The response data eld returns the quantity of messages addressed to the F-4600 that it could not
handle due to a character overrun condition, since its last restart, restart communications option, or
power-up. A character overrun is caused by data characters arriving at the port faster than they can be
stored, or by the loss of a character due to a hardware malfunction.
This count is also available in the F-4600’s diagnostic menu page.
7.3 REPORT SLAVE ID FUNCTION CODE
The MODBUS implementation of the F-4600 supports the use of function code 17, Report Slave ID.
When a message is sent to the F-4600 requesting to report the slave ID, the following information is
returned:
F-4600-XXXXXX; where XXXXXX - serial number of the F-4600
The F-4600 will report data in decimal or HEX, depending on the control system settings. The data must be
converted from decimal/HEX to ASCII in order to form the string.
