Float Definition
Stuffing of multi-byte numbers into multiple Modbus RTU registers differs among Modbus
devises.
„Big Endian“ and „Little Endian“ describe the order or sequence in which multi-byte data is stored
in memory. This device uses (as IEEE and Honeywell) a ‘Big-Endian’ representation for
addresses and data items. This means that when a numerical quantity larger than a single byte
is transmitted, the MOST significant byte is sent first.
