How to poll Modbus TCP tags published by Ewon Flexy

06 Jun 2023
The Ewon Flexy can publish its tag values as Modbus TCP registers. These tags are published in the analog input register range, so a register of 500 in the tag settings will be polled as 30500 by the client. Additionally, the Flexy defaults to a unit address of 100.
