perfectly acceptable to write to a tag that starts with “rd” and read from a tag that starts with “wr”.

[_reg_] is just the 5-character sequence “_reg_”.

[register number] is a 1- to 4-character field (“1”, “2”…”1484”, “1485”) corresponding to the referenced register number.

Examples

 

Read “acceleration time 1” (register #10) ...................................

rd_reg_10

Write “option frequency command” (register #1008) ..................

wr_reg_1008

Read “inverter status 1” (register #1402)....................................

rd_reg_1402

Additionally, a few special tags exist which provide backward-compatibility with V1.000 network interface CPU firmware. These are specified in Table 5.

To read data from the interface card, the application PLC program must reference a “source element” from which to start reading and the “number of elements” to read. The “source element” will be a tag name constructed according to the naming convention shown above, or a special tag as shown in Table 5. The “source element” can be either a base tag (such as “rd_reg_1301”, which starts at register 1301), or an offset from a base tag (such as “rd_reg_1301[4]”, which starts at register 1301+4 = register 1305, the drive’s input voltage monitor register).

In a similar manner, to write data to the interface card, the application PLC program must reference a “destination element” to which to start writing and the “number of elements” to write. Again, the “destination element” will be a tag name constructed according to the naming convention shown above, or a special tag as shown in Table 5.

Whether reading or writing, the “number of elements” can be any quantity of registers from 1 to the maximum allowable length (1485).
