Modbus RTU
• The entire I/O image (Logic Command / Reference and Logic Status /
Feedback) for a PowerFlex 4-Class drive is updated in ONE DSI message
request / response transaction
• Modbus requires THREE request / response RTU messages to update the
same I/O image for a PowerFlex 4-Class drive
• #1 - Function Code 06 Write message to write the Logic Command word
• #2 - Function Code 06 Write message to write the Reference word
• #3 - Function Code 03 Read message to read the Logic Status / Feedback
