1-8. Modbus Function Code Read Holding Registers
(0x03)
This function code is used to read the contents of a contiguous block of holding
registers in a remote device. The Request PDU specifies the starting register
address and the number of registers. In the PDU Registers are addressed starting at
zero. Therefore registers numbered 1-4 are addressed as 0-3
The register data in the response message are packed as two bytes per register,
with the binary contents right justified within each byte. For each register, the first
byte contains the high order bits and the second contains the low order bits.
