1. MODBUS PROTOCOL

Communication parameters are:

Modbus RTU:

• Address and Baudrate

• 8 data bits
• No parity
• 1 stop bit

Modbus TCP/IP:

• IP: [Link] (by default)

• Subnet: [Link] (by default)
• Gateway: [Link] (by default)
• Port number: 502
• Master Address: 1 (by default)
• Retries Number: 10 (by default)
• Confirmation time: 2000 ms (by default)

This document describes the steps to follow to read and write data on the SIL-A relay, as per the
Modbus protocol. This memory map is only valid for one piece of equipment and one version of the
memory. The positions of existing objects in the memory remain fixed from one version to the next, but
new objects will naturally have new addresses which will, in turn, remain fixed in future versions. The
memory map is described further on.
The standard Modbus protocol is used, so any program or PC can communicate easily with the
equipment.
The SIL-A always acts as a slave, which means that it never initiates communications. The master is
always responsible for initiating communications.
Only a subset of the Modbus functions is implemented:
• Reading function 3.
• Writing function 16.
The MODBUS/RTU protocol is independent from the hardware. Therefore, the physical layer can exist in
different hardware configurations: RS232, RS485, fibre optic or Ethernet.
Specifically, the relay has a front RS232 port and, as an option, a rear RS485 port. The data stream in
any of the configurations is “half-duplex”.er
Each byte of data is transmitted asynchronously and is made up of: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and
1 parity bit, if this is how it is programmed. Therefore, the data has 10 or 11 bits, depending on whether it
includes parity.
If the relay only offers with Modbus on the front port, the address (1 to 247) is configurable but the rest of
the paarmeters are fixed and equal to: baudrate 19200, No parity and stop bit 1.
If the relay offers RS485 Modbus protocol the the address (1 to 247) and the baudrate (4800, 9600,
19200 or 38400) con be but the rest of the parameters are fixed: without parity and with 1 stop bit.
The master must know the address of the slave that it is going to communicate with. No unit will act on
requests from the master if the message is not addressed to them. The exception is when the 0 address,
or “broadcast” address, is used, in which case the relay will act but will not send an answer of any type.

[Link] Rev. 05 3/28

 Communications are made in packages or frames, which are groups of data that are sent
asynchronously. The master transmits a frame to the slave, and the slave then replies with another
frame (except in the case of “broadcast” messages).
The end of the frame is marked by a dead time or silence time in the communication medium. The length
of this time of silence varies depending on the transmission speed, as it is equivalent to 3 characters.
The following table shows the generic package format that is valid for transmission and reception.
However, each function has its own peculiarities, as will be described further on.

1.1. Modbus RTU pachage format

CUSTOMER 1 byte Each device on a communication bus must have a unique address, otherwise two
ADDRESS different units could reply simultaneously to the same request. All ports of the
relay will use this address which can be set a value between 1 and 247. When the
master transmits a frame with the slave address to 0 indicates a Broadcast. All
the slaves in the communications bus will carry out the requested action, but no
one will reply to the master. The Broadcast will only be accepted to write, as it
makes no sense to make a read request in the Broadcast, as no one will reply this
request.

FUNCTION 1 byte This is one of the function codes supported by the equipment. In this case, the
CODE only function codes supported are 3 to read and 16 to write. When the slave has
to reply with an exception one of these frames, it is indicated by putting 1 in the
most important bit of the correspondent function. Thus, an exception for the
function 3, will be indicated with a 83 as a function code; and an exception for the
function code 16 or 0x10 in hexadecimal, will be indicated with an 0x90.

DATA N bytes This part consists of a variable number of bytes, depending on the function code.
It may include: addresses, data lengths, settings, commands or exception codes
sent by the user.

CRC 2 bytes Control code of two bytes. The ModBus/RTU includes a 16-bit CRC in each
frame, to detect errors. If the slave detects an erroneous frame, based on a CRC
that is not correct, it won’t take any action, nor will reply anything to the master.
The management of the CRC is LSB-MSB.

DEAD TIME Necessary time A frame is terminated when nothing is received for a period of 3,5 bytes. It means:
to transmit 3,5 15 ms at 2400 bps
Bytes 2 ms at 19200 bps
...etc.

1.2. Function Codes
HEX
DEC MODBUS NAME DEFINITION COMMENT
CODE

0x03 Read Holding Reading of Any Value This function allows the master to read 1 or
more consecutive addresses of a relay. The
3 Registers registers always are of 16 bits, with the most
important byte at first. The maximum number
of registers to be read in a package are 60.

HEX
DEC MODBUS NAME DEFINITION COMMENT
CODE

0x10 Preset Multiple Script This function allows to write one or more
registers that represent one or more settings.
16 Registers The registers are values of 2 bytes of length,
transmitted with the most important byte at
first. The maximum number of registers to be
written in a package is 60.

1.3. Exceptions Responses

The error codes defined by the ModBus protocol are as follows:

The slave does not support any function with the function code received in
01 ILLEGAL FUNCTION
this message.

02 ILLEGAL DATA ADDRESS The master is trying to do an operation in a wrong address.

03 ILLEGAL DATA VALUE The slave has detected that the value sent by the master is not valid.

Indicates an error occurred in the slave while trying to execute the request
04 SLAVE DEVICE FAILURE
of the master.

05 ACKNOWLEDGE Generic recognition.

06 SLAVE DEVICE BUSY The slave is busy and unable to perform the required operation.

07 NEGATIVE ACKNOWLEDGE Generic non-recognition.

When the data format takes up more than one BYTE, the most important BYTE is sent through the
communications first, and the least important BYTE is sent last.

1.7. Setting-up the session: Password and access levels

The relay is provided with different passwords associated to access levels allowing the user to carry out
different actions depending on the selected password:

ACCESS Read-only Function Function Function Function Function Enable Function Enable
LEVEL Enable: Enable to: Enable to: Enable to: to: to:
Status and Change Delete Execute Change Change
measurements settings Events Commands Configuration Protected
Settings
Settings Delete DFR
Configuration
Events/DFR

2 YES YES YES NO NO NO

3 YES NO NO YES NO NO

4 YES YES YES YES NO NO

5 YES YES YES YES YES NO

[Link] Rev. 05 26/28

Four passwords and their associated levels of access are set up when the relay is configured using the SIcom
program. The password must be made up of 4 characters (passwords with more or less characters will not be
accepted). By default, the relay is programmed with the following passwords and their associated levels:

PASSWORD ACCESS LEVEL

2222 2

3333 3

4444 4

5555 5

1.8. Example of Modbus Frames

Writing the access password “5555” to equipment no. 1

And the SIL-A will reply OK:
