User defined Modbus mapping

The system hub can be configured for a user defined Modbus map. This is useful when connecting to a
third party host without changing the host configuration.
The 64 tank values in the system hub will be mapped to the User Defined Modbus Server Input Register
Modbus interface. This is a file that can be created from a MS Excel spread sheet and uploaded to the
system hub.
