Read Holding Register [03h]:
This function reads the contents of the specified number of consecutive holding registers
(of specified register addresses). An example follows below.
• Reading Trip monitor 1 factor and trip frequency, current, and voltage from an
inverter having a slave address “1”
• This example assumes the previous three trip factors are as follows:

Note 1: Broadcasting is disabled.
Note 2: Data is transferred by the specified number of data bytes (data size). In this
case, 6 bytes are used to return the content of three holding registers.
Note 3: The PDU Register Number are addressed starting at zero. Therefore register
numbered “0012h” are addressed as “0011h”. Register address value
(transmitted on Modbus line) is 1 less than the Register Number.
