Example - TCP Modbus Ingestor

This ingestor will start a TCP Modbus listener that will poll 192.168.2.10 on port 502 every 15 seconds with a read coils (function code 0x01) request to address 0 and slave_id 255. The output of the listener ([]byte) is then passed directly to the template translator via the passthrough handler. The translator then uses the template ('script' field) to generate an EdgeIQ Report.

NOTE: The result ({{.output}}) from the read coils command will be [1] when the coil is on and [0] when it's off.
