Unfortunately, some devices do not support this and there are sometimes incompatibilities in the order of the 16-bit high word and low word handling between the devices. In order to transport 32-bit data types across Modbus, they must be placed into two Modbus 16-bit registers. The Modbus protocol does not have a specific method outlined for data types outside of bits and 16-bit words. If the address is already assigned, a warning message will appear. Type in the Modbus offset value when entering the Tag Name and Data Type. Modbus addresses can be assigned to Tags as they are created in the Tag Database. The software automatically pre-fills the address offset with the next available address. You can accept the value that is pre-filled for you or the value can be changed. The right most value that you see in the ModStart field is the address offset (range is from 1 - 65535). Holding Register (Read/Write 16 bit word) The chart below indicates the four different Modbus data types in the 984 addressing scheme. This is fixed based upon the tag data type. The left most value is the Modbus data type. When you do this, you will see two values appear in the field.

To map a Modbus address to a tag in the Tag Database window, simply double-click in the Mod Start field for the Tag.

In the Tag Database window, there are two columns named Mod Start and Mod End. This is, in fact, the most efficient method to handle Modbus communications. When Modbus addresses are mapped to arrays, they will be mapped as a contiguous block of addresses. There are also array data structures in the CPU. In the CPU, there are multiple size types, so it is sometimes necessary to map multiple Modbus addresses to a single Tag entity. There are only two data sizes in the Modbus protocol: bits and words. There are two ways to map Modbus addresses to Tags in the Programming software:

Because of this, the Modbus addresses need to be mapped to the various tag data types in the CPU. There are many different data types in the CPU.
