3.9.2 Modbus/RTU Protocol Specification
The RS485 SIO GateWayR unit has an asynchronous serial bus interface conforming to EIA RS485 for interfacing with the
host.
The Modbus protocol is used for communication to receive commands from the host or reference internal information in the
host.
The Modbus protocol is a communication protocol developed by Modicon Inc. (AEG Schneider Automation International
S.A.S.) for PLCs, and its specification is open to the world. For the detailed specifications of this protocol, refer to the
specification document (Modbus Application Protocol Specification V1.1a) published by Modbus-IDA
(http://www.modbus-ida.org/
), along with this specification.
