PINS

fnct_01_read_coils:

fnct_02_read_discrete_inputs:

mb2hal.m.n.bit bit out
mb2hal.m.n.bit-inv bit out

fnct_03_read_holding_registers:

fnct_04_read_input_registers:

mb2hal.m.n.float float out
mb2hal.m.n.int s32 out

fnct_05_write_single_coil:

mb2hal.m.n.bit bit in

NELEMENTS needs to be 1 or PIN_NAMES must contain just one name.

fnct_06_write_single_register:

mb2hal.m.n.float float in
mb2hal.m.n.int s32 in

NELEMENTS needs to be 1 or PIN_NAMES must contain just one name. Both pin values are added and limited to 65535 (UINT16_MAX). Use one and let the other open (read as 0).

fnct_15_write_multiple_coils:

mb2hal.m.n.bit bit in

fnct_16_write_multiple_registers:

mb2hal.m.n.float float in
mb2hal.m.n.int s32 in

Both pin values are added and limited to 65535 (UINT16_MAX). Use one and let the other open (read as 0).

Each transaction

mb2hal.m.num_errors u32 in

Error counter

m = HAL_TX_NAME or transaction number if not set, n = element number (NELEMENTS)
Example:
mb2hal.00.01.<type> (transaction=00, second register=01 (00 is the first one))
mb2hal.TxName.01.<type> (HAL_TX_NAME=TxName, second register=01 (00 is the first one))
