2) Example program 1 It’s supposed that MASTER-K120S main unit is the master and it reads Coil Status of the station no. 17, a Modicon product.
The master reads status of the Coil 00020 ~ 00056 of the slave station no. 17. The Coil of the slave station is supposed to
be as follows and the data that are read is saved in D1000
Coil 59 58 57 56 55 54 53 52 51 50 49 48 47 46 45 44 43 42 41 40

• The status of Coil 57, 58, 59 are redundancy.
• Data is sent starting from the low bit by byte unit. If the deficient bit of a byte is filled with 0. An example of sending the
above data is as Following example 1.
Example 1) CD B2 0E 1B
① It designates slave station and function code (No. of station : h11(17) , function code : h01)
② Address setting
- Address ‘0’ at MODBUS protocol means address ‘1’ actually .So if you want to designate address ‘20’ , write
address ‘19’
③ Reading number setting ( Reading number is 37 from 20 to 56.)
④ This is MODBUS Communication instruction.
- Data is sent starting from the low bit by byte unit. If the deficient bit of a byte is filled with 0. An example of sending
the above data is as follows.
- The data transmission starts lower byte. The remnant part of byte is filled with ‘0’
⑤ Stored data at D1000,D1001,D1002 are :
Device Stored data
D1000 h CD 6B
D1001 h B2 CE
D1002 h 00 1B
