ModbusClientStringRecord
This is a component for reading/writing Modbus file records (client side). The input and output is a string converted to/from
a byte array. Writing occurs when the linkable write action is fired. Reading occurs when the linkable read action is fired.
As needed, you can copy this component from the modbusAsync or modbusTcp palette into a ModbusAsyncDevice, ModbusTcpDevice, or ModbusTcpGatewayDevice.
