describe the different byte of encoding and show how the data is encoded as it is within
the Modbus/TCP packet.
5.2.5.1
Binary
A binary item is represented as a single bit within a data word. All binary is packed
into 16-bits data words, which are accessed using function code 01 and 02. Therefore, a
single register contains 16 bits of binary data, each having a specific meaning.

5.2.5.2
16-bits Word
A 16-bits word item is transmitted with the most significant byte first. Function code
03 and 04 read 16-bits items at a time; therefore, each of these data items will fit within
one register that is read.

32-bits Double Word
A 32-bits word item is transmitted with the most significant byte first. Function 04
read 32-bits items at a time; therefore, each of these data items will fit within 2 register
that is read.
