Register Data Types
The figure below describes specification of data types for registers used during Modbus
communications. Registers are fixed to 16-bits in length. Data longer than 16 bits
are stored using multiple registers. In this case, the data sequence (Endian) must be
specified. The MW100 can process 32-bit data. Specify “Little” to store data from the
least significant byte, and “Big” to store data from the most significant byte.

* MW100 data are all Little Endian, and assigned to Modbus registers. When loading MW100
data, specify “Little.”
For the available MW100 register numbers, Modbus protocol specifications, and other
information, see "Modbus Protocol Specifications" in section 5.2 of the MW100 User’s
Manual (IM MW100-01E).
