16 Write multiple
Registers
Write values into a block of contiguous registers (1 to
120)
Data Field(s):
The data field varies in length depending on whether the message is a request or
a response to a packet. This field typically contains information required by the
slave device to perform the command specified or to pass back data to the
master device.
Error Check Field:
The Error Check Field consists of a 16-bit (2 byte) Cyclical Redundancy Check
(CRC16). It allows the receiving device to detect a packet that has been
corrupted with transmission errors.
RTU Framing
The example below shows a typical Q/R from a OC-485 interface card. In common
terms, the master device initiates a query asking slave device 2 for holding registers
starting at holding register 40051 (decimal 50) and including next 2 Registers (3 total).

Slave address 2 responds to Function Code 3 with 6 bytes of hexadecimal data
and ends with CRC16 checksum.
Register values:40051 = 158(hex) = 344(decimal)
40052 = FA (hex) = 250 (decimal)
40053 = 54 (hex) = 84 (decimal)
