Hi,
I have an ioc (base 3.14.11) using modbus 2.4 in which I'm controlling ProportionAir
Modbus Serial OPV1 proportional air valves over RS485 serial.  In my st.cmd file,
I have:
modbusInterposeConfig("RFTunerPort",2,1000,0)
drvModbusAsynConfigure("read1ADDR", "RFTunerPort",0x01,0x03,0x0000,1,0,86400000,"ProportionAir")
drvModbusAsynConfigure("read1VALU", "RFTunerPort",0x01,0x03,0x0031,1,0,86400000,"ProportionAir")
drvModbusAsynConfigure("read2ADDR", "RFTunerPort",0x02,0x03,0x0000,1,0,86400000,"ProportionAir")
drvModbusAsynConfigure("read2VALU", "RFTunerPort",0x02,0x03,0x0031,1,0,86400000,"ProportionAir")

drvModbusAsynConfigure("write1VAL","RFTunerPort",0x01,0x10,0x0031,1,0,0,"ProportionAir1")
drvModbusAsynConfigure("write1CLS","RFTunerPort",0x01,0x10,0x0031,1,0,0,"ProportionAir1")
drvModbusAsynConfigure("write2VAL","RFTunerPort",0x02,0x10,0x0031,1,0,0,"ProportionAir2")
drvModbusAsynConfigure("write2CLS","RFTunerPort",0x02,0x10,0x0031,1,0,0,"ProportionAir2")

And, in my database, I have:
record(ai,"MICE-RF-TUNE-01:READADDR") {
	field(DESC,"Read address")
	field(SCAN,"Passive")
	field(DTYP,"asynInt32")
	field(INP,"@asyn(read1ADDR,0, 60)MODBUS_DATA")
}
record(ai,"MICE-RF-TUNE-01:READVALU") {
	field(DESC,"Read value")
	field(SCAN,"Passive")
	field(DTYP,"asynInt32")
	field(INP,"@asyn(read1VALU,0,36000)MODBUS_DATA")
}

record(ai,"MICE-RF-TUNE-02:READADDR") {
	field(DESC,"Read address")
	field(SCAN,"Passive")
	field(DTYP,"asynInt32")
	field(INP,"@asyn(read1ADDR,0, 60)MODBUS_DATA")
}
record(ai,"MICE-RF-TUNE-02:READVALU") {
	field(DESC,"Read value")
	field(SCAN,"Passive")
	field(DTYP,"asynInt32")
	field(INP,"@asyn(read1VALU,0,36000)MODBUS_DATA")
}

### Write functions
###############################################################################
### Unit 1
record(ao,"MICE-RF-TUNE-01:WRITEVALU") {
	field(DESC,"Write open 0%")
	field(SCAN,"Passive")
	field(DTYP,"asynInt32")
	field(VAL, "0x0000")
	field(OUT,"@asynMask(write1VAL,0,16)MODBUS_DATA")
}
record(ao,"MICE-RF-TUNE-01:WRITE000") {
	field(DESC,"Write open 0%")
	field(SCAN,"Passive")
	field(DTYP,"asynInt32")
	field(VAL, "0x0000")
	field(OUT,"@asynMask(write1CLS,0,16)MODBUS_DATA")
}

### Unit 2
record(ao,"MICE-RF-TUNE-02:WRITEVALU") {
	field(DESC,"Write open 0%")
	field(SCAN,"Passive")
	field(DTYP,"asynInt32")
	field(VAL, "0x0000")
	field(OUT,"@asynMask(write2VAL,0,16)MODBUS_DATA")
}
record(ao,"MICE-RF-TUNE-02:WRITE000") {
	field(DESC,"Write open 0%")
	field(SCAN,"Passive")
	field(DTYP,"asynInt32")
	field(VAL, "0x0000")
	field(OUT,"@asynMask(write2CLS,0,16)MODBUS_DATA")
}

===================================================
My problem is that I can successfully write, but I cannot read from the devices.
Whether I read or write, I get messages:
After a successful write:
2012/09/28 10:49:49.964 modbusInterpose::readIt, LRC error
2012/09/28 10:49:49.964 drvModbusAsyn::doModbusIO port write1CLS error calling writeRead, error=, nwrite=9/9, nread=0
2012/09/28 10:49:49.964 MICE-RF-TUNE-01:WRITE000 devAsynInt32 process error 

An attempt to read results in:
2012/09/28 11:37:55.103 MICE-RF-TUNE-01:READVALU devAsynInt32 process read error 

I keep reading the modbus 2.4 Driver Support for Modbus Protocol under EPICS, but I'm clearly
missing something.  I don't understand why I get an error on a successful write, and I don't 
understand why I cannot read at all.  Please help.
Thanks,
Pierrick
