Read Floats with Single Modbus Register Address (Enron/Daniel Float)

Some Modbus slave devices use a single Modbus address to store 32 bits of
data. This type of data is typically referred to as Enron or Daniel Floating-Point.

A device that uses this addressing method may have the following Modbus
Memory Map.

This type of device uses one Modbus address per floating-point register. To read
these values from the Slave device, configure the following command within the
module.

Notice that the count is now set to a value of 7. Because the Slave device utilizes
only 7 Modbus addresses, a count of 7 will cause the Slave to respond with 14
registers (28 bytes) of information.

Important: This command will still occupy 14 register within the MCMR.DATA.R

array.

You must not use addresses 1000 to 1013 in the Internal Address field for any other Modbus

Master commands.
