5 Modbus RTU Protocol
5.1 Data Frame Format and Data Rate
One data frame of an asynchronous transmission to or from an 369 is default to 1 start bit,
8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. This produces a 10 bit data frame. This is important for
transmission through modems at high bit rates (11 bit data frames are not supported by
Hayes modems at bit rates of greater than 300 bps). The parity bit is optional as odd or
even. If it is programmed as odd or even, the data frame consists of 1 start bit, 8 data bits,
1 parity bit, and 1 stop bit.
Modbus protocol can be implemented at any standard communication speed. The 369
RS485, fiber optic and RS232 ports support operation at 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, and
19200 baud.
