you can skip direct to chapter "3. General information SmartAir Master".
Otherwise please read the following MODBUS informations first.

1.2 Where to find MODBUS Information on the Internet?

General information about modbus: www.modbus.org

1.3 General

The MODBUS is a protocol of master-slave type. Only one master can be used in a network: It polls individual
slaves as designated in the program. The slaves answer received calls according to the protocol.

ModBus exists in two modes: ASCII and RTU (Remote Terminal Unit). All devices on a MODBUS network must
working in the same mode.

The ModBus-RTU mode is to provide a flexible way of industrial machine controllers with low memory, low
processor capacities and with less density on the communication network.

1.4 Communication link

MODBUS is independent of the underlying physical layer. It is traditionally implemented using RS232, RS422, or
RS485 over a variety of media (fiber, radio,…). We recommend the use of the RS485 industry standard in master-
slave or a network supporting up to 32 nodes.

The controller(s) will always be the slave(s) in the communication link. An appropriate master running ModBus
protocol in RTU mode should be used.

1.5 Byte transfer format

ModBus-RTU runs in asynchronous serial data format. The baudrate of the SmartAir interface can be adjusted in
range of 2400 .. 38400 baud.

The bit sequence in the character frame is:

1 start bit

8 data bits

1 stop bit

1. General ModBus specifications

1.6 Message format

General

The bytes of the ModBus-RTU message must be send in one message. The RTU mode allows only a maximum
pause of 1.5 byte-times in-between 2 bytes.

The slave must answer each master message.

Basic Format

The master call has the following basic format:

The message content consists of several parts:

Message destination address 1byte

Function code 1 byte

Message data start address 2 bytes (HByte first)

Message data 2 or more bytes (HByte first)

Message CRC checksum 2 bytes (LByte first)

Attention !
L- and HBytes in the CRC are reversed in comparison with the other words.

Message Destination Address

The address designates a recipient on the MODBUS net.

Function code

The function code defines the slave operation requested – to read input values and send them to master or write
the data in registers etc. Although several types of function codes are defined by ModBus. We only handle the
function codes working with registers. These are:

03h : READING HOLDING REGISTERS

10h : WRITE MULTIPLE REGISTERS

Any other function codes request generates the ILLEGAL FUNCTION exception response.

Message Data Start Address

The message data start address word designates the initial address from which the data is going to be processed.
The hi-byte comes before the lo-byte.

5
1. General ModBus specifications

Message Data

The message data content depends on the function code.

READING HOLDING REGISTERS (03h)

1 word for designating the size (in words) of the data zone to be processed. This is the number of word-
registers to read.

WRITE MULTIPLE REGISTERS (10h)

1word - 1 byte - 2 words. Being 1 word for the register size, 1 byte for the number of following bytes and 2
words of data for writing 2 words to a register.

Message CRC Checksum

The CRC is a check-word generated by means of A001h polynomial.

The Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC) field is two bytes, containing a 16-bit binary value. The CRC value is
calculated by the transmitting device, which appends the CRC to the message. The receiving device recalculates
a CRC during receipt of the message, and compares the calculated value to the actual value it received in the
CRC field. If the two values are not equal, an error results. The CRC is started by first preloading a 16-bit register
to all 1's. Then a process begins of applying successive eight-bit bytes of the message to the current contents of
the register. Only the eight bits of data in each character are used for generating the CRC. Start and stop bits,
and the parity bit, do not apply to the CRC.

During generation of the CRC, each eight-bit character is exclusive ORed with the register contents. The result is
shifted in the direction of the least significant bit (LSB), with a zero filled into the most significant bit (MSB)
position. The LSB is extracted and examined. If the LSB was a 1, the register is then exclusive ORed with a
preset, fixed value. If the LSB was a 0, no exclusive OR takes place. This process is repeated until eight shifts
have been performed. After the last (eighth) shift, the next eight-bit character is exclusive ORed with the register's
current value, and the process repeats for eight more shifts as described above. The final contents of the register,
after all the characters of the message have been applied, is the CRC value.

Generating a CRC:

Step 1 Load a 16-bit register with FFFF hex (all 1's). Call this the CRC register.

Step 2 Exclusive OR the first eight-bit byte of the message with the low order byte of the 16-bit CRC register,
putting the result in the CRC register.

Step 3 Store the LSB and shift the CRC register one bit to the right (toward the LSB), zerofilling the MSB.
Extract and examine the stored LSB.

Step 4 If the LSB is 0, repeat Step 3 (another shift). If the LSB is 1, Exclusive OR the CRC register with the
polynomial value A001 hex (1010 0000 0000 0001).

Step 5 Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until eight shifts have been performed. When this is done, a complete eight-bit
byte will have been processed.

Step 6 Repeat Steps 2 ... 5 for the next eight-bit byte of the message. Continue doing this until all bytes have
been processed.

Result: The final content of the CRC register is the CRC value.

Step 7 When the CRC is placed into the message, its upper and lower bytes must be swapped as described
below.

Placing the CRC into the Message

When the 16-bit CRC (two eight-bit bytes) is transmitted in the message, the low order byte will be transmitted
first, followed by the high order byte.

Note:
This discriptions above how to generate the CRC is an original text found at the ModBus-Organisation pages. We
found this discription is not clear. We added the underlined text and deleted some words.

1.7 Message acknowledgment

The slave does not need to answer immediately, it depends on the masters 'slave response timeout' setting.
Typical less than 200ms are foreseen.

If the slave device did not receive a valid message due to a communication error (parity or CRC failure), no
response is returned, and the master will eventually process a timeout condition.

1.8 Message answer from slave to master

General

The format of the slave answer is similar to the call format:

Answer slave address 1byte

Answer function code 1 byte

Answer data at least 2 bytes (hi-byte first)

Answer CRC checksum 2 bytes (lo-byte first)

The address and function code fields are identical with the called ones. The message answer data depends on
the requested function code. The CRC checksum is calculated as the message one.

Answer Slave Address

This is the address of the slave unit.

Answer function code

This is identical as the message one on a valid received message for the unit; otherwise an exception function
code response could be generated.

The exception code response message has two fields that differentiate it from a normal response:

Function code (1byte):

In a normal response, the slave echoes the function code of the original query in the function code field of the
response. All function codes have a most significant bit (MSB) of 0 (their values are all below 80 hexadecimal). In
an exception response, the slave sets the MSB of the function code to 1. This makes the function code value in
an exception response exactly 80 hexadecimal higher than the value would be for a normal response.
With the function code's MSB set the master's application program can recognize the exception response and can
examine the data field for the exception code.

Data Field (1byte):

In a normal response, the slave may return any information that was requested in the query. In an exception
response, the slave returns an exception code in the data field. This defines the slave condition that caused the
exception.

Exception codes are:

Code Name Description

01h Illegal function The requested function code is not supported of the slave.
02h Illegal data address The slave does not support the requested message start address
03h Illegal data value The requested message data value is not supported by the slave
04h Slave device failure The slave could not execute the request

1. General ModBus specifications

Answer Data

Answer on READING HOLDING REGISTERS (Function code 03h)

The answer data message consists of one byte indicating how many bytes will follow, and an even pair of the
bytes with the contents of the requested register.

This is at least 3 bytes answer data: 1byte for bytecount and at least 2 bytes data packed as two bytes per
register. For each register, the first byte contains the high order bits and the second contains the low order bits.

Answer on WRITE MULTIPLE REGISTERS (Function code 10h)

The normal response returns the slave address, function code, starting address, and quantity of registers preset.
This is 4 bytes: 2 for address, 2 for the quantity.

Answer CRC Checksum

Is calculated on the same matter of the CRC message checksum

1.9 ModBus Troubleshooting

Problem:
No or bad response on the ModBus message

Solution:

Check if the controller is set to the correct slave address

Check if the controller is set to the correct baudrate

Check if the controller is properly set for ModBus RTU protocol

Check if the master is working in ModBus RTU mode

Check the settings of the baudrate, paritybit and number of stopbits

Check RS485 wiring, polarity…

Problem:
Last character of ModBus message is corrupted

Solution:

Check all items mentioned above

Add a delay of 1 or 2ms after last character before releasing RTS signal

Problem:
The ModBus message is reflected in the answer

Solution:

You should use a network without echo of the TX to the RX line and vice versa
