PAX2S Frequently Used Modbus Registers
Only frequently used registers are shown below. The entire Modbus Register Table can be found at www.redlion.net.
The following is an example of the necessary query and corresponding response for holding register 2. In this example register 2 is the decimal value 123.
Query: 01 03 00 01 00 01 D5 CA
Response: 01 03 02 00 7B F8 67
Notes:
1. The PAX registers can be read as holding (4x) or input (3x) registers.
2. For a value spanning two registers, the portion of the value less than 65,535 will be in (Lo word) register and the portion of the value greater than 65,535 will
continue into (Hi word) register. Negative values are represented by two’s complement of the combined (Hi word) and (Lo word).
3. The PAX2 should not be powered down while parameters are being changed. Doing so may result in an in-complete write to the non-volatile memory and produce
checksum errors.

response time window (t2) of 2 msec minimum and 15 msec maximum. The
response time of this terminating character requires that sending drivers release
within 2 msec after the terminating character is received.
At the beginning of time interval t3, the unit responds with the first character
of the reply. As with t1, the time duration of t3 is dependent on the number of
characters and baud rate of the channel.
t3 = (10 * # of characters) / baud rate.
At the end of t3, the unit is ready to receive the next command. The
maximum serial throughput of the unit is limited to the sum of the times t1, t2
and t3.
COMMUNICATION FORMAT
Data is transferred from the unit through a serial communication channel. In
serial communications, the voltage is switched between a high and low level at
a predetermined rate (baud rate) using ASCII encoding. The receiving device
reads the voltage levels at the same intervals and then translates the switched
levels back to a character.
The voltage level conventions depend on the interface standard. The table
lists the voltage levels for each standard.
LOGIC INTERFACE STATE RS232* RS485*

transmitted. Since the sending and receiving devices operate at the same Stop bit
transmission speed (baud rate), the data is read without timing errors. The last character transmitted is the stop bit. The stop bit provides a single bit
period pause to allow the receiver to prepare to re-synchronize to the start of a
new transmission (start bit of next byte). The receiver then continuously looks
for the occurrence of the start bit. If 7 data bits and no parity is selected, then 2
stop bits are sent from the PAX.
