(1) Read Input Register (0x04)
[Function]
Read values of input registers. The address and the content of input registers are

same holding register on the all slave units. The address and the content of holding
registers are described in “3. Modbus registers”.

[Query]
The query message specifies the start address of the register and a value. The
register addressed starting at zero: register 40001 is addressed as 0.
Here is an example of a request to slave address 1 to write a value 2 to register
42002.

(3) Preset multiple registers (0x10)

[Function]
Write values to holding registers. In the case of broadcast, the value is written to the
same holding register on the all slave units. The address and the content of holding
registers are described in “3. Modbus registers”.

[Query]
The query message specifies the start address of the register, size of data and values.
The register addressed starting at zero: register 40001 is addressed as 0.
This function can write up to 30 registers at one query.
Here is an example of a request to slave address 1 to write 2 values to register 42001
to 42002.

(4) Exception response

In the case query message has a problem, this DⅢ-NET/Modbus Communication

adaptor will reply exception response. The function code of exception response is
added 0x80 to original function code to inform this response is exception response.
And the exception response include exception code which shows reason of the
problem.

Exception code Name Reason

0x01 Illegal function This function code is not supported
0x03 Illegal data This query includes unauthorized data

[Example of exception response]

・In the case of reading values of 36 input registers: start address:31001.
It is up to 32 registers that ｔhis function can read at one query.

2-2-5.Character format
Each byte of a message is sent as character data as follows.
A character consists of start bit (0), 8bits data, parity bit and stop bit(1). One character
size is always 11btis and stop bit 1 or 2 is selected by parity bit.

[Non Parity]

0(LSB) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10(MSB)

Start bit Data Stop bit 1 Stop bit 2

[Parity]

Start bit Data Stop bit 2
(Odd or Even)

2-2-6.Silent interval time

Every frame has to have silent interval time(T1-T2-T3-T4) before and after. The silent
interval time is depend on communication speed.

Baud Rate(bps) 9600 19200

Silent Interval Time(ms)
5 2.5
(T1-T2-T3-T4)

2-2-7.Response time
This DⅢ-NET/Modbus Communication adaptor response a message after response
time(t1) when this adaptor receives a query message. The response time(t1) of this
adaptor is “Silent Interval Time(T1-T2-T3-T4) + 20ms”.
Modbus master has to wait to send next query message for time interval(t2) when the
modbus master receives a response from the DⅢ-NET/Modbus Communication
adaptor . The time interval(t2) should be more than “Silent Interval Time(T1-T2-T3-T4) +
20ms”.

a Holding Register is changed. So HA System has to update Holding Register values
when HA System read current status from Input Registers. Otherwise an operation from
the HA system will be ignored.(Refer to 5.Important points on operation by HA system )

Note
When the following value is set to this register, the value is treated as an unauthorized
data and DⅢ-NET/Modbus Communication adaptor sends the exceptional response.
　　・Set the value 0 for VRV having no Fan mode capability.
　　・Set the value 1 for VRV having no Heating mode capability.
　　・Set the value 2 for VRV having no Cooling mode capability.
　　・Set the value 3 for VRV which Cool/Heat master is 1:Slave.
　　・Set the value 3 for VRV having no Auto or no Heating and Cooling mode capability.
　　・Set the value 6 for VRV which Cool/Heat master is 2:Master.
　　・Set the value 6 for VRV having no Heating and Cooling mode capability.
　　・Set the value 7 for VRV having no Dry mode capability.
　　・Set the value shown “-” at the list previous.

Note
Please set value 0 to this entry after reset the filter sign. Otherwise filter sign will
never appeared again.

(3) Operation status (0 - 2)

This register select setpoint for heating or cooling under Auto mode.
Before setting setpoint under Auto mode, this register has to be set to “1” or “2”.

This register controls setpoint of the indoor unit (0.1 degC step).
This value multiplied by 10 to store as an integer value.
16bit signed integer.

Note
On setting the Setpoint
In case of connected outdoor units are “RQCEQ-PY1”, “Auto” can be set as operation mode.
If operation mode of each indoor unit is “Auto”, indoor units automatically change operation mode
“Auto（Cooling）or Auto（Heating）” with the relation between room temperature and setpoint.

On operation mode “Auto”, setpoint may be changed automatically. In this case, setpoint on
“Auto(Cooling)”and setpoint on “Auto(Heating)” may have the differential.

In case of setting setpoint after setting operation mode "Auto” from HA system, even if the operation
mode is changed by remote controller, setting setpoint is treated as setpoint of operation mode "Auto",
and setpoint may be different from setting value.

If the VRV system contains outdoor unit "RQCEQ-PY1", Holding Resister which contains
operation mode must be synchronized on the status of indoor units by getting the status.
After the synchronization, the settpoing must be set.

＜Operation for setting setpoint＞

*Please refer to below chart.
1.Get a value of Input Resister(3) which contains an operation mode of target indoor unit.(=“B”)
2.Set the getting value “B” to Holding Resister(1) for the target indoor unit.

5. Important points on operation by HA system

DⅢ-NET/Modbus Communication adaptor sends the command to VRV when the value
of a Holding Register is changed.
Specially in case that indoor units are operated from remote controller, HA system always
have to get the status of indoor units and set the getting status to Holding Resisters.
Below is example for ON/OFF operation.
Note
The interval setting to the same register is over 0.5s.
