Limited value range
Modbus TCP registers have a maximum 16 bit width. The va
lues of display parameters (r
meters) cannot always be represented with 16 bits. In these particular cases, the
maximum value that can be represented is displayed.

7.7.4 Write and read access using function codes
Function codes used
For data exchange between the controller and device, predefined function codes are used
for communication via Modbus.
The Control Unit uses the following Modbus function codes:
● FC 03: Holding register to read data from the inverter
● FC 06: Write single register to write to individual register
● FC 16: Write to multiple registers to write to several registers
