Function code 05 - Write Single Coil
Function
This function enables the Modbus master system to write an individual bit from the
SIMOCODE pro bit memory area.
A valid address from the bit memory area is expected as the start address. The selected
address must be designated as writable (see the tables in Section Modbus RTU data tables
(Page 277), "Access" column).
0000h for a logical zero and FF00h for a logical one are accepted as data. Any other value is
impermissible and given a negative acknowledgment.
Controlling a motor connected to SIMOCODE pro from slave address 16 (assuming the
assignment of the process image corresponds to the default settings). For this purpose, bit
address 00 0x02 (see the tables in Section Modbus RTU data tables (Page 277)) is
controlled with logical one. This bit address lies within the process image output that can be
accessed both by bit access and by register access.
