Data Area - Uncompressed Timestamping with mSecs

The Data Area used to send the sample data with uncompressed time stamping is stored in Holding Registers 40200 through 40213. The sample data being sent is:

Holding Registers 40203 through 40208 contain a command to the CIMPLICITY Modbus TCP/IP communications enabler to set the value of a point at Input Register 17 to a value of 21035 with a date of May 14, 1997 and time 11:43:09.985.

The network address of the sending programmable controller is the Modbus TCP/IP.

For local data, the path is only 1 address long and the sending controller's IP address is put into the lower byte of the first holding register. The other two holding registers are set to zero.

For bridged data, the path may be 5 addresses long. The example above shows the path 6.4.0.0.0.
