In the world of industrial automation, Modbus Poll is a legendary tool. It is the "Swiss Army knife" for engineers testing and troubleshooting Modbus RTU or TCP networks. While the software interface appears simple—a grid of addresses and values—the true power of efficient data analysis lies in one often-overlooked feature: The Register Key . Address : Name : Scale/Format 0, System_Voltage, U16, 0
Address : Name : Scale/Format
0, System_Voltage, U16, 0.01, VDC 2, Motor_Current, S16, 0.1, Amps 10, Power_Factor, Float, 0.001, Ratio One of the most powerful features is decoding status words. If register 100 contains alarm bits, you can split it:
