5. MODBUS Communication
5.1 Overview
The use of MODBUS communication allows the VJ Series signal conditioners to
communicate with a PC. In this communication, a PC reads data from D registers,
internal registers of the VJ Series.
Hereafter, PCs are generally called "higher-level devices."

Chapter 6 for information on the D registers.
For MODBUS communication with the VJ Series, we provide the ASCII mode and RTU
mode (binary system) for the transmission mode.
Table 5-1 ASCII and RTU Modes
Item ASCII Mode RTU Mode
Number of data bits 7 bits (ASCII) 8 bits (binary)
: (colon) Not necessary
Message end mark
Message start mark
CR+LF Not necessary
Message length (*1)
Error detection
2N+1 N
Data time intervals 1 second or less 24 bit time or less (*2)
Longitudinal redundancy check: LRC Cyclic redundancy check: CRC-16

*1: When message length in the RTU mode is assumed to be "N"
*2: For a communication rate of 9600 bps, 1⫼9600⫻24 seconds or less applies.
In MODBUS communication, a higher-level device identifies each VJ Series signal condi-
tioner with a communication address of 1 to 99.
