9.2 Modbus RS485 information
9.2.1 Function codes
Function codes are used to define which read or write action is carried out via the Modbus
protocol. The measuring device supports the following function codes:
Code Name Description Application
03 Read holding
register
Master reads one or more Modbus
registers from the device.
A maximum of 125 consecutive
registers can be read with 1
telegram: 1 register = 2 bytes
The measuring device does
not make a distinction
between function codes 03
and 04; these codes therefore
yield the same result.
Read device parameters with read
and write access
Example:
Read mass flow
04 Read input
register
Master reads one or more Modbus
