5.9 Time Registers There are two sets of Time registers supported by the PMC-PMC-512-A – Year / Month / Day / Hour / Minute / Second (Registers # 60000 to 60002) and UNIX Time (Register # 60004). When sending time to the PMC-512-A over Modbus communications, care should be taken to only write one of the two Time register sets.
The DO Control registers are implemented as both “Write-Only” Modbus Coil Registers (0XXXXX) and Modbus Holding Registers (4XXXXX), which can be controlled with the Force Single Coil command (Function Code 0x05) or the Preset Multiple Hold Registers (Function Code 0x10). The PMC-512-A does...
Read Coils command (Function Code 0x01) because DO Control registers are “Write- Only”. The PMC-512-A adopts the ARM before EXECUTE operation for the remote control of its Digital Outputs if this function is enabled through the Arm Before Execute Enable Setup register (6014), which is disabled by default.
