Code

Name of the

Description of the exception

exception

 

 

16#01

ILLEGAL FUNCTION

The query’s “Function” command code is not implemented in the Modbus slave

 

 

software, or it is unable to process it for the moment.

16#02

ILLEGAL DATA

The combination of the query’s “Starting Address” and “No. of Registers” fields

 

ADDRESS

(or assimilated fields) gives access to one or more addresses which are not

 

 

accessible on the Modbus slave.

16#03

ILLEGAL DATA

The value of one of the Modbus query’s fields is outside the authorized limits.

 

VALUE

This error does not affect the content of the “Data” (or assimilated) fields, as this

 

 

error only takes account of the fields used for managing the Modbus protocol.

16#04

SLAVE DEVICE

An unrecoverable failure has occurred when processin the command.

 

FAILURE

 

 

16#05

ACKNOWLEDGE

The Modbus slave informs the gateway that it has accepted the command

(1)

 

(acknowledgement), but that it will take too long to process it and it cannot afford

 

 

to wait for the completion of this process before sending a response.

 

 

The gateway should transmit subsequent queries in order to determine whether

 

 

the command has finished or not.

16#06

SLAVE DEVICE

The Modbus slave informs the gateway that it is already in the process of

(1)

BUSY

running a command and therefore it cannot run the one transmitted to it.

 

 

So the gateway should re-transmit the query subsequently.

16#07

NEGATIVE

The Modbus slave informs the gateway that it cannot process the requested

(1)

ACKNOWLEDGE

command. This exception only affects commands 13 and 14 (16#0D and

 

 

16#0E). These functions are not part of the standard Modbus commands and are

 

 

not described in this document.

16#08

MEMORY PARITY

The Modbus slave informs the gateway that it has detected a parity error on the

(1)

ERROR

access to its own memory. This exception only affects standard commands 20

 

 

and 21 (16#14 and 16#15) which are not supported by the gateway.

(1) Please see the standard Modbus documentation for further information about these various scenarios.
