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+3
• Storing Data from the Rightmost Byte (Bits 12 to 15 of C = 8 hex)
Example: Storing the value 1234 hex in D+3
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+3 and D+4
• Storing Data from the Rightmost Byte (Bits 12 to 15 of C = 8 hex)
Example: Storing the value 12345678 hex in D+3 and D+4
Note The examples above only show the storage of received data in D+3, but send
data is stored in S+6 in the same way.
Example In this example, EXPLT(720) is used to read the total ON time or number of
contact operations from 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
