A maximum of 12 Modbus registers can be polled together at the same frame. It has to be
noted that only a poll with a valid start address and quantity that falls within the supported
register range will produce a normal frame response. If you ask for a frame with start address
outside this range or a frame that the start address + quantity falls outside this range, the
TVA will reply with an 'illegal data address' error message. If the function code is incorrect,
it will reply with an 'illegal function' error message.
If a message is received with the wrong CRC, it will be ignored. The TVA response time is
not instant (look below) so wait for it to reply before asking for more data, otherwise it will
ignore new requests.
