9.2 Modbus Address Table Modebus response table is as follows. As users communicate with transmitters by PLC or Man-machine Interface, be noted that whether there is a minus 1 situation in actual transmission of address. If so, please be necessary to add 1 in address so that it can match with the table. Example: for the temperature logic address 0037H (16-bit) or 55 (10-bit), if there is a minus 1 output signal proceeded by PLC or Man-machine Interface, then users need to input 0038H(16-bit) or 56(10-bit) first so that it can match with accurate temperature logic address 0037H (16-bit) or 55 (10-bit).
