The following settings are required.
• Destination Network Address (DNA):
• When a routing table is created to treat the serial communications path
as a network, this is the network address associated with the Serial
Communications Unit or Board's serial port by the routing table
• When a routing table is not created to treat the serial communications
path as a network, this is the actual network address used to specify
the destination PLC.
• Destination Node Address (DA1):
• When a routing table is created to treat the serial communications path
as a network, set 00 hex for communications within the local PLC or
the “Host Link unit number + 1” for serial → serial → serial conversion.
• When a routing table is not created to treat the serial communications
path as a network, this is the actual node address used to specify the
destination PLC (the “Host Link unit number + 1” for serial → serial →
serial conversion).
• Destination Unite Address (DA2):
This is the serial ports unit address.
• Unit addresses for serial port 1:

• Set the following parameters in ASCII starting at S+1 with the leftmost
byte first: Slave address (2-byte ASCII), Function code (2-byte ASCII),
and the communications data (ASCII, 2 × n bytes).
Note For Modbus-RTU, set the Modbus-RTU Slave address (1 byte) in the
leftmost byte of S+1 and the function code (1 byte) in the rightmost
byte of S+1.
