Read Data from a Modbus/TCP Device (3003)
The Read Data from a Modbus/TCP Device COMMREQ requests a data transfer from a
Modbus/TCP device to the PLC. The Read Data COMMREQ must reference an active
Modbus/TCP channel previously established with the Open Modbus/TCP Client Connection
COMMREQ.
Registers, Coils or Exception Status data may be read from the remote Modbus/TCP device. The
Modbus Function Code specifies the data type. Valid Function Codes for the Read Data
COMMREQ are presented in the following table :
Function
Code
Description Base Address Data Unit Size Maximum Data
Units
1 Read Coils 00001 Bit 2000
2 Read Input Discretes 10001 Bit 2000
3 Read Multiple
Registers 40001 Register
(16-bit Word)
125
4 Read Input Registers 30001 Register
(16-bit Word)
125
7 Read Exception
Status Not Applicable Byte Not Applicable
An Address and Length specify the location of the data in the remote device and the number of
data units to transfer. The Length is the number of Registers or Coils to transfer. Modbus
Function Code 7, Read Exception Status does not require the address as the remove device
retrieves the exception status from an internal location.
Coil data is always padded with zeros when less than an even multiple of 16 bits of coil data is
returned to the PLC.
Data returned from the remote device is stored in the PLC data area specified in the Read
Modbus/TCP Device COMMREQ. Data can be stored in any of the PLC data areas. Refer to page
4-14 for the list of data areas and identification codes for the PLC. Note that the first item
referred to in each data area is item 1 not item 0.
The COMMREQ Status Word (CSR) indicates the success or failure of the Read Data
COMMREQ. If the COMMREQ requests an invalid channel number or any other field is invalid
the COMMREQ fails and the CSR is set to a non-zero value to identify the failure. See the section
“Status Data” later in this document for detailed CSR failure codes.
