B5 Reading the archive data via Modbus
Archive entries are accessible via Modbus. The command 14h "Read General Ref-
erence" is used for this. This command can be used to index the storage ranges of
the archives and the corresponding management headers (see document:
"Modicon Modbus Protocol; Reference Guide (PI-MBUS-300 Rev. J)")
The TME400 only supports the processing of a sub-request within one request.
The structure of the request string is as follows:
Number of registers to be read (Hi)
Number of registers to be read (Lo)
The specified reference type in the request string is not checked in the TME400.
The following file number selects the archive or archive header to be read:
Management header custody transfer parameter archive
Custody transfer parameter archive
Management header parameter archive
Management header event archive
Management header minutes archive
Management header daily archive
Management header monthly archive
