Read-only |
Single word Holding Registers |
40001,0-465536,15 |
40001-465536 |
Read/Write access. When you write to one of these bit addresses, the Display reads the entire word address, sets the defined bit, then returns the new word address to the External Device. If the ladder program writes data to this word address during the bit read/write process, the resulting data may be incorrect. |
Double word Input Registers |
30001,0-365536,15 |
30001-365535 |
Read-only To fit with equipment variable coding, the most significant byte could be chosen by the software. |
Double word Holding Registers |
40001,0-465536,15 |
40001-465535 |
Read/Write access. To fit with equipment variable coding, the most significant byte could be chosen by the software. |

*1Leading zeros "00001" must be preserved.
*2j is a bit index with the following convention: 0 for the least significant bit and 15 for the most significant bit.
*3k is equal to 65535 - string length / 2 rounded to the upper value. For instance with a 11 characters string we’ve got 65535 - 6 = 65529.
The addresses 100000 and 300000 cannot be accessed using IEC61131 syntax. Also, non-IEC syntax cannot access memory areas %I, %Q, %K, and %S.
Address mapping in BLUE is as follows. %MD and %MF use two sequential words form the specified address. The %KW, %KD, and %KF are mapped similarly.
