Description

A write global data operation transfers data to the communication processor of the current node; the data can be transmitted on the network as soon as the node receives the token and then read by all nodes connected to the local network .

A write global data operation is carried out in one cycle and does not require a master transaction path. To program an MBP_MSTR block to write global data, use function code 5.

Network Implementation

A write global data operation can be performed only on Modbus Plus networks. The read and write global data operations comprise a Modbus Plus capability known as Peer Cop.
