Modbus Troubleshooting

Use when Modbus IO misbehaves (timeouts, extra data, wrong values).

Quick checks

• Verify device_id/unit_id on every call; wrong unit → timeouts.
• Add pacing (message_wait_milliseconds) and avoid immediate post-write polls.
• For RTU-over-TCP, flush/reset framer/buffer; reconnect on extra-data.
• Log address/unit/function and raw words to spot endian or offset issues.
