B.5 Modbus Registers
Modbus Register tables allow you to map Modbus registers to Point
Type, Logical, and Parameter (TLP) numbers. Using either Point
Indexing or Parameter Indexing, you can map more than one line in the
Modbus Register table to more than one register-to-TLP pair.
In point indexing, you map the Start Register to the selected TLP.
You then map subsequent registers (through the End Register) to the
