Do a search on this site for MODBUS, it may help explain. MODBUS is a specific protocol, and I'm not sure that just sending the string you refer to is sufficient. Also, make sure that you have the communications cables correctly connected, it sounds like you may be getting just an echo back, that the output serial pin may be connected to the input side.
