Remote Address
This is the device address range used by a slave in the data exchange table.
The device range is in h
exadecimal if the slave in the data exchange table is a
user-defined Modbus Device.
Quantity
This is the size of the data exchange table, which is consistent with the result calculated
from the device range.
8.5.1.1 Data Exchange - COM1 and Data Exchange - COM2
On the
Data Exchange-COM1
or
Data Exchange-COM2 tab
, double-click row in the data exchange table to set to
open the
Item
dialog box as shown below. Select the
Enable
check box to enable the data exchange table in the
mode mentioned above.
Remote Address
is the address of the target slave for data exchange. The
Shortest Update
Cycle
is the period for data exchange of the data exchange table. The connection times out if the target device does
not make any response within the time specified by
Connection Timeout
.
Select
Support Read/write synchronization (Function code 0x17)
to have the master complete reading and writing
in a single command to improve the efficiency of data exchange. This uses the specific Modbus function code. Make
sure that all devices in data exchange support the Modbus function code for read and write synchronization. Otherwise,
the attempt to read and write fails due to the failure to identify function codes after receiving the command from the
master device.
Remote Device Type
is the model of a target slave including the Delta PLC and standard Modbus devices.
