10.1 Modbus Switches
The “Modbus Switches” are two Modbus registers dedicated for continuous writing of binary information via
Modbus. Both registers are available on Modbus for simple writing (using command 6 or 16). The particular bits
of these registers are available as binary status for universal use in logical binary outputs of the controller as
“MODBUSSW1..MODBUSSW32”. No password is required for writing of those registers (if there is no general
password for Modbus writing). There are two Values “ModbusSw1” and “ModbusSw2” in group “Log Bout”
available for back-reading.
Register for writing Modbus register number Value for back-reading Modbus register number
ModbusSw1 46337 ModbusSw1 40547
ModbusSw2 46338 ModbusSw2 40548
Note: Modbus register number for back-reading may be different based on controller family. Check register
numbers in list of registers described in “How get numbers of ModBus communication objects”. Register
number for writing is not mentioned in list of registers.
Note: The LSB of ModbusSw1 (46337) corresponds with LBO “ModbusSw1”
The LSB of ModbusSw2 (46338) corresponds with LBO “ModbusSw17”
