MODBUS.ENDIAN

Description

When reading or writing 32-bit values over Modbus there is no standardization over which 16-bit word is in the lower address. This parameter allows selecting between the two options.

0 = Big endian (default). The high bytes are in the lower address. Often called Motorola order.
1 = Little endian. The low bytes are in the lower address. Often called Intel order.

The order of bytes in a 16-bit word is defined in the standard as big endian.

Example

The following sets the option to use little endian.

-->MODBUS.ENDIAN 1
