WRD Reads D registers on a word-by-word basis
● Function
This function code reads a sequence of contiguous register information on a word-by-word
basis by the specified number of words, starting with a specified register number.
• The number of words to be read at a time is 1 to 64.
• For the format of response in the event of failure, see subsection 4.1.2.
• The command shown below includes the checksum function. When performing
communication without the checksum, do not include the 2-byte checksum element in
the command.
● Command/Response (for normal operation)
The response is returned in a 4-digit character string (0000 to FFFF) in hexadecimal.

● Example
Read the active energy (register symbol: kWh L and kWh H) of the PR300 at station num-
ber 01.
The register numbers for active energy are D0001 and D0002.
[Command]
[STX]01010WRDD0001, 0272 [ETX] [CR]
The data of active energy (2 words) will be returned in response to the command above.
