Over the Modbus RTU RS485 protocol, the values can be retrieved according to the Modbus submenu
in Chapter 8.10.
In order to use Modbus RTU, a Modbus master is required. Up to 32 participants can be
interconnected in a segment. For more than 32 participants, repeaters (line amplifiers) must be used
to connect the individual segments. The devices are connected in a line structure as shown in Fig. 11.
