RTU Framing
The example below shows a typical Q/R from a SiteLink module. In common terms, the master device initiates a
query asking slave device 2 for holding registers starting at holding register 40051 (decimal 50) and including
next 2 Registers (3 total).
Query Sample
Starting
Register
―Hi Byte‖
Starting
Register
―Lo Byte‖
Number of
Registers
―Hi Byte‖
Number of
Registers
―Lo Byte‖
Response Sample
Register
40051 Data
Hi Lo
Register
40052 Data
Hi Lo
Register
40053 Data
Hi Lo
Slave address 2 responds to Function Code 3 with 6 bytes of hexadecimal data and ends with CRC16 checksum.
Register values: 40051 = 158(hex) = 344(decimal)
40052 = FA (hex) = 250 (decimal)
40053 = 54 (hex) = 84 (decimal)
ASCII Framing:
Framing in ASCII transmission mode is accomplished by the use of the unique colon (:) to indicate the beginning of the
frame and a carriage return (CR) line feed (LF) to delineate the end of the frame. The line feed also serves as a
synchronizing character which indicates that the transmitting station is ready to receive an immediate reply.
ASCII Example
Char = Character: 1 Character = 7 data bits, 1 start bit, 1 or 2 stop bits and 1 parity bit (optional)
