I guess you need to search for the info you seek....maybe in the tech manual

The nature of Modbus is that the master (Citect) queries the slave (FloBoss) and requests data from a specific address/register. The slave responds with the data from that address/register.

Find the Modbus setup in Citect and look for what the address/register is that is being queried.

Most Modbus slaves use a fixed map, meaning that the factory says which data is at which address register. The documentation has a published map/table of which data is located where in which address/register.

Some wireless gateways, PLCs and PACs and one flow meter I've run into have customizable slave maps - the programmer defines which data goes into which address/register. I don't know whether the Floboss has a fixed or customized slave map/table.
