Loopback Test
The loopback test returns command messages directly as response messages without changing the contents to
check the communications between the master and slave. You can set user-defined test code and data values.
The following table shows a message example when performing a loopback test with the slave 1 Drive.
Writing to Multiple Storage Registers
Write the specified data to each specified storage register from the specified addresses. The written data must
be in the following order in the command message: Higher place 8 bits, then lower place 8 bits, in storage reg-
ister address order.
The following table shows an example of a message when forward operation has been set at a frequency refer-
ence of 60.0Hz in the slave 1 Drive by the PLC.
