Number Type: Determines the type and range of a given number. The Short number type is the
default Modbus type, using 1 Modbus register. Due to its limited range, the Long and Float types
are also available to store larger and more complex numbers and use two registers. The two
registers may be swapped by selecting the Inverse option. Short and Long store only whole
integer values (non-decimal) and can be unsigned, allowing only positive values, to enable a
greater range. Float stores a floating-point number. Binary types are only available for Discrete
Input and Coil types.
Number Range: Depending on the Number Type chosen, the number range will update,
indicating what values are supported with the given number type.
