READ: Used for reading MODBUS registers from the remote station.
WRITE: Write MODBUS output registers to the remote stations.
WRITE_SINGLE: Write a single MODBUS discrete or analog output register to the remote station. Note: Only an option
when writing a singe discrete output or single analog output.
Local Type: Local Station I/O type. See Table2 ‐ I/O Types and Limits.
Local Relative Address (Required): First address of the local I/O used for the I/O transfer. Valid values are 1 through a
value of defined registers configured for specified I/O type. The address ranges are displayed on I/O Transfer screen
under ‘Display of Modbus Default Slave Addresses’ based on configured local register allocation for specified I/O type.
Remote Type: I/O type on the remote station. See Table2, 3, 4 ‐ I/O Types and Limits.
Note: If modbus WRITE operation is selected, this field should be limited to output register types.
Remote Address: First register address for the remote I/O used for the I/O transfer. Valid values are 1 ‐ 65536.
Number of Registers: Number of registers requested in the I/O transfer. This must be 1, if the WRITE_SINGLE com‐
mand is selected. See Table 2, 3, 4 ‐ I/O Types and Limits.
Note: Number of Registers must be 1, if WRITE_SINGLE command is selected.
Enter Update Interval (ms): Time interval, in milliseconds, for the I/O transfer. The recommended value for this field is
500ms or higher.
Scan Enable Type: I/O Type used for controlling and I/O transfer using either a discrete input or discrete output regis‐
ter. Valid options are DI or DO or Blank if not used.
Scan Enable Address: The address of the discrete register used to control an I/O transfer. Valid values are 0 through
number of registers configured for specified I/O type. Blank if not used.
