Did you ask ProSoft?

ProSoft has a large number of "modules." YOu should ask them directly... you'll get the right answer.

The modules I worked with support floating point, but you should go to http://www.prosoft-technology.com and select the product you are using and review the associated technical documents or call technical support.

Manuals and sample code are on their website.

Good Luck.

Yes, the ProSoft Modbus modules do support floating point data. They are stored and transmitted as two 16-bit integers. Hope this helps.
