to be added to trigger this instruction. For details on this instruction, refer to RSLogix5000.

Download the program to the PLC and put the PLC in the "Online" state.

Click on "Control Tags" and select "Monitor Tags" to expand "ReadData", as shown below. The data stored

at the starting address ReadData[0] is the data of the Modbus slave station read by the PLC via the gateway

GS11-EI.

Write I/O Data

Go to the "Offline" mode, add two new tags "WriteTag" and "WriteData" under "Controller Tags", and define

the type of "WriteTag" as "MESSAGE" and the type of "WriteData" as "DINT[500 ]":
