Modbus Master Command Framing Error
Allen-Bradley · Compact 5000 I/O Serial Module
What does I xx .Command yy .FramingError mean?
This boolean tag indicates that a framing error occurred during the reception of a response for a specific Modbus master command (Command yy). A value of 1 (Occurrence) means the received data did not conform to the expected Modbus frame structure. This often points to baud rate or data format mismatches between the master and slave.
Common Causes
- Incorrect baud rate setting on the module or Modbus slave device
- Incorrect data bits or stop bits configuration between master and slave
- Severe noise on the serial communication line causing frame corruption
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Verify the baud rate, data bits, and stop bits in the module's configuration match the Modbus slave device's settings.
- 2
Inspect the serial communication cable for physical damage, proper shielding, and correct termination.
- 3
Check for sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) that could corrupt the data frame and implement mitigation measures.
