5.3.3 Tag name convention
5.3.3.1 ValueName
The Modbus IO Server Tags can be classified following ranges of values. Two types of ranges are used. The two following tables describe the
different ranges of value, for each of the two standards.
• First standard:
• Second standard:
The second standard allows more than 9999 values in each range. Notice the "+" sign before the register value.
* The two last ranges are used with non-standard equipments that do not allow the reading of some of their values. In this case, specifying the
address in the "write only" ranges informs the eWON not to read the values after setting them, which is normally done in the other cases. If those
registers are read, the returned value will always be 0.
