MbusMasterFunctions.readMultipleMod10000 Method (Int32, Int32, Int32[], Int32)

Modbus function 3 (03 hex) for 32-bit modulo-10000 long int data types, Read Holding Registers/Read Multiple Registers as modulo-10000 long int data.

[Visual Basic]
Overloads Public Function readMultipleMod10000( _
   ByVal slaveAddr As Integer, _
   ByVal startRef As Integer, _
   ByVal int32Arr As Integer(), _
   ByVal numRegs As Integer _
) As Integer

[C#]
public int readMultipleMod10000(
   int slaveAddr,
   int startRef,
   int[] int32Arr,
   int numRegs
);

Parameters

slaveAddr: Modbus address of slave device or unit identifier (Range: 1 - 255)
startRef: Start reference (Range: 1 - $10000)
int32Arr: Buffer which will be filled with the data read.
numRegs: Number of values to be read (Range: 1-62).

Return Value

BusProtocolErrors.FTALK_SUCCESS on success or error code. See BusProtocolErrors for possible error codes.

Remarks

Reads the contents of pairs of consecutive output registers (holding registers, 4:00000 table) representing a modulo-10000 long int value into 32-bit int values and performs number format conversion.

Note Modbus does not know about any other data type than discretes and 16-bit registers. Because a modulo-10000 value is of 32-bit length, it will be transferred as two consecutive 16-bit registers. This means that the amount of registers transferred with this function is twice the amount of int values passed to this function.
