This function is used to read from 1 to 2000 contiguous status of coils in a remote device. You can specify the starting address, i.e. the address of the first coil specified, and the number of coils. Coils are addressed starting at zero. Therefore coils numbered 1-16 are addressed as 0-15.
To configure this step open the Edit Step window from Sequence editor.
In the configuration dialog box, you can change the following settings:
· Connection Name: connection used to communicate with the device.
· Address: starting address of the coils to read.
· Nb Coils: number of coils to read (1 to 2000 coils) from the starting address.
The state of the coils is stored in Step.Result.CoilsState as a Boolean array. Bit 0 is stored in the first element of the array. In the report, the status of the inputs is represented with string where the bit 0 is on left side.
