3) How to see the request/response message formats provided in Section 7.4 to 7.18:
a) Request/Response message format diagram
The following shows how to see the request/response message format diagrams
provided in Section 7.4 to 7.18.
b) Frame mode of the message format
The messages shown in Section 7.4 to 7.18 are displayed in RTU format.
For use in ASCII mode, convert the values into ASCII codes.
(Conversion example)
c) Response message format
The response message formats issued from the slave to the master differs depending on whether the
slave has normally completed or failed to handle the requested processing (read/write, diagnostics,
etc.)
The formats for normal and error completions are shown in Section 7.4 to 7.18.
