Modbus TCP Input bits on Modicon M340

[Anonymous user]

I'm new in schneider world and I have a question.

I'm using my modicon as a Modbus TCP Server, my client use for data exchange:

Holding Registers (%MW from 0 to 20): Client transmit data to Server on these addresses

Input Bits (%I from 0 to 😎 : Client Read data from Server on these addresses

Coils (%M from 0 to 8): Client transmit bit to Server on these addresses

When I use Topological Memory Management, Coils and input bits are both on %M.

When I use Mixed topological and State RAM Memory management, I read Coils on %M, but I can't write on %I, because it are Read only bits.

Is this the normal behavior or I'm doing something wrong?

Traditional ModBus addressing vs IEC ModBus addressing

In all cases, note that the traditional ModBus address starts at 1 and the IEC ModBus address starts at 0.

Input bits 1xxxx1 become %1xxxx0

Input words 3xxxx1 become %IWxxxx0

Output bits 0xxxx1 become %Mxxxx0

Output words 4xxxx1 become %MWxxxx0

Input bits and input words can only be read by an external device.

If you wish to simulate/ manipulate these values in your application you can do this using the Simulation function blocks.
Refer to the Help file for WRITE_INPUT_EBOOL as an example.

Output bits and output words are Read/ Write capable.
