16-bit variables:
These variables are stored in a single register. Bit_0 is the least significant bit (LSB)
and Bit_15 is the most significant bit (MSB).
32-bit variables:
These variables are stored in 2 consecutive registers. The 16 least significant bits are
located in the first register and the 16 most significant bits are located in the second register.
Bit arrays:
Arrays larger than 16 bits are stored in multiple registers. The LSB of the first register is bit_0.
The MSB of the first register is bit_15. The LSB of the second register is bit_16. The MSB of the second
register is bit_31, and so on.
Record reading is performed using function code 03 (read multiple registers). The MODBUS master
device sends a query. The response can be either the required data or an error message. Up to 123
registers can be read at once. If a query for more than 123 registers is made, an error message is sent as
a reply. Message structure is as follows.
