8. Commissioning with controls
8.1 Introduction To commission a Modbus slave, a special configuration of the master using
a configuration file is usually not required.
The Modbus RTU transmission is based on a simple protocol containing the
slave address, a function code with offset address, the process data, and a
checksum.
8.2 Overview of the Modbus functions for data transmission

Description
Force Single Coil 05 Sets one single bit to ON or OFF within slave
Force Multiple Coils 15 Sets several subsequent bits to ON or OFF within slave
Read Coil Status 01 Reads the status of individual pieces of output bit information out of
the slave.
Read Input Status 02 Reads the status of individual pieces of input bit information out of the
slave
Preset Single Register 06 Writs data into one single holding register (16 bit) of slave
Preset Multiple Register 16 Writes data into subsequent holding registers
Read Input Register 04 Reads the content of input data register (16 bit) out of the slave
Read Holding Register 03 Reads the content of holding registers out of the slave
