A.6 Modbus Troubleshooting
Table 10 Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Causes Solution
No Modus Response
Baud rate, or stop bits does not
match settings of Modbus master
Verify sc100 settings match the Modbus master
settings.Verify Modbus master Parity setting is set to
None.
Bad RS232 or RS485 cable Replace/Repair cable
No or improper network biasing and
termination.
Check all network devices for termination or biasing
settings. Only the ends of the network should have
termination turned on and only one point on the
network should be providing biasing.
Slave Address incorrect or duplicate
address of another bus device.
Verify all addresses are unique and between 1 and
247.
Modbus Exception
Response
Register not supported Verify register is supported
Data Type incorrect
Verify the requested register(s) Data Type matches the
Modbus Master Request e.g. do not access a Slave
Float value with a 2 byte Integer request. When
requesting a Float (2 registers/4 bytes), both registers
must be requested at the same time.
