9–16 D485 MODBUS TO DEVICENET CONVERTER – USER GUIDE
APPLICATION EXAMPLE
This can be done by using I/O data input area mapping mailbox command (06h)
1.
Right click on EndInit item and insert a new mailbox.
2. Set command code to 06 (row 3).
3. The offset and length of attribute for each attribute must be provided. Each attribute
requires two words (four bytes) in message data; therefore, 5 attributes require 20
bytes. Enter 20 in the
Data size field - it will automatically convert and display as
0x0014 (hex).
Figure 9-27: Setting offset and data length for IO data input attributes
4. The offset and data length for each attribute in bytes in given below.
5. Enter the offset and data length values from the table above, then select the File >
Apply Changes menu item to save the changes.
6. The above I/O data input mapping object class A0h attributes are mapped to
assembly object class 04h instances with fixed attribute number 03h. The mapping is
given below.
