8. Modbus/TCP & Modbus RTU Function Codes
8.1 Function code definitions
The UDA Modbus protocol uses a subset of the standard Modbus function codes to provide access to
process-related information. These standard function codes provide basic support for IEEE 32-bit floating
point numbers, 32-bit unsigned/signed integer and 16-bit integer register representation of instrument's
process data.
Repolling of data is not supported by this instrument.

Read data in 16-bit Register Format (high/low). Used to read
integer or floating point process data. Registers are
consecutive and are imaged from the instrument to the host.
Provides Read access to any Analog Input Channel
positioned in any Rack or Slot.
Write Data in 16-bit Format (high/low). Used to write integer
and floating point data. Registers are consecutive and are
imaged from the host to the instrument.
Read instrument ID and connection information, ROM
version, etc.
