Cannot write to address more than 100 for holder registers

[sresam89]

If i try to read/write on address greater than 100 I am getting Modbus error: Exception Code =2

Can you copy and paste the exact code you are using to get this error?

this is probably because the reg address is out of range ,maybe your hardware only has 0-100 registers

This is not a bug of modbus_tk as you have received a response from the slave. Enable verbose logging and you will see that it is the slave that responded with the exception code.

See in defines.py ILLEGAL_DATA_ADDRESS = 2

You are polling something that is out of range, this could either mean an address that doesn't exist OR that there is a max amount you can request per poll.

I regularly see this with amounts as low as even 20 on older modbus devices, try splitting up the requests into smaller <100 len chunks.

Hope that makes sense.
