I'm trying to emulate a modbus device that has non ASCII data in the vendor name part of the device information. The library cannot correctly encode this, because when encoding this info it is encoded as utf-8. For example, a vendor name of "\xF0\x12\x34" ends up as b"\xC3\xB0\x12\x34" in the encoded payload.
This PR changes the encoding of the device information fields to support both
bytes
objects andstr
objects.The appropriate unit tests have been added.
