Mailbox Addressing
Default types are shown in bold.
Arrays
Arrays are also supported for the holding register addresses. The
syntax for declaring an array (using decimal addressing) is 4xxxx[cols]
with assumed row count of 1 and 4xxxx[rows][cols].
For Word, Short and BCD arrays, the base address + (rows * cols)
cannot exceed 65536.
For Float, DWord, Long and Long BCD arrays, the base address +
(rows * cols * 2) cannot exceed 65535.
For all arrays, the total number of registers being requested cannot
exceed the holding register block size that was specified for this
device.
