7. Modbus process image in the memory of the<br />
<strong>COM462RTU</strong><br />
The device holds a process image in the memory. It represents the current statuses<br />
and values of up to 150 BMS devices for each monitored internal BMS bus.<br />
7.1 Requesting data<br />
7.1.1 Modbus function code<br />
The memory in the <strong>COM462RTU</strong> can be read using the Modbus function 0x03<br />
(read several registers). The size of the data volume to be queried depends on<br />
the number of bytes selected in the Modbus client being used. Up to 125<br />
Words (0x7D) can be read by one single request.<br />
An individual addressable byte, such as the set bit of a stored common alarm,<br />
can also be read out.<br />
7.1.2 How are memory areas organised<br />
Memory utilisation<br />
Start address<br />

0x0000 0x00FF 0x0100<br />
Process image 0x0100 0x95FF 0x9500<br />
Unused 0x96FF 0xFFFF 0x6900<br />
In some Modbus clients, an offset of 1 must be added to<br />
the register addresses. Example: Process image start address<br />
= 0x0101.<br />
