FUNCTION CODE Select which Modbus function code (03 or 04) to use in
reading the slave device.
NUMBER
OF PVs
Select the number of process variables to be polled by the
Master (PV1-PV8).
SLAVE ID
Assign the slave ID or address (1-247) containing the
process variables to be displayed (Slave ID for PV1-8).
REGISTER
