How to read MODBUS register
« on: April 24, 2021, 08:17:43 am »
Hi I'm trying to read a value using TCP/IP MODBUS, and the register number is 0FFDH. I put the start address as "0" just to test it, and got "illegal function". Then I put in 255 (decimal value of 0FF), and still got "illegal function".
 
What kind of input value do you accept for the start address on MODBUS CLIENT?

Thank you,

support

0x0FFD = 4093
If that doesn't work try +1 and -1, i.e. 4092 and 4094

Register addresses can be 0 based or 1 based, depending on Modbus device, hence try the addresses either side of 4093

Hope this helps
