4.4.2 Big Endian Operation
To align the word handling between Modbus/TCP and the X-SEL controller, the I/O operation mode
must be set to the big endian with an FMIO command before executing a DI/DO operation
command in any X-SEL task.
With this setting the remote I/O field accessed via word operation with an IN, INB, OUT or OUTB
command of the X-SEL controller can be handled as the same data when the same field is
word-accessed via Modbus/TCP.
The following examples are based on 256-bit assignments from the head DO number (= 300) in
X-SEL as Modbus/TCP remote I/Os.
The only difference from the examples shown in 4.4.1, “Little Endian Operation,” is the byte order
of the word registers.
(Note) Remote I/Os can be defined only as consecutive numbers.
The assignable head number must satisfy: 300 + 8n (31
 n  0).
The total number of assignable bits must satisfy: m + n < 32 & 32
 m, where m represents
the number of assigned remote I/O bytes.
