CAUTION!
Configuration changes (including changes to the setpoint values) are not automatically stored in
the EEPROM.
The changes are lost in the event of a power failure.
For permanent storage of the changed values, the Modbus address 0x6D00 must be written with a
"1" (TRUE) after each change. (The complete configuration data is saved with each write operation.)
BOOL16 The least significant bit of a word (16-bit) as a Boolean value (1 = TRUE; 0 = FALSE); the
remaining bits are not used.
ENUM16 Word (16-bit) as a list (sequence) of elements (starting with 0)
BIT16 Word as bit field (bit 0 to 15)
BIT32 Double word as bit field (bit 0 to 31)
UINT32 Double word (32-bit) as an unsigned integer value (unsigned integer,
value range 0 to 4,294,967,295)
UINT16 Word (16-bit) as an unsigned integer value (unsigned integer,
value range 0 to 65535)
INT16 Word (16-bit) as a signed integer value (signed integer,
value range -32768 to 0 to 32767)
FLOAT Double word (32-bit) as floating-point value according to IEEE 754
