Chapter 6 – Available Modbus Registers 

 

Although most users will be satisfied using the default configuration, other Modbus registers 
can be configured for Foundation Fieldbus access. Below (Table 3) is a list of all available 
Modbus registers. These would need to be configured in the transducer block.
