• The function
code in the request is not a
permissible action for the device.
• The device is in a state in which it cannot
process a request of this type. This is the

congured and is requested to return
register values.
Check which function codes are
supported.
02 Illegal Data

This address is not permissible for the device.
This is the case, for example, if the combina‐

valid.
Check the oset and the number
of registers.

The r
equest contains a data value that is not
permissible for the device. This indicates an

Check that the specied oset and
the specied data length in the
command are correct.
04 Subordinate De‐
