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. 1

    Verify the baud rate, data bits, and stop bits in the module's configuration match the Modbus slave device's settings.

  2. 2

    Inspect the serial communication cable for physical damage, proper shielding, and correct termination.

  3. 3

    Check for sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) that could corrupt the data frame and implement mitigation measures.
