Read or write object assigned to Modbus address by using their address instead of their name.

Hi All,

my question is how I can read or write object assigned to Modbus address by using their address instead of their name.

I'm converting a project from Workbench Target3 to RemoteConnect and we used many times getregus and setregus functions. 

In Workbench, Global Variables are assigned to Modbus address.

For Loop, read Modbus registers by getregus and write their value to other register by setregus.

Now in RemoteConnect it’s OBJECT assigned to the Modbus address

In MAST logic/section I can have read one of them and write to another as follow

But I can’t find a way to access them by their addresses (47651 and 47653) so that I can use them in for loop to read and write. Any suggestion?

i suggest you use OPC UA client  to read and write data for your remote access its easier

Thank you KASMIC, definitely it's easier but I'm converting a project from Workbench to Remoteconnect and I wanted to keep the structure same as much as possible.

In the RemoteConnect Logic Editor, it's possible to modify the Data Editor to add a new column which will display any assigned Modbus addresses. However, it is not possible at this time to parse out that information for use in logic.

To read a sequence of Modbus registers from another device, or from the internal flow computer, the included Modbus Scanner can be used. The scanner can also be used to write to a sequence of registers. Using the Scanner does not require writing any logic.
