     result = client.read_coils(2, 3, slave=1)  # get information from device
     print(result.bits[0])                      # use information

+The line :mod:`client.connect()` connects to the device (or comm port). If this cannot connect successfully within
+the timeout it throws an exception. After this initial connection, further
+calls to the same client (here, :mod:`client.write_coil(...)` and
+:mod:`client.read_coils(...)` ) will check whether the client is still
+connected, and automatically reconnect if not.
