5.1.3 Write communication program
1. Add FB7 and FB8 into the program Blocks in such method: double-click OB1 to
open OB1 programming screen, invoke send program block FB8 and receive
program block FB7 from Libraries->CP PtP->CP341, and then delete them from
OB1 because these two function blocks will be used in MODBUS Slave
communication.
2. Invoke MODBUS Slave function block FB80 at Libraries->Modbus->Modbus -
>FB80. Distribute instance data block DB80, and set the parameter LADDR as
start logic address 256 in the hardware configuration.
