1 INTRODUCTION
The MODBUS Protocol is a messaging structure developed by Modicon in 1979, used to establish master-
slave/client-server communication between intelligent devices. It is a de facto standard, truly open and the most
widely used network protocol in the industrial manufacturing environment.
The purpose of this document is to describe the specific implementation of the Modicon Modbus protocol on the
Recloser Control Cubicle RC-01E(S).
This document, in conjunction with the Modicon Modbus Protocol Reference Guide (PI-MBUS-300) and the
MODBUS Application Protocol Specification V1.1, published by Modicon, Inc., provides complete information on
how to communicate with the RC-01ES via Modbus

2 MPM FIRMWARE
This document describes the Modbus points list available in firmware versions S02.03.04-6802 and above.

3 IMPLEMENTATION
The RC-01ES supports the Modbus protocol. Modbus can be assigned to either the RS485 or RS232 port and
supports transmit/receive data rates of 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400 and 19200 baud. Half-duplex
or full-duplex connections can be used on the RS-485 port. RC-01ES is always slave and supports only RTU
(binary) mode.
Valid slave device addresses are in the range of 0 – 247 decimal. The individual slave devices are assigned
addresses in the range of 1 – 247. A master addresses a slave by placing the slave address in the address field
of the message. When the slave sends its response, it places its own address in this address field of the
response to let the master know which slave is responding.
This Modbus implementation supports broadcast message receiving on address 0.

4 TRANSMISSION MODE
THE RC-01ES supports communication on a Modbus network using RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) mode, each
8–bit byte in a message contains two 4–bit hexadecimal characters. The main advantage of this mode is that its
greater character density allows better data throughput than ASCII for the same baud rate. Each message must
be transmitted in a continuous stream.
Supports format for each byte in RTU mode is:
Coding System:

8–bit binary, hexadecimal 0–9, A–F

Two hexadecimal characters contained in each 8–bit field of the message

Bits per Byte:

1 start bit

8 data bits, least significant bit sent first

1 stop bit

Error Check Field:

Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC)

Start 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Stop

NOTE 1: In order to obtain the value of frequency in Hz the value obtained from Modbus must be multiplied by
0.001.
NOTE 2: If a situation occurs where it is not possible to conduct the calculation of power factor or frequency then
Modbus returns value equal 0x7FFF.
NOTE 3: In order to obtain power factor the value obtained from Modbus must be multiplied by 0.001.

5.5 Function 05 Force Single Coil

5.5.1 Description
Forces a single coil (0X reference) to either ON or OFF. When broadcast, the function forces the same coil
reference in all attached slaves.
If an error occurs in the processing of a broadcast request, the exception response is not formed.
The setting of coils does not occur with the appearance of exception.
The list of coils is given in Table 5.2.
NOTE 1: The setting of coil in 0 will not result in any changes in the RC-01E(S).
NOTE 2: The setting of "Reserved" coil in 0 or 1 will not result in any changes in the RC-01E(S).

5.6 Function 06 Preset Single Register

5.6.1 Description
Presets a value into a single holding register (4X reference). When broadcast, the function presets the same
register reference in all attached slaves.
If there is an error in the processing of a broadcast request, the exception response is not formed.
The list of coils is given in Table 5.4.

5.7 Function 15 (0F Hex) Force Multiple Coils

5.7.1 Description
Forces each coil (0X reference) in a sequence of coils to either ON or OFF. When broadcast, the function forces
the same coil references in all attached slaves.
If there is an error in the processing of a broadcast request, the exception response is not formed.

The setting of coils does not occur with the appearance of exception.
The list of coils is given in Table 5.2.
NOTE 1: The setting of coil in 0 doesn’t affect the protection algorithms in the RC-01E(S).
NOTE 2: The setting of "Reserved" coil in 0 or 1 will not result in any changes in the RC-01E(S).

5.8 Function 16 (10 Hex) Preset Multiple Registers

5.8.1 Description
Presets values into a sequence of holding registers (4X references). When broadcast, the function presets the
same register references in all attached slaves.
If there is an error in the processing of a broadcast request, the exception response is not formed.
The list of coils is given in Table 5.4.

6 MODBUS EXCEPTION RESPONSES

The exception response message has two fields that differentiate it from a normal response:
Function Code Field: In a normal response, the server echoes the function code of the original request in the
function code field of the response. All function codes have a most–significant bit (MSB) of 0 (their values are all
below 80 hexadecimal). In an exception response, the server sets the MSB of the function code to 1. This makes
the function code value in an exception response exactly 80 hexadecimal higher than the value would be for a
normal response.
With the function code’s MSB set, the client's application program can recognize the exception response and
can examine the data field for the exception code.
Data Field: In a normal response, the server may return data or statistics in the data field (any information that
was requested in the request). In an exception response, the server returns an exception code in the data field,
defining the server condition that caused the exception.
This Modbus implementation returns three types of errors; they are given in table 5.1. The complete list of
possible errors are documented in the PI-MBUS-300 document.

Table 6.1 - MODBUS Exception Codes

MODBUS Exception Codes
Code Name Meaning
01 ILLEGAL FUNCTION The function code received in the query is not an allowable action
for the slave. If a Poll Program Complete command was issued, this
code indicates that no program function preceded it.
This error can arise with the demand of the non supported function
02 ILLEGAL DATA ADDRESS The data address received in the query is not an allowable address
for the slave.
This error can arise in such a case when a nonexistent data object
address is used in the request.
03 ILLEGAL DATA VALUE A value contained in the query data field is not an allowable value
for the slave.
This error can arise during an attempt to set values at the moment
when the RC-01E(S) is set in the Remote Off (Local) mode.
04 SLAVE DEVICE FAILURE An unrecoverable error occurred while the slave was attempting to
perform the requested action.
