Data Storage Order in Modbus Protocol

Data Storage Order in Modbus Protocol

The Modbus protocol specifies the use of big-endian byte order at the byte level. However, for data types larger than 16 bits (i.e., 2 bytes) such as 32-bit floating-point numbers and 32-bit integers, the protocol does not define the order of words, leading to different implementations by various device manufacturers. Here is a detailed explanation: … Read more
