6-2-4 Modbus data format
Modbus transmission mode:
There are two transmission modes: RTU and ASCII; It defines serial transmission of bit
content in message domain; it decides how information to pack and decode; transmission
mode (and port parameters) of all devices in Modbus serial links should be the same.
Modbus-RTU data structure
RTU mode:
Under Modbus RTU (remote terminal unit) mode, message has two 4-bit hexadecimal
characters in every 8-bit byte. This mode has very high data density, higher throughput rate
than Modbus ASCII. Every message should be sent by continuous characters.
RTU mode frame check domain: cycle redundancy check(CRC).

2. Modbus address:
00H:All the Xinje XC series PLC broadcast—— slave stations don’t response.
01H:Communicate with address 01H PLC.
0FH:Communicate with address 15H PLC.
10H:Communicate with address 16H PLC and so on. Up to 254(FEH).
