DGC-2020HD Modbus ™ Protocol General Information
• An incorrect Byte Count will result in an error response with Exception Code of “Illegal Data
Value”.
• There are several instances of registers that are grouped together to collectively represent a
single numerical DGC-2020HD data value (i.e. - floating point data, 32-bit integer data, and
strings). A query to write a subset of such a register group will result in an error response with
Exception Code “Illegal Data Address”.
• A query to write a not allowed value (out of range) to a register results in an error response with
Exception Code of “Illegal Data Value”.

Response
The response message echoes the starting address and the number of registers. There is no response
message when the query is a broadcast (device address = 0).

Preset Single Register
A Preset Single Register query message requests a single register to be written. If the query is a
broadcast (device address = 0), no response message is returned.
Note: Only data types INT16, INT8, UINT16, UINT8, and String (not longer than 2 bytes), can be preset
by this function.
Query
Data will cease to be written if any of the following exceptions occur.
• Queries to write to Read Only registers result in an error response with Exception Code of “Illegal
Data Address”.
• A query to write an unallowed value (out of range) to a register results in an error response with
Exception Code of “Illegal Data Value”.
