A.3 Data Encoding
Registers using "32-bit float" data format are encoded using the "binary32" encoding defined
in IEEE 754 (also known as "single-precision floating point format").
The least significant 16 bits of a floating point number are placed at the Modbus register listed
in the table, while the most significant 16 bits are placed in the register with number/
address + 1, as specified in Open Modbus TCP Specification, Release 1.0. This is also known as
"little-endian" or "Modicon" word order.
