Function Codes Read Coil Status (Function Code 01)
Query
This function allows you to obtain the ON/OFF status of logic coils (Modbus
0x range) used to control discrete outputs from the addressed slave only.
Broadcast mode is not supported with this function code. In addition to the
slave address and function fields, the message requires that the information
field contain the initial coil address to be read (Starting Address) and the
number of locations that are interrogated to obtain status data.
The addressing allows up to 2000 coils to be obtained at each request.
However, the specific slave device can have restrictions that lower the
maximum quantity. The coils are numbered from zero; (coil number 1 = zero,
coil number 2 = one, coil number 3 = two, and so on).
The following table is a sample read output status request to read coils 0020 to
0056 (37 coils) from slave device number 11.
