SMV800 Modbus Communication
This section contains the Modbus interface and register map used in SMV800 Modbus
transmitter. Use this section to locate the Modbus register for the process variable and
status bits that will be retrieved from the SMV800 Modbus. The purpose of including this
register map is to provide the information required to implement this register map within a
host to achieve an effective exchange of data with the SMV800 Modbus. It is expected that
anyone creating such an interface has thorough understanding of the Modbus protocol.
