For an overview on all functions, please refer to the block diagram (see p.
14).
 This function uses the 2nd RS232C (9-pin Sub-D connector).
 Since Modbus protocol, in contrast to the PLC, only recognizes 4
different memory areas, a configurable address translation table
was implemented. This allows you to configure offsets so that
Modbus "coils" and "registers" correspond to the PLC's memory
areas: X, Y, R, DT, FL, WR, etc.
 Various functions can be combined and used simultaneously.
 Most functions support the same list of Modbus function codes.
 You can configure all these functions manually or with the help of
the wizard.
17.2 Modbus-TCP server of the FP Web-Server in general
The FP Web-Server can be accessed by a Modbus-TCP client (SCADA) via
Ethernet for PLC data communication. To do so, the FP Web-Server
requests PLC data (MEWTOCOL protocol) via the 3-pin or/and 9-pin
RS232C port or the serial ports (RS485, USB) of the FP Web expansion
