The type of register being addressed by a Modbus request is determined by the function code. Coils are usually associated with relay outputs. Coils can be read or written, while discrete inputs are read-only. The exceptions to registers being 16 bits are the coil and the discrete input, which are each 1 bit only. The other possible type is Input Register, which is read-only. The most commonly used register is called a Holding Register, and these can be read or written. If a 32-bit integer or floating point is required, these values are actually read as a pair of registers.
Most often, the register is either a signed or unsigned 16-bit integer. Modbus data is most often read and written as "registers" which are 16-bit pieces of data. The majority of Modbus RTU devices only support speeds up to 38400 bits per second. Data is transmitted in 8-bit bytes, one bit at a time, at baud rates ranging from 1200 bits per second (baud) to 115200 bits per second.

Modbus RTU is a relatively simple serial protocol that can be transmitted via traditional UART technology. The most commonly used form of Modbus protocol is RTU over RS-485. A register address or register reference is always in the context of the slave’s registers. The master will write data to a slave device’s registers, and read data from a slave device’s registers. This means a slave device cannot volunteer information it must wait to be asked for it. Modbus protocol is defined as a master/slave protocol, meaning a device operating as a master will poll one or more devices operating as a slave. The Modbus protocol specification is openly published and use of the protocol is royalty-free. Modbus remains the most widely available protocol for connecting industrial devices. Modbus is an industrial protocol standard that was created by Modicon, now Schneider Electric, in the late 1970’s for communication among programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
