25-66 Modbus RTU Serial Communications User Manual, which is
available at Honeywellprocess.com.
The Honeywell Universal Modbus RTU protocol uses a subset of the
standard Modbus RTU function codes to provide access to process-
related information. Several MODICON function codes are employed.
It is appropriate to define instrument-specific "user-defined" function
codes. Several standard Modbus RTU function codes are supported.
These standard function codes provide basic support for IEEE 32-bit
floating point numbers and 16-bit integer register representation of
instrument's process data.
Repolling of data is not supported by these instruments.
