A.3.7 (0x08) Diagnostics
MODBUS function code 08 provides a series of tests for checking the communication system between a
client (Master) device and a server (Slave), or for checking various internal error conditions within a server.
The function uses a two–byte sub-function code field in the query to define the type of test to be performed.
The server echoes both the function code and sub-function code in a normal response. Some of the
diagnostics cause data to be returned from the remote device in the data field of a normal response.
