Modbus Protocol
This chapter defines the Modbus protocol as it applies to a Kinetix 3 drive.
Function Codes
The register number of Modbus devices may begin with 0 or 1, because this is
determined by the Modbus host you have selected. If your controller requires it, a
'1' must be added to the register number.
The maximum number of parameters that can be read or written at the same time
is the same as the number of Modbus addresses, which is the same as the number
of the parameters in each group. In other words, all the parameters in each group
can be read together or written together.
