modbus_read_bits - read many bits
Contents
Description
The modbus_read_bits() function shall read the status of the nb bits (coils) to the address addr of the
remote device. The result of reading is stored in dest array as unsigned bytes (8 bits) set to TRUE or
FALSE.
You must take care to allocate enough memory to store the results in dest (at least nb *
sizeof(uint8_t)).
The function uses the Modbus function code 0x01 (read coil status).
