Now it seems work and things start to get moving, at least on the desktop. I guess the most important is UDP instead ot Modbus over TCP which I expect require more communication. With this protocol it is also possible to access several registers in the same UDP message so I expect it to be rather efficient and not to for far from optimal which is good enough.
