• string address number of the coil
• optional number port numer of port (default 502)
• optional number timeout maximum seconds to wait for response (default 30)

function modbusReadCallback(data)
  if data.result == 0 then
    log(string.format("modbus addr %d, got %s", data.address, tostring(data.value)))
  else
    log(string.format("modbus coil addr %d failed with error %d: %s", data.address, data.result, data.errorInfo))
  end
end

for i = 101,104 do
  modbusReadCoil{deviceAddress='10.0.0.105', port=505, timeout=6, address=i, callback=modbusReadCallback}
end
