(0x05) Force (Write) Single
Coil
The force (write) single coil function simulates the activation of the digital
inputs in the instrument, which triggers the respective action.
This function code is used to set a single action to either ON or OFF. The
request specifies the address of the action to be forced. Actions are addressed
starting at zero. Therefore, action number 1 is addressed as 0. The requested
ON/OFF state is specified by a constant in the request data field. A value of
0xFF00 requests the action to be ON. A value of 0x0000 requests it to be
OFF. All other values are illegal and will not affect the output. The normal
response is an echo of the request, returned after the state has been written.
Here is an example of a request to write Coil 5 ON:
