Data Addresses in Modbus Messages

Modbus defines 4 address spaces: 2 address spaces for bit addressable data and 2 address spaces for 16 bits ad-
dressable data.
Address space Data
OXXXX Output bit
1XXXX Input bit
3XXXX Input word
4XXXX Output word
Input register address space will be mainly used for measurements.
Holding register address space will contain settings.
All data addresses in Modbus messages are referenced to zero.
For example:
The coil known as 'coil 1' in a programmable controller is addressed as coil 0000 in the data address field of a Mod-
bus message.
Coil 127 decimal is addressed as coil 007E hex (126 decimal).
Holding register 40001 is addressed as register 0000 in the data address field of the message.
The function code field already specifies a 'holding register' operation. Therefore the '4XXXX' reference is implicit.
Holding register 40108 is addressed as register 006B hex (107 decimal).

Supported function codes

The following table gives the Modbus functions which are implemented and supported.
The code is the one used in function field of the Modbus message.
The address space concerned and the purpose of the function are given below.
Code Function

2 Read input status
3 Read holding registers
4 Read input registers
5 Force single coil
6 Preset single register
7 Read exception status
8 Diagnostics
11 Fetch comm. event ctr.
