total Bytes 13

Response
The normal response returns the slave address, function code, starting address
and quantity of registers preset. Here is an example of a response to the query
shown above

Field Name RTU example (Hex)

Slave Address 01
Function 10
Starting Address Hi 00
Starting Address Lo 00
Quantity of Registers Hi 00
Quantity of Registers Lo 02
Error Check Lo 41
Error Check Hi C8
Total Bytes 13

1.3.3 Placing CRC into the message

When the 16 bit CRC (two 8 bit bytes) is transmitted in the message, the low
order byte will be transmitted first, followed by the high order byte.
For example, if the CRC value is 1241 hex:

Slave Address Function Data CRC Lo CRC Hi

-- -- -- 41 12

＊ Note: Broadcast is not supported.

1.4 Sample code

1.4.1 CRC Generation Function

An example of a C language function performing CRC generation is shown on

the following pages. All of the possible CRC values are preloaded into two
arrays, which are simply indexed as the function increments through the
message buffer. One array contains all of the 256 possible CRC values for the
high byte of the 16 bit CRC field, and the other array contains all of the values
for the low byte. Indexing the CRC in this way provides faster execution than
would be achieved by calculating a new CRC value with each new character
from the message buffer.

/****************************************************************
/
// Parameter:
// puchMsg -> unsigned char* puchMsg: message to calculate CRC upon
// usDataLne -> unsigned short usDataLen: quantity of bytes in message
/****************************************************************
/
unsigned short CRC16(puchMsg, usDataLen)
{
unsigned char uchCRCHi=0xFF; /* high byte of CRC initialized */
unsigned char uchCRCLo=0xFF; /* low byte of CRC initialized */
unsigned uIndex; /* will index into CRC lookup table */
while (usDataLen––) /* pass through message buffer */
{
uIndex = uchCRCHi ^ *puchMsgg++; /* calculate the CRC */
uchCRCHi = uchCRCLo ^ auchCRCHi[uIndex];
uchCRCLo = auchCRCLo[uIndex] ;

22
 }
return (uchCRCHi << 8 | uchCRCLo) ;
}
