Modbus Serial CRC Checksum C#

Modbus CRC stands for Cyclic Redundancy check. It is two bytes added to the end of every modbus message for error detection. Every byte in the message is used to calculate the CRC. The receiving device also calculates the CRC and compares it to the CRC from the sending device. If even one bit in the message is received incorrectly, the CRCs will be different and an error will result.
Below is an Example of CRC RTU using c# to calculate. The return is unsigned integer and needed to be converted by retrieving its byte.
uint calc_crc (byte[] ptbuf, int num) { uint crc16 = 0xffff; uint temp; uint flag; for (int i = 0; i < num; i++) { temp = (uint)ptbuf[i]; // temp has the first byte temp &= 0x00ff; // mask the MSB crc16 = crc16 ^ temp; //crc16 XOR with temp for (uint c=0; c<8; c++) { flag = crc16 & 0x01; // LSBit di crc16 is mantained crc16 = crc16 >> 1; // Lsbit di crc16 is lost if (flag != 0) crc16 = crc16 ^ 0x0a001; // crc16 XOR with 0x0a001 } } //crc16 = (crc16 >> 8) | (crc16 << 8); // LSB is exchanged with MSB return (crc16); }
