Illegal data value

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. I upload the Simple Modbus slave example to arduino.
2. Connect arduino uno to computer via max485 and USB to rs485 converter
3. Try to read registers with Modbus poll and Mtester

I receive message "Illegal data value".I am using arduino 1.0.2 on Windows 7 
64bit
?

What does it mean?Where is the problem?
Thanks

Hi, I use Mtester & QModbus for all my testing, "Illegal data value" means 
either your starting address is incorrect or you are trying to read too many 
registers at once. Using Mtester the starting address is 1 and the amount of 
registers to read is 9 when referring to the slave example. It includes the 
offset starting address.
When using QModbus the starting address is 0.

Thanks for replay,
I found my mistake and now I can control arduino via modbus.Now i want to
configurate arduino ethernet as tcp/modbus master and read data from other
arduinos and send data to server whith tcp protocol.Is this possible and
how can I do this.

In addition to Modbus ASCII and RTU there also exist a Modbus/TCP protocol but 
this must be targeted on the TCP layer and adhere to the Modbus/TCP standard 
and is going to be hard work to port.

I would suggest (and maybe this is what you meant :-) that you just set up as 
much packets with different array registers as you need with SimpleModbusMaster 
and then use the array of data as any other data when using the TCP library.
