CVM-R8A (ver. 8A21).
MODBUS PROTOCOL
The CVM-R8 & CVM-R8A (ver. A807 and ver. 8A21) can communicate either using the
own CIRCUTOR’s protocol (CIRBUS) or the standard MODBUS protocol.

SUPPORTED MODBUS’ FUNCTIONS

FUNCTION 01 Read relay status (coil status)

FUNCTION 02 Read input status

FUNCTION 3 or 4 Read n Words. This is the function used to read long type
registers from the CVM-R8.
All electrical parameters are long type; since MODBUS
manages them as integers, two bytes are required to inquire
each parameter (longs) from the CVM-R8.

FUNCTION 5 Open/Close one relay (Force single coil).

FUNCTION 6 Write 1 Word. (Preset single register) .

FUNCTION 15 Open/Close several relays (Force multiple coils)

FUNCTION 16 Preset multiple registers
