words
Address 100 refers to 9 consecutive words starting
at word 100.
20 Bit
2
bits
Address 160 refers to the first and second bits
from word 10.
Therefore, address 16000 represents bit zero in word 1000 of the module's
database. Short floating-point, 32-bit strings and integrated total values each
occupy a double-word space in the database. Therefore, short float database
address of 100 represents the two words, 200 and 201, in the modules database.
Identification objects are stored as byte values in the modules database.
Identification object address 1000 is stored in the module's database in word
addresses 500 to 505.
When setting the monitored data and commands, each point is defined by its
ASDU type, function code, and information number. Valid function codes are
listed in the following table.

Refer to Protocol Interoperability Documentation for a full listing of the protocol
support offered by the module.
As blocks are transferred between the module and the processor, each block
contains block identification codes that define the content or function of the block
of data transferred. The block identification codes used by the module are
displayed in the following table.
