Module usage

read() function

Reads all inputs.

In main index.js:

app.modbus.module.read().then( (data) => {
  app.logger.debug(data);
});

In any other async module:

const data = await app.modbus.module.read();

other read functions

• readHoldingRegisters(id, add, num, unit, type, scale) to read registers

write functions: values must be scaled by the app!!!

• write(outLabel, value)
