Network Instructions Section 3-24
The following diagrams show how data is stored in the data areas when the
service data is in 2-byte or 4-byte units.
1. Data in 2-byte Units
• Storing Data from the Leftmost Byte (Bits 12 to 15 of C = 0 hex)
Example: Storing the value 1234 hex in D+1
• Storing Data from the Rightmost Byte (Bits 12 to 15 of C = 8 hex)
Example: Storing the value 1234 hex in D+1
2. Data in 4-byte Units
• Storing Data from the Leftmost Byte (Bits 12 to 15 of C = 0 hex)
Example: Storing the value 12345678 hex in D+1 and D+2
• Storing Data from the Rightmost Byte (Bits 12 to 15 of C = 8 hex)
Example: Storing the value 12345678 hex in D+1 and D+2
Example In this example, EGATR(721) is used to read the general status of a DRT2
Slave (I/O Terminal).

Frame
The data in the frame is
in the order 34 → 12.
In this case, 1234 hex is
stored from the leftmost
byte in the order 34 → 12.
