The MB_MASTER instruction uses a MODE input rather than a Function Code input. The
combination of MODE and Modbus address determine the Function Code that is used in the
actual Modbus message. The following table shows the correspondence between parameter
MODE, Modbus function code, and Modbus address range.

Read the slave communication status word and event
counter. The status word indicates busy (0 – not busy,
0xFFFF - busy). The event counter is incremented for
each successful completion of a message.
Both the DATA_ADDR and DATA_LEN operands of
MB_MASTER are ignored for this function.
Check slave status using data diagnostic code 0x0000
(Loopback test – slave echoes the request)
1 word per request
Reset slave event counter using data diagnostic code
