Stored procedures
Writes one or multiple bits to a specific address in a Modbus slave.
Remarks:
  • This function blocks the application until the slave acknowledges the message or until the session timeout is exceeded.
  • The single-bit write operation corresponds to Modbus function code 05 (Write Single Coil).
  • The multiple-bit write operation corresponds to Modbus function code 15 (Write Multiple Coils).
Example
// Crée une session et connexion à un serveur Modbus
Session is modbusSession
Session = ModbusConnectTCP("192.168.1.7")

// Si la connexion échoue, affiche l'erreur
IF ErrorOccurred = True THEN
	Trace(ErrorInfo())
ELSE
	// Ecrit une séquence de 5 bits à partir de l'adresse 0x42.
    IF NOT ModbusWriteBit(Session, 0x42, [1,0,1,1,0]) THEN
	 Trace(ErrorInfo())
    END
END    

// Déconnexion
ModbusDisconnect(Session)
Syntax

Writing 1 bit to a Mobdus slave Hide the details

<Result> = ModbusWriteBit(<Session> , <Address> , <Bit>)
<Result>: Boolean
  • True if written successfully,
  • False otherwise. To get more details on the error, use ErrorInfo with the errMessage constant.
<Session>: modbusSession variable
Name of the modbusSession variable that corresponds to the communication session with the Modbus slave.
<Address>: Integer
Value between 0 and 65,535 that corresponds to the address (slave) to which the bit must be written.
<Bit>: Boolean
Value of bit to be written: True or False.

Writing multiple bits to a Modbus slave Hide the details

<Result> = ModbusWriteBit(<Session> , <Address> , <Bits to be sent>)
<Result>: Boolean
  • True if written successfully,
  • False otherwise. To get more details on the error, use ErrorInfo with the errMessage constant.
<Session>: modbusSession variable
Name of the modbusSession variable that corresponds to the communication session with the Modbus slave.
<Address>: Integer
Value between 0 and 65,535 that corresponds to the address (slave) to which the bits must be written.
<Bits to be sent>: Array of booleans
Name of the Array variable that contains the bits to be sent.
Remarks
CAUTION: As writing operations involve the manipulation of automation devices, it is advisable to test the various commands before putting them into production, to ensure that the devices perform the required operations.
