8.2.2 Types of Modbus data
PointeControl allows mapping to four different Modbus data types: Coils,
Discretes, Analogs, and Registers. The following table shows which variables in
Logic Memory can be mapped to each data type:
Coils
(00001-
09999)
read/write
Discretes
(10001-
19999)
read only
Analogs
(30001-
39999)
read only
Registers
(40001-
49999)
read/write
