Section 7. Message Length Mode
Using standard Gould/Modicon Modbus, all variable length messages include an 8-bit
byte count field which allows the receiver to determine the amount of data in the
message. In some applications, the use of this field is not the actual byte count but the
number of data items in the message. This variation only applies to register messages.
This is also referred to as non-extended mode.
