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.

*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.

 

NOTE

IEC61131 Syntax Address Mapping

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.
