Vijeo Citect modbus driver has a default mechanism of block read by default. Whereas OTB modules modbus address range for inputs is 0-99
and for output is 100-199 . Also OTB allocates modbus registers only when cards are used else they will remain reserved. Due to this behavior
of module when citect performs a default block read, communication fails with variables showing #BAD on graphics page.
To overcome this issue add "G" as a prefix to modbus addresses to force citect perform single read requests rather than block read.
For example using modbus address as G40100, G40101 etc for variables in vijeo citect.
