4.4 Implemented Functions
INMBSPAN001I100 implements the following standard Modbus functions:
▪ 3: Read Holding Registers
▪ 4: Read Input Registers
▪ 6: Write Single Register
▪ 16: Write Multiple Registers (Despite this function is allowed, the interface does not
allow to write operations on more than 1 register with the same request, this means that
length field should be always be 1 when this function is being used in case of writing)

4.6 EIA-485 bus. Termination resistors and Fail-Safe Biasing
mechanism
EIA-485 bus requires a 120Ω terminator resistor at each end of the bus to avoid signal
reflections.
In order to prevent fail status detected by the receivers, which are “listening” the bus, when all
the transmitters’ outputs are in three-state (high impedance), it is also required a fail-safe
biasing mechanism. This mechanism provides a safe status (a correct voltage level) in the bus
when all the transmitters’ outputs are in three-state. This mechanism must be supplied by the
Modbus Master.
The INMBSPAN001I100 device includes an on-board terminator resistor of 120Ω that can be
connected to the EIA-485 bus by using DIP-switch SW4 (see below).
Some Modbus RTU EIA-485 Master devices can provide also internal 120Ω terminator resistor
and/or fail-safe biasing (check the technical documentation of the Master device connected to
the EIA-485 network in each case).
