6.4. Data and Status Reading (queries Using Code 03)
6.4.1 Reading Consecutive Multiple Registers
(1) Function
These registers read the contents of registers in a slave.
This function is not supported in broadcast communication.
(2) Start address list
With RC Series controllers, the sizes of send/receive buffers are set to 256 bytes, respectively.
Accordingly, a maximum of 123 registers worth of data consisting of 247 bytes (one register uses
two bytes), which is 9 bytes (header + slave address + function code + error check + trailer) of 256
bytes, can be queried in the ASCII mode. In other words, all of the data listed below (total 21
registers) can be queried in a single communication. It is also available to refer to multiple registers
of the addresses in a row at one time of sending and receiving.
