The exception response consists of the slave address field, function code field, and data field. In the slave
address field, the applicable slave address is set as in the slave address field of a “successful” response.
In the function code field, the function code in the query is set, and then the MSB (most significant bit of
the function code) of this field is set to 1. This allows the master to recognize that the message is not a
“successful” response, but an exception response. An exception code indicating the content of exception
is set in the data field.
