MODS FOR DATA CONVERSION
Since the Modbus Protocol only sends data in 16-bit registers, some data modification is needed to
convert those values into floats. Usually Modbus devices to send floating point data as two 16-bit
registers that then need to be combined to properly retrieve the original floating-point value.
If data needs to be modified, use the following steps to add Mods.
First, click on the “Mods Configuration” link as shown in the image below:
