(B) Read Holding Register [03h]
This function reads the contents of the specified number of consecutive holding registers (of
specified register addresses). An example follows below.

Reading Trip monitor 1 factor and trip frequency, current, and voltage from an inverter having a
slave address “1”

This example assumes the previous six trip factors are as follows:
NE-S1

D081
(factor)
D081
(status)

Note 1:
Broadcasting is disabled.
Note 2:
Data is transferred by the specified number of data bytes (data size). In this case, 12
bytes are used to return the content of six holding registers.
Note 3:
The PDU Register Number are addressed starting at zero. Therefore register numbered
“0012h” are addressed as “0011h”. Register address value (transmitted on Modbus line)
is 1 less than the Register Number.
