TRICONEX SYSTEMS PLC
ANALOG OUTPUT SUBSCRIBER (FC 187)
WBPEEUI240759A0
B - 11
Specifications Explanation
S1
Specification S1 is the block address of the next analog out-
put subscriber block.
S2
Specification S2 is the group identifier which must be unique
for each output group defined. Up to four analog output sub-
scribers can be grouped together. All subscribers in a group
must have the same unique group identifier.
S3
Specification S3 is the subgroup number and its number of
elements. Each analog output subscriber can handle up to
eight outputs for a maximum of 32 outputs per group. The
number of elements can range from one to eight. Performance
is enhanced by grouping as many points together as possible.
Valid entries for specification S3 are defined in Table
S4 through S11
Specifications S4 through S11 are the block addresses of out-
puts one through eight.
S12
Specification S12 is the output type.
0 = analog real
1 = analog real with quality
NOTE: Integer data is stored as 4-byte long in the PLC.
S13
Specification S13 defines the Tricon NCM (Network Communi-
cations Module) destination node number; range is from 0 to 10.
S14
Specification S14 defines the last two low order bytes of the
PLC device IP address. The IP address is in the format:
xxx.xxx.yyy.yyy
The specification is set to a decimal value derived from the
binary equivalent of yyy.yyy.
Example
IP address = 151.89.202.127. The last two bytes (202.127) convert to a
binary equivalent of:
1100101001111111
The decimal equivalent is 51,839 which is the value to enter in S14.
