'''Modbus TCP''' provides users with the possibility to set or get system parameters. The Modbus daemon acts as slave device. That means it accepts connections from a master (client) and sends out a response or sets some system related parameter in accordance with the given query.

Modbus parameters are held within '''registers'''. Each register contains 2 bytes of information. For simplification, the number of registers for storing numbers is 2 (4 bytes), while the number of registers for storing text information is 16 (32 bytes). The register numbers and corresponding system values are described in the table below:
