Electromagnetic flowmeter MODBUS communication protocol

Version 1.8
1. Description
This communication protocol is suitable for the communication between the host computer
and the host transfer board. Real-time collection of instantaneous flow rate (unit), instantaneous
flow rate, flow percentage, fluid resistance, forward total, reverse total, alarm status, etc.; and
can read and write parameters to the host.
