Modbus Message Buffering
The MESR9xx has two Modbus serial buffers, one for each serial port. Each will buffer
up to 32 Modbus messages. These buffers help ensure messages don’t get lost in a data
traffic jam, and are part of what makes Modbus such an outstandingly reliable serial
protocol.
Modbus Message Timeout
Message timeout is supported by the MESR9xx. This is the maximum amount of time
before a response to a message is expected.
Modbus RTU Message
The Modbus RTU message is broken into 4 different parts. The address field, the
function code, this is copied directly over from the Modbus TCP message, the data and
the error check, a 16 bit cyclic redundancy check or CRC.
Modbus Serial Control
Message Timeout
The message timeout is the maximum time the gateway allows for a response from the
slave device. The default is 1000ms.
Character Timeout
The character timeout is the maximum time the gateway allows between characters from
the slave device, used only in RTU mode. The default is 10ms.
CRC/LRC Error Check
The CRC/LRC check calculates the CRC/LRC for the message received, and compares
this to the CRC/LRC with the message. If not the same the message is rejected.
