03h Read Holding Registers Command
Use function code 03h to read directly from the Modbus Register map shown in
Table C.18 on page C.19. You may read a maximum of 125 registers at once with this
function code. Most masters use 4X references with this function code. If you are
accustomed to 4X references with this function code, for 5-digit addressing, add 40001
to the standard database address.
