Definition
DRFLEx.h within class CDRFLEx, public section (line 863)

bool set_modbus_output(string strSymbol, unsigned short nValue)
{
    return _set_modbus_output(_rbtCtrl, strSymbol.c_str(), nValue);
};

Parameter

Parameter Name	Data Type	Default Value	Description
strSymbol	string		Modbus signal name registered in the controller.
nValue	unsigned short		Output value for the Modbus signal: - For Modbus Digital I/O: 0 (OFF) or 1 (ON) - For Modbus Analog I/O: Data value to be transmitted.

Return

Value	Description
0	Error — failed to output Modbus signal.
1	Success — Modbus signal successfully output.

Example

// When the Modbus digital I/O is connected and registered as “do1” and “do2”
drfl.set_modbus_output("do1", 1);    // Turn ON output “do1”
drfl.set_modbus_output("do2", 0);    // Turn OFF output “do2”

This example controls two Modbus output points, do1 and do2, by sending ON/OFF digital signals through the Modbus interface previously registered using add_modbus_signal.
