What does I xx .Command yy .SlaveErrorCode mean?

This boolean tag indicates that the Modbus slave device returned an error code (distinct from an exception code) in response to a specific Modbus master command (Command yy). A value of 1 (Occurrence) means the slave device reported an internal issue or invalid request. This requires investigating the slave device's status or the command itself.

Common Causes

  • Invalid data or parameter in the Modbus command (e.g., out-of-range register address, unsupported function code)
  • Modbus slave device internal processing error or transient fault
  • Modbus slave device configuration mismatch preventing proper command execution
