 In the world of industrial automation, //Registers// are understood as units of data that are attributes of automation equipment. They can describe some external parameters of technological processes (the value of temperature, pressure, flow, state of actuators, etc.) or internal states of the devices themselves (parameters of regulators, filters, alarms etc.). In the world of industrial automation, //Registers// are understood as units of data that are attributes of automation equipment.

Address assignment format depends upon protocol type and usually comprised of a 'letter + digit' sequence. The letter indicates memory address space and the digit is an offset in this memory. See [[supported_protocols]].

 But sometimes it is neccessary to write a defined mask (group of bits) to the end device. In this case remember how the number in WebHMI register is obtain. E.g. to set 7th and 6th bit (started from 0) in the source register, 3 value has to be written in WebHMI register. Or if 7th and zero bits were checked in the mask, 129 would have to be written to set these bits. But sometimes it is neccessary to write a defined mask (group of bits) to the end device.
