Data restrictions for Device name re as follows:

A device name consists of a maximum of 20 bytes (excluding the terminator), and can
contain only visible characters whose ASCII codes are in the range from 0x20 to 0x7e,

NOTE

The mapped registers are accessed by the SmartLogger address. By default, each device
takes up 25 registers, the register address is derived from the initial register address, offset

Supported devices: inverter, environmental monitor instrument.

The formula is as follows:

● Register address = Initial register address + (25 * (Device address – 1)) +
Offset address
● Initial register address = 51000
● For the registers must be set in sequence, the device address must be in strict

ModBus Interface Definitions 4 Communication Protocol Overview

4.2.3 Data Encoding

Modbus uses a big-Endian to represent addresses and data. When multiple bytes
are sent, the payload digit leftmost is sent first.

Example:

Register Size Value

16 bits 0x1234

The system sends 0x12, and then sends 0x34.

4.2.4 Interaction Process

A communication process is always initiated by a master node. Slave nodes do not
initiate communication processes.

In unicast mode, a slave node returns one response for each request from the
master node. If the master node does not receive any response from the slave
node in 5s, the communication process is regarded as timed out.

In broadcast mode, slave nodes receive instructions from the master node, but do
not respond to the instructions.

4.3.2 Exception Code List

The exception codes must be unique for each NE type. The names and
descriptions are provided in the NE interface document. Different versions of the
same NE type must be backward compatible. Exception codes in use cannot be
assigned to other exceptions.

exception codes)
Code Name Meaning

0x01 ILLEGAL FUNCTION The function code

received in the query is
not an allowable action
for the server. This may
be because the function
code is only applicable to
newer devices, and was
not implemented in the
unit selected. It could
also indicate that the
server is in the wrong
state to process a
request of this type, for
example because it is
unconfigured and is
being asked to return
register values.

ModBus Interface Definitions 4 Communication Protocol Overview

Code Name Meaning

0x02 ILLEGAL DATA ADDRESS The data address

received in the query is
not an allowable address
for the server. More
specifically, the
combination of reference
number and transfer
length is invalid. For a
controller with 100
registers, the PDU
addresses the first
register as 0, and the last
one as 99. If a request is
submitted with a starting
register address of 96
and a quantity of
registers of 4, then this
request will successfully
operate (address-wise at
least) on registers 96, 97,
98, 99. If a request is
submitted with a starting
register address of 96
and a quantity of
registers of 5, then this
request will fail with
Exception Code 0x02
"Illegal Data Address"
since it attempts to
perform operations on
registers 96, 97, 98, 99
and 100, and there is no
register with address
100.

ModBus Interface Definitions 4 Communication Protocol Overview

Code Name Meaning

0x03 ILLEGAL DATA VALUE A value contained in the

query data field is not an
allowable value for
server. This indicates a
fault in the structure of
the remainder of a
complex request, such as
that the implied length is
incorrect. It specifically
does not mean that a
data item submitted for
storage in a register has
a value outside the
expectation of the
application program,
since the Modbus
protocol is unaware of
the significance of any
particular value of any
particular register.

0x04 SERVER DEVICE FAILURE An unrecoverable error

occurred while the server
was attempting to
perform the requested
action.

0x05 ACKNOWLEDGE Specialized use in

conjunction with
programming
commands. The server
has accepted the request
and is processing it, but
a long duration of time
will be required to do so.
This response is returned
to prevent a timeout
error from occurring in
the client. The client can
next issue a Poll Program
Complete message to
determine if processing
is completed.

Code Name Meaning

0x06 SERVER DEVICE BUSY Specialized use in

conjunction with
programming
commands.
The server is engaged in
processing a long–
duration program
command. The client
should retransmit the
message later when the
server is free.

0x08 MEMORY PARITY ERROR Specialized use in

conjunction with
function codes 20 and 21
and reference type 6, to
indicate that the
extended file area failed
to pass a consistency
check. The server
attempted to read record
file, but detected a parity
error in the memory. The
client can retry the
request, but service may
be required on the server
device.

0x0A GATEWAY PATH Specialized use in

UNAVAILABLE conjunction with
gateways, indicates that
the gateway was unable
to allocate an internal
communication path
from the input port to
the output port for
processing the request.
Usually means that the
gateway is
misconfigured or
overloaded.

0x0B GATEWAY TARGET Specialized use in

DEVICE FAILED TO conjunction with
RESPOND gateways, indicates that
no response was
obtained from the target
device. Usually means
that the device is not
present on the network.

4.3.6 Reading Device Identifiers (0X2B)

This command code allows reading identifiers and added packets that are relevant
to the physical and function description of the remote devices.

Simulate the port of the read device identifier as an address space. This address
space consists of a set of addressable data elements. The data elements are
objects to be read, and the object IDs determine these data elements.

A data element consists of three objects:

● Basic device identifier: All objects of this type are mandatory, such as the
manufacturer name, product code, and revision version.
● Normal device identifier:Except the basic data objects, the device provides
additional and optional identifiers and data object description. Normal device
identifiers define all types of objects according to standard definitions, but the
execution of this type of objects is optional.
● Extensive device identifier:Except the basic data objects, the device provides
additional and optional identifiers and special data object description. All
these data objects are related to the device.
