Modbus Master Command Parity Error

Allen-Bradley · Compact 5000 I/O Serial Module

What does I xx .Command yy .ParityError mean?

This boolean tag indicates that a parity error occurred during the communication of a specific Modbus master command (Command yy). A value of 1 (Occurrence) means a data transmission error was detected due to incorrect parity. This suggests corruption in the serial data stream, preventing reliable data exchange.

Common Causes

  • Incorrect parity setting on the module or Modbus slave device
  • Noise or electromagnetic interference (EMI) on the serial communication line
  • Damaged or improperly connected serial communication cable

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Verify the parity setting in the module's configuration matches the Modbus slave device's setting.

  2. 2

    Inspect the serial communication cable for physical damage or loose connections at both ends.

  3. 3

    Check for sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) near the communication line and implement shielding if necessary.
