If you are talking MoBus RTU there is no CR/Lf. It is pure hex.
( With some high level languages you have to watch carefully that they really send out the hex. In windows I had once the problem that the lower hex ones had been automatically transformed to control sequences. Grrrrr)

Only in the very old ModBus-ASCI have been with CR/LF. But that is not used often anymore...

But in this case its Modbuus ASCII

In the Hypertherm docs they mention a CR/LF at the end of transmission from master to slave but when they mention the reply there is no CR/LF. Is this correct?

Edit: Hey Rod I see one of Toms links is from your neck of the woods.


Phill, I think the answer is on page 4. They assume your software strips out the CRLF terminator

CR/LF Carriage return, line feed in hexadecimal: 0D0A. The end characters are typcially removed on incoming messages by the CNC.


And yes, I lived in Toowoomba where USQ is for a few years.

Well, I have read that doc a gazillion times (or I thought I had) and didn't see that bit. I think this is frustrating me, I'll take a short break...

That was my experience learning Modbus RTU/ASCII as well,

What makes things more fun is the way the register values start, It can either start with a 0 or 1 depending on vendor it could be one of either! I have a servo drive that I programed a PLC to control and setting up the Modbus code first time was a real head fuck.

It is even harder when you spend a day and a half trying to get your virtual machine talking to a USB-RS485 converter. In the end I gave up and downloaded VirtualBox, converted the VMware appliance and imported it as a VirtualBox appliance and it worked.
Now I need to make me an Arduino PM-XP emulator so I can talk to something...

The best is to get one of the free serial analyzers and sniff both sides of your communication with a second pc... One look on the screen and you win lot of time..

Yeah, I have an 8 channel logic analyser but the problem I was having with a VMware guest was that it wouldn't open the port consistently.

You trying to get the Hyperterm to talk rs-485 for THC?
