Short description for the EC-24 Modbus

Modbus parameterize
- The Modbus can be activated over the coordinate Z01.
- The Modbus - ID is adjusted over the coordinate Z07
- The Modbus - Register - Offset (MRO) is adjusted over the coordinate Z08 (default is 0)
The MRO applies with reading and write operations.

Default parameters for the serial interface

2400 baud
no Parity
8 Data bit
1 Stop bit
Modbus ASCII or RTU

The EC-24 has a passive RS485 interface, i.e. the interface must be supplied externally.
(see manual)

EC-24 Modbus - Commands

The EC-24 knows the following Modbus commands:
(03 Hex) Read Holding Registers
(06 Hex) Read Single Register
(10 Hex) Preset Multiple Register
(08 Hex) Diagnostic
(00 Hex) Return Query Data

EC-24 Exception Codes

01 Illegal Function
02 Illegal Data Address (Register not available)
03 Illegal Data Value (Register not recordable or Value wrong)

Specific of the EC24-Modbus:

Data type (float, text ...) can be read or rather written only completely
float : 2 Register
long integer : 2 Register
integer : 1 Register
Text : 5 Register
Monthly Storage : 15 Register

Maximally 100 registers (in an instruction) can be read and/or rather written.

Text fields must have at least a final zero (0x00).

Counts are supplied as long - value (without comma), the valency of the counter can be sampled
over the Terz mode (register 2310).
