Example for MODBUS function codes 
The MODBUS function codes for National Instruments’ SCADA software 
“Lookout,” employ 6-bit encoding. For example, with the first bit here repre-
senting the function code: 
Tab. 8-10: Example for MODBUS Function Codes 
Input code  MODBUS function code 
0 FC1 ( read coils  Reading several input bits 
1 FC2 ( read input discretes  Reading several input bits 
3 FC3 ( read multiple registers  Reading several input registers 
4 FC4 ( read input registers  Reading a single input register 
The subsequent five positions indicate the channel number for the consecu-
tively numbered digital or analog input or output channels. 
Examples 
•  Read the first digital input:    e.g., 0 0000 1 
•  Read the second analog input:  e.g., 3 0000 2 
Application example 
The digital input channel 2 of the "Measured data" node can be read out by in-
putting "Measured data . 0 0000 2".
