[N/B] Parameters for Addressing PLC or Block Tags

N1 or B1

Number of a station

N2 or B2

Number of a CPU from A series (usually 255 for FX series)

N3 or B3

Type of variable. For more information, please check the next table

N4 or B4

Initial address of variables

Size

Number of data points to read (Bit or Word)

 

NOTES

By default, Word-type variables are interpreted as unsigned values. To interpret these values as signed (negative values), add the value 1000 to the N3 or B3 parameter. For example, the value 17 indicates a Special Register D variable treated as unsigned and the value 1017 indicates a Special Register D variable treated as signed.

Some variables are addressed as decimal and some are addressed as hexadecimal. Please do not mismatch these two types when configuring these variables.
