• The micro controller is equipped with communication functions from the RS-485 interface and PC loader interface, which
enables the transmission and reception of data between such devices as the personal computer, programmable controller,
and graphic panel.
• The communication system is composed of a master and slave relationship. Up to thirty-one slaves (micro controllers) may
be connected to one master (such as a personal computer) based on a “single master/multiple slave” method.
• However, the master can only communicate with one slave at a time. Therefore, each slave is specified by the "Station No."
setting.With PC loader communication, only one slave can be connected to one master.

The following settings are required for proper communication between the master and micro controller units.
•
The communication parameters for the master and all of the units must be set the same.
•
During RS-485 communication, all of the micro controllers on a circuit must be set with different "Station No. (STno)" other
than "0 (zero)". (Multiple micro controllers must not have the same "Station No.".)
When using the PC loader interface, settings are not necessary on the main unit (the micro controller).

Overview
The communication system with the MODBUS protocol always operates using a method where the master first sends a command
message and the applicable slave replys with a response message .
The following describes the communication steps.
Master sends the command
message for the slave.
The slave checks whether the station
number in the received message is
the same as its own station number.
When it’s the same When it’s not the same
Chapter
5
The slave runs the command and
sends a response message.
The slave throws out the received
message and waits for the next
command message. (No reply.)
● When the station number in the command message is the same as the unit’s station number
Master Slave
Command Message
Station number is the same
Response Message
● When the station number in the command message is not the same as the unit’s station number
Master Slave
Command Message
Station number is not the same
The master can communicate with an individual slave when multiple slaves are connected on the same circuit by the station
number specified in the master’s command message.
– 20 –
Message Composition
The command message and response message are composed of four parts: the station number, function code, data part, and
error check code. These four parts are sent in that order.
Field name No. of bytes
Station No. 1 byte
Function Code 1 byte
Data Part 2 to 125 bytes
Error Check Code (CRC-16) 2 bytes
The following describes each part of the message.
Station No.
This is the number specifying the slave. Commands can only be processed by slaves that have the same value set in the "STno"
parameter.
Refer to
For more about setting the "STno" parameter, see "Chapter 4,
Setting Communication Parameters" (p. 15).
Function Code
Chapter
5
This code specifies the function for the slave to perform.
Refer to
For more about function codes, see "Function Code" (p. 23).
Data Part
This data is required to run the function code. The composition of the data part is different depending on the function code.
Refer to
See "Chapter 6, Command and Transmission Frame Details"
(p. 27).
The data in the micro controller is assigned a coil number or resistor number. This coil number or resistor number is specified
when the data is read or written through communication.
The coil number or resistor number used by the message employs a relative address.
The relative address is calculated using the following formula.
Relative address = (last four digits of the coil number or resistor number) – 1
(Ex.) When a function code specifies resistor number "40003"
Relative address= (the last four digits of 40003) – 1
= 0002
is used in the message.
Error Check Code
This code detects whether there are errors (changes in the bits) during the signal transmission processes. MODBUS protocol
(RTU mode) uses CRC-16 (Cyclic Redundancy Check).
Refer to
For more about calculating CRC, see Section 5,
"Calculating Error Check Code (CRC-16)" (p. 24).

Chapter
5
Slave Response
■ Normal Slave Response
The slave creates and replies with a response message for each command message. The response message has the same
format as the command message.
The contents of the data part are different depending on the function code.
Refer to
See "Chapter 6, Command and Transmission Frame Details".
■ Irregular Slave Response
If there are problems (such as specification of a nonexistent function code) with the contents of the command message other than
transmission error, the slave creates and replies with an error response message without following the command.
The composition of the error response message uses the value of the function code in the command message plus 80
below.

Faulty coil or resistor number The specified number is too large and specifies a range that does not contain
coil numbers or resistor numbers.

■ No Response
In the following situations, the slave will ignore the command message and not send a response message.
• The station number specified by the command message is not the same as the slave’s specified station number.
• The error check code does not correspond, or a transmission error (such as parity error) is detected.
• The interval between the data comprising the message is empty for more than 24 bit time.
Refer to
See Section 5 "Transmission Control Steps" (p. 25).
• The slave station number is set to "0".
– 22 –
Function Code
For MODBUS protocol, coil numbers or resistor numbers are assigned by the function code, and each function code
only works for the assigned coil number or resistor number.
The correspondence between the function code and the coil number or resistor number is as follows.
