3. Group read and write registers together in the programmable pointer list
and access them with separate Modbus commands. The ETH-100 can
process read requests and write requests faster when they are grouped together
rather than the master having to issue multiple transactions to access disjoint
registers. This is especially true when the registers to be accessed are also
configured as ASD scan registers. Pointer registers can be accessed in any
combination of starting register and length. In the setup below, you would
optimize ETH-100 efficiency by having two Modbus transactions: one read
request with a length of 6 starting at register FC00, and one write request with a
length of 2 starting at register FC08.
