Devices which use the Modbus protocol accept incoming requests for data or
statistics. They reply by returning either a normal or an exception response.
The Modbus function code in the request from an originating node always contains
a most significant bit value of 0 (zero). In a normal Modbus response, the function
code of the originating request is echoed, followed by any requested data or
statistics. In an exception response, the most significant bit is set to 1 (one) to
indicate an error, and the next byte contains an exception code showing the
reason for the error.
Table 3 summarizes the Modbus exception codes which may be returned by the
bridge to the originating node. For further information see the Modbus Protocol
Reference Guide, publication PI--MBUS--300.
