TCPW Function Block 
Description 
The TCPW label stands for Modbus/TCP Write. This block is part of the Communications category. It 
looks like this graphically. 
 
 
 
 
Function 
This is a communication function block that expands the write capability of the Modbus/TCP Slave 
function block to 8 additional data points.   Multiple blocks may be connected to the same Modbus Slave 
block. 
The Modbus write block has 8 inputs and no outputs. The Modbus destination for each of the eight inputs 
can be configured. An enable pin lets the data value be written once per scan. 
The configuration data for each point will consist of: the address of the destination device on the Modbus 
link, the register address of the desired data, and the register type: Integer or Float. 
Inputs 
EN1 through EN8 
= [ON] Data value is written once per scan 
WR1 through WR8 = Value to be written to the selected register address. 
ADDR = Slave address from associated TCPS block. (Must be connected to TCPS block) 
Outputs 
None
