3.5 Exception responses
If the slave receives the query without a communication error, but cannot handle it, the slave will return an
exception response informing the master of the nature of the error. The exception response codes are
listed below.
Code Name Description
01 ILLEGAL FUNCTION The message function requested is not recognized by the
slave.
02 ILLEGAL DATA ADDRESS The received data address is not an allowable address for
the slave.
03 ILLEGAL DATA VALUE The received data value is not an allowable value for the
slave.
04 SLAVE DEVICE ERROR An unrecoverable error occurred while the slave was
attempting to perform the requested action,
06 SLAVE DEVICE BUSY The message was received without error, but the slave was
engaged in processing a long duration program command
In an exception response, the slave sets a most-significant bit (MSB) of the function code to 1. The slave
returns an exception code in the data field.
