(Word 10) Local PLC Memory Type: Words 10-11 specify the location in the local PLC where the Ethernet Interface will store data received from the remote device Valid values for Word 10 are listed below.

86Discrete global data table (bit mode)

Read-only memory, cannot be written to.

(Word 11) Local PLC Memory Address: Word 11 determines the starting address in the local PLC in which the data from the remote device is to be stored. The value entered is the offset (1- based) from the beginning of PLC memory for the memory type and mode specified in Word 10. This offset will be either in bits, bytes, or words depending on the mode specified. Valid ranges of values depend on the PLC’s memory ranges. The user is responsible for assuring that this area is large enough to contain the requested data without overwriting other application data.

(Word 12) Remote Device Address: Word 12 specifies the address in the remote Modbus/TCP

device. Note: The function code determines the Modbus address area 3xxxx or 4xxxx, Word 12 is the address within this area (eg. you enter 200 not 30200 in this example).

(Word 13) Number Registers in Remote Device: Words 13 specifies the quantity of registers

(16bit words) to read from the remote device.

(Word 14) Unit Identifier: Word 14 is the Modbus/TCP Unit Identifier, a special control code used in a Modbus/TCP message. The default is 1.This value is 1 for most Modbus/TCP devices except if a Ethernet to Serial bridge is used to multidrop to Modbus RTU devices.
