Table 9-1: Modbus Functions
Note! Exception: Because the ATT does not distinguish between inputs and outputs, function codes 01 and 02 as they apply
to bits, and function codes 03 and 04 as they apply to numeric values refer to the same data registers. For example,
either function code 03 or function 04 can be used to read the integer form of the true mass variable at data address
0053.
