RAM Variables
RAM variables use the Modbus command 04 Read Input Registers. RAM variables are read only
variables that correspond to what is shown on Digital Interface Module (DIM) display. TSI offers a
number of different models, so if a feature is not available on a unit, the variable is set to 0.
