Modbus Read from Network (MRX)
The Modbus Read from Network (MRX) instruction is used by the DL260 network master
to read a block of data from a connected slave device and to write the data into V–memory
addresses within the master. The instruction allows the user to specify the Modbus Function
Code, slave station address, starting master and slave memory addresses, number of elements
to transfer, Modbus data format and the Exception Response Buffer.
• Port Number:

01 – Read a group of coils
02 – Read a group of inputs
03 – Read holding registers
04 – Read input registers
07 – Read Exception status
• Start Slave Memory Address
: specifies the starting slave memory address of the data to be read. See
the table on the following page.
• Start Master Memory Address
: specifies the starting memory address in the master where the data
will be placed. See the table on the following page.
• Number of Elements
: specifies how many coils, input, holding registers or input registers will be
