8.11 Instrument Manufacturer Data Types
Modbus defines all I/O in terms of 2 byte blocks called registers. Modbus does not formally
define blocks for floating point values or strings. In the manufacturer’s implementation, these
fundamental types and others are handled by combining two or more registers. The
manufacturer data type implementations are defined in the following sections.
8.11.1 Short
A 2-byte signed integer contained in a single register data address. IEEE standard.
Where S = sign bit
8.11.2 Unsigned Short
A 2-byte unsigned integer contained in a single register data address. IEEE standard.
8.11.3 Long
A 4-byte signed integer contained in two register data address’s. IEEE standard.
Where S = sign bit
