3.5‑byte transmission time
CRC check:
Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC) uses the RTU frame format. A Modbus message
includes a CRC‑based error check field. The CRC field is used to check content of the
entire message. The CRC field contains two bytes, making up a 16‑bit binary value.
The CRC field is calculated by the transmitting device, and then added to the
message. The receiving device recalculates a CRC value after receiving the message,
and compares the calculated value with the CRC value in the received CRC field. If the
two CRC values are unequal, a transmission error occurs.
The CRC is first stored to 0xFFFF. Then a procedure is invoked to process the
successive 8‑bit bytes in the message and the value in the register. Only the eight bits
in each character are used for the CRC. The start bit, stop bit, and the parity bit do not
apply to the CRC.
During generation of the CRC, each eight‑bit character is in exclusive‑OR (XOR) with
the content in the register. Then, the result is shifted in the direction of the least
significant bit (LSB), with a zero filled into the most significant bit (MSB) position. The
LSB is extracted and examined. If the LSB is 1, the register then performs XOR with a
preset value. If the LSB is 0, no XOR is performed. This process is repeated until eight
shifts have been performed. After the last (eighth) shift, the next eight‑bit byte is in
XOR with the register's current value, and the process repeats for another eight shifts
as described above. The final value of the register, after all the bytes of the message
have been applied, is the CRC value.
When CRC is added in a message, high‑order bytes follow low‑order bytes. The CRC
simple function is as follows:
unsigned int crc_chk_value (unsigned char *data_value,unsigned char length)
{
unsigned int crc_value=0xFFFF;
int i;
while (length–)
{
crc_value^=*data_value++;
for (i=0;i<8;i++)
{
if (crc_value&0x0001)
{
crc_value= (crc_value>>1) ^0xa001;
}
