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
Verify the parity setting in the module's configuration matches the Modbus slave device's setting.
- 2
Inspect the serial communication cable for physical damage or loose connections at both ends.
- 3
Check for sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) near the communication line and implement shielding if necessary.
