Minor Error Codes for Major Error Code 91H (at Remote Modbus/TCP
Server)
The Minor codes for Major Error Code 91H indicate standard Modbus exception codes returned from the
remote Modbus/TCP server/slave device. (These Modbus exception codes are taken from Modbus Application
Protocol V1.1b, December 28, 2006.)
Illegal function. The function code received in the query is not an allowable action for the
server. (Modbus exception code 01 ILLEGAL FUNCTION)
Illegal Data Address. The data address received in the query is not an allowable address
for the server. The combination of reference number and transfer length is invalid.
(Modbus exception code 02 ILLEGAL DATA ADDRESS)
Illegal Data Value. A value in the query field is not an allowable value for the server. This
indicates a fault in the remainder of the request, such as that the implied length is
incorrect. It specifically does NOT mean that a data item submitted for storage in the
server has an incorrect value. (Modbus exception code 03 ILLEGAL DATA VALUE)
Slave Device Failure. An unrecoverable error occurred while the server was attempting
to perform the requested action. (Modbus exception code 04 SLAVE DEVICE FAILURE)
Acknowledge. Used for Programmer operations only. Our Modbus/TCP server does not
support Modbus programmer operations. (Modbus exception code 05 ACKNOWLEDGE)
Slave Device Busy. The server is unable to accept and process handle this Modbus
request. (Modbus exception code 06 SLAVE DEVICE BUSY)
Negative Acknowledge. An internal server error occurred while attempting to process a
Modbus request. (Modbus exception code 07 NEGATIVE ACKNOWLEDGE)
Memory Parity Error. (Function codes 20 and 21 only.) The extended file area failed to
pass a consistency check. (Modbus exception code 08 MEMORY PARITY ERROR)
Reserved. (Modbus exception code 09 RESERVED)
Gateway Path Unavailable. Gateway was unable to allocate a PATH to process the
request. Usually means the gateway is misconfigured or overloaded. (Modbus exception
code 10 GATEWAY PATH UNAVAILABLE)
Gateway Target No Response. No response was obtained from target device. Usually
means that the device is not present on the network. (Modbus exception code
11 GATEWAY TARGET NO RESPONSE)
