7.5 Modbus query
With each query of sensor data via the Modbus protocol, a block of
consecutive registers is read (up to all of the 16 registers).
For a query of sensor data, determine the first register and the number
of registers to be read (1 ... 16).
Determining the first
register to be read
The first register to be read depends on the sensor number (Sxx) [1 or
2] and the number of the sensor register (R) [1 ... 8]:
(Sxx - 1)] * 8 + R.
Example: Determine the first register with data for the sensor S02:
[(2 - 1) * 8] + 1 = 9
Determining the number
of registers to be read
The number of registers to be read is maximum 16.
Example: Read all data of X sensors
