GVAR_MODBUS_READ 60031 Read from this register will send read inquiry to Modbus device (PLC controller will be in till Regiter value received from Modbus device). Writing to this register will send ready inquiry to Modbus device. The value written is used as Register address to read
GVAR_MODBUS_WRITE_BITS 60035 Write multiple coils. Write multiple coils command indicates the 16-bit address of first coil to write, the number of coils to write, number of bytes of coil values to follow, and the coil values. The response will be the address of the first coil and the number of coils.
GVAR_MODBUS_READ_COILS 60036 60039 is to be used instead.
GVAR_MODBUS_RAW_WRITE 60037 Write single register. Write single register indicates address of the holding register and the new value of the register. The response, similarly, is the address of the register and the new value.
GVAR_MODBUS_WRITE_BIT 60038 Write single coil. Requests the 16-bit address of the coil, and the value to write (0 for OFF, FF00 for ON)
GVAR_MODBUS_READ_INPUTS 60039 Read multiple coils. This will request the address of the first coil to read and the number of coils to read. The Modbus device will respond with the number of bytes to follow and the coil input values
GVAR_MODBUS_INPUT_REGS0 60060 Input register 0 (+31)
