Table 88: Data Types Supported in MODBUS
Data Start Address: Data initial address of a MODBUS mapping.
Data Size: The size value specifies the maximum amount of data that a MODBUS interface can access, from the initial
address. Thus, to read a continuous address range, it is necessary that all addresses are declared in a single interface. This field
varies with the MODBUS data type configured.
Data Range: This field shows to the user the memory address range used by the MODBUS interface.
