7.4 Modbus Functions
The following Modbus functions are supported by the XVG/eXVG:
- Read Registers (0x03)
- Write Single Register (0x06)
- Write Multiple Registers (0x10)
- Diagnostics (0x08) Query Data sub-function (0x00)
The master can address individual slaves, or can initiate a broadcast message (using
device address 0) to all slaves. Slaves perform the actions requested by the broadcast
messages but will not return a response. Per Modbus protocol, only Write Single
Register (0x06) and Write Multiple Registers (0x10) support broadcast message.
