2.1 General Modbus RTU

The module complies with the Modbus serial line protocol [Reference 1].

Among other things, this implies a master-slave protocol at level 2 of the OSI model. One
node, (the master), issues explicit commands to one of the „slave“-nodes and processes responses.
Slave nodes will not transmit data without request from the master node, and do not communicate with
other slaves. Modbus is a mono master system, which means that only one master can be
connected at any single point in time.

Two modes of communication are possible, Unicast and Broadcast. Unicast mode is where
the master sends a request to one slave device, and waits a specified time for a response. In
Broadcast mode the master sends out a request to address „0“, which means that the information is
for all slave devices on the network. In Broadcast mode there is no response from the slave
devices.

The Modbus frame is shown below, and is valid for both requests and responses.

Further details of the Modbus protocol can be found in Reference 1 and 2.

MAGX2 Modbus RTU User Guide -4- V1.5 23-01-2018

3. Commissioning

Before communicating with the master, Baud rate, slave ID and Parity must be selected. This
can be done from the display. Please look at into the MAGX2 transmitter manual to locate the Modbus
menu. (see Reference 3.)

4. Modbus addressing module
The module allows R/W access to the following standard Modbus data register blocks:
• Holding registers

I.e. the module will not support the other standard data register blocks:
• Coils
• „Discrete input“
• „Input registers“

4.1 Modbus function codes

This device supports following function codes: 3, 16 and 17.

Function code 3 and 16 are used for accessing registers. Function code 17 (report slave ID)
will return a structure of identification information of the device. Below the different function code
exceptions are described.

Function code 3 (Read holding registers)

General exceptions:
• Requesting less than 1 or more than 125 registers => Exception 3 (Illegal data value)
• Requesting more than max. message size => Exception 2 (Illegal data address)
• Requesting data above/crossing limitation of max. register address (0xFFFF) => Exception 2
(Illegal data address)
• If the end address is only part of a mapped holding register item (e.g. one half of a longint
value) => Exception 2 (Illegal data address)

Application exceptions:
• Application errors => Exception 2 (Illegal data address)
Holes/register alignment:
• The read command always returns data if no exception is given. Bad start/end alignment will
result in only parts of the data item being read.
• Holes in the holding register map return Exception 2 (Illegal data address)

Function code 16 (Write multiple registers)

General exceptions:
• Exceeding max. message size => Exception 2 (Illegal data address)
• Writing data above/crossing limitation of max. register address (0xFFFF) => Exception
2(Illegal data address)
Application exceptions:
• Application errors => Exception 2 (Illegal data address)
• Application errors include writing to ReadOnly holding registers
Holes / register alignment:
• If start-address is not the start of a mapped holding register => Exception 2 (Illegal data
address)
• Writing to holes is not allowed => Exception 2 (Illegal data address)
• If the end address is only part of a mapped holding register item (e.g. one half of a longint
value), the action depends on the datatype.
• If the end address is only part of a mapped holding register item (e.g. one half of a longint
value) => Exception 2 (Illegal data address)

Function code 17 (Report Slave ID)

• There are no exceptions for this function

Holding registers memory map

When writing to the Holding registers, data validity is not checked. Writing incorrect values can
result in unexpected behaviour of the device. In any further explanations, the following data types are
used:

Longint – Number consisting of 32 bits, formed by 2 Modbus registers. It is necessary to write

both Low and High Word of this item, the register number always has to be an even number. Not
meeting these requirements will cause an Exception 2 error (Illegal data address). In case information
about the number of decimals is available, then the final number is given by the following formula: Y =
X * 10^(-DEC), where Y is the final number, X the read number, and DEC the number of decimals.

Bool – this item can be read, but its value has no meaning. Writing value 1 to this item will
cause an unspecified operation to be performed (erasing the Memory module, resetting the flow
totalizers, etc. Reference 3). It is necessary to write both Low and High Word of this item, the register
number always has to be an even number. Not meeting these requirements will cause an Exception 2
error (Illegal data address).

Float – IEEE 754-1985 single precistion (Approximately 7 decimal digits), number consisting of
32 bits, formed by 2 Modbus registers. It is necessary to write both Low and High Word of this item,
the register number always has to be an even number. Not meeting these requirements will cause an
−38 38
Exception 2 error (Illegal data address). Full range ±1.18×10 to ±3.4×10 .

necessary to enter a password in the same way as for the MAGX2 flowmeter menu, see reference 3.

*) For safety purposes, it is not possible to read this item directly. In case a 0 is read from this
register, it means that no valid password was entered, and the given section is not accessible. In case
a 1 is read, a valid password was entered and hence the given section can be accessed freely. To
close the section, you write any possible invalid password to the password entry.
