4x single word write
Note1: MAX1W and 4X_32Bit reads/writes 1 word for each packet and displays a 32-bit
value, whereas MAX2W reads/writes 2 words for each packet.
Note2: Go the [System Parameter Settings] -> [Device Properties] and click [Conversion]
to set the data format of device types 3x, 4x, 6x, 3x_double, 4x double.
Note3: Read/write a Bit at a time. Value 0 and 1 are used to represent ON or OFF status
where 0 means set OFF and 1 means set ON.
Note4: The number of bits to read can be set in Macro; therefore, it is recommended to
use 0x address type for functions such as GetData() and SetData(), in order to increase
reading speed.
To read/write multiple 0x address type in macro, use 0x_multi_coils to increase write
speed.
Note5: Please assign all the addresses to Even addresses, or all to Odd addresses, in
order to prevent communication failure.
Note6: EBPro V6.03.02 or later supports 64 bits data type (cMT Series only), but please
note that the address limit range is 48 bits in maximum..
PLC Connection Guide
NOTE:
Address type “5x” is mapped to Holding Register. The communication protocol of 5x is
almost the same as “4x” except that “5x” swaps double word.
If 4x contains the following information:
Address 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...
Data in word 0x1 0x2 0x3 0x4 0x5 0x6
Data 0x0201 0x0403 0x0605
For 5x, it will be:
Address 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...
Data in word 0x1 0x2 0x3 0x4 0x5 0x6
Data 0x0102 0x0304 0x0506
Modbus RTU function code:
Device type Read Write
0x 0x01 Read coil 0x05 write single coil
0x_multi_coils 0x01 Read coil 0x0f write multiple coils
1x 0x02 Read discrete input X
3x / 3x_Bit 0x04 Read input register X
4x / 4x_Bit 0x03 Read holding register 0x10 write multiple registers
5x 0x03 Read holding register 0x10 write multiple registers
6x 0x03 Read holding register 0x06 write single register
0x_single_coil 0x01 Read coil 0x05 write single coil
