Modbus Error Codes

Introduction

During operations, you may encounter Modbus error codes that are returned by the
STB NIP 2212 NIM to the Advantys configuration software. These error codes are
displayed as byte codes in hexadecimal format.

General Error
Codes

Note: Because the STB NIP 2212 NIM supports Modbus over a serial interface,
the Ethernet-based Modbus server does not support Modbus requests with a unit
ID of 255 (0xFF). In the PL7 programming tool, the default value for the field unit
ID when adding an I/O scanner connection is 255 (0xFF). Be aware that the NIM
drops packets with this unit ID.
