Having problems with MODBUS RTU communications between my DL06 PLC and SOLO Temp Controller 4896LRE via RS-485 serial link. Have configured both units to same communication parameters and am using MRX ladder logic instruction to read register address 44097 using function code 3. I am able to write values to register address 44098 using MWX function code 16. Anyone out there have a clue what I'm missing?

    several things could be wrong, without seeing your code, there is really no way to tell...

    usually, it's addressing that throws a kink into MRX/MWX communications.

    take a look at the two screenshots linked here, it shows a DL260 communicating with three SOLO controllers to read/write temperature data
