šŸ“š Modbus RTU Protocol Knowledge

What is Modbus RTU?

Modbus RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) is a serial transmission mode of the Modbus protocol, using binary encoding and CRC verification, characterized by high transmission efficiency and strong error detection capability. It is widely used for communication between devices in industrial automation systems.

Key Features:

  • Binary data format, high transmission efficiency
  • CRC16 verification, strong data reliability
  • Supports RS485 multi-point communication
  • High standardization, good compatibility
Modbus RTU Frame Structure

A standard Modbus RTU frame consists of the following parts:

[Slave Address][Function Code][Data Area][CRC Checksum]
  • Slave Address: 1 byte, identifies the target device:
  • Function Code: 1 byte, specifies the operation type:
  • Data Area: N bytes, contains address and data:
  • CRC Checksum: 2 bytes, ensures data integrity:
Common Function Codes
Read Function Codes:
  • 01: Read Coil Status
  • 02: Read Discrete Inputs
  • 03: Read Holding Registers
  • 04: Read Input Registers
Write Function Codes:
  • 05: Write Single Coil
  • 06: Write Single Register
  • 15: Write Multiple Coils
  • 16: Write Multiple Registers
CRC Verification Algorithm

Modbus RTU uses the CRC-16 verification algorithm with polynomial 0xA001. The verification process ensures data transmission reliability and is an important component of the Modbus RTU protocol.

Verification Features:

  • 16-bit cyclic redundancy check
  • Polynomial: 0xA001
  • Initial value: 0xFFFF
  • Low byte first transmission
Data Conversion & Byte Order (for Modbus Registers)

In Modbus projects, data types (integers/floats) and byte orders (ABCD/DCBA/BADC/CDAB) directly affect how register values are parsed and displayed. The points below help you read/write correctly:

  • Signed integers use two's complement: MSB is the sign bit; negatives = bitwise NOT + 1. When parsing HEX→INT, sign-extend to the target bit width
  • Floats follow IEEE‑754: FLOAT32 = 1 sign + 8 exponent + 23 fraction (bias 127); FLOAT64 = 1 sign + 11 exponent + 52 fraction (bias 1023). Supports ±0, Ā±āˆž, NaN and subnormals
  • Four common byte orders: ABCD (big‑endian) / DCBA (little‑endian) / BADC (16‑bit word swap) / CDAB (32‑bit group swap). For 16‑bit data, usually only ABCD/DCBA matter
  • Byte endianness vs word order: endianness describes byte order; word order describes the order of 16‑bit registers. For 32/64‑bit data both often apply
  • 64‑bit integers and JS safe integers: browser Number is IEEE‑754 double; safe integers are ±(2^53‑1). Tool uses BigInt for 64‑bit; out‑of‑range or precision risk shows '-'
  • Normalize HEX input: strip non‑HEX, uppercase, pad leading 0 to even length, and display grouped every 2 chars for readability
  • Decimal with fraction: if input has a decimal point and target is an integer type, show '-'. Only FLOAT32/FLOAT64 accept fractions
  • Debug tip: if unsure about byte order, try all four patterns with a known value and compare; always follow device documentation
šŸ’” Using our online tools, you can easily generate and parse Modbus RTU messages without needing to understand these technical details in depth.
