hi all:
as a newbie in Modbus I am trying to understand the importance of 'Report slave-id' command. My firmware currently only supports Function-codes 3,6 and 16.
How important is it to support the 'report slave-id' command and respond with a particular device specific information?
Can we not instead ask them to query a location in memory and report let us say a hardware-version which is unique?
What is the general practice in the industry? I am trying to do what is acceptable to most systems/EMS.
Thanks!
