Instruction Manual
Network Tab
Client Read Map
Use the
Client Read Map
tables to create maps that read data from the Modbus/TCP devices
defined in the
Devices
page.
Maps entered on the
Client Read Map
page only read data from remote devices. To write data to
those devices, go to the
Client Write Map
tab. For each remote register to be read, enter the register
type, remote register format, register number, remote device, scale, and local register number.
Any parameters shown may be changed and submitted by clicking the Update button, but this
screen displays only an abbreviated list of the map parameters. To view and/or modify the complete
set of parameters, click on the hyperlinked map number in the left column and use the expanded
Client Read Map
page.
If you have Swapped incorrectly, check the data. When floating point data is reversed, a 1.0
becomes 2.2779508e-41, which rounds to zero. A floating point 1.1 becomes negative 107609184.
If 32-bit integer data is reversed, 1 becomes 65536.
Unit (Optional): The unit or device number is an optional parameter and used primarily for
organizational purposes.
Local Register Number: After the remote register is read and the data multiplied by the scale
factor, the data is written to the Local Register number.
Name: The name is optional and used only for display purposes. The names are defined in the
Devices
page using the local name field.
Remote Device: The local names from the
Devices
tab are listed in this drop-down list.
Remote Register Format: Select the format of the remote register from integer, unsigned, double,
float, or bit. An integer is a 16-bit (signed) number, an unsigned format is a 16-bit unsigned number,
a double refers to a double precision (32-bit) value, a floating value is a floating point number, and a
bit value is a single bit that can either be a 0 or a 1 (discrete value.)
Remote Register Number: The Remote Register entry is the register number being read in the
mapping.
Remote Type: Select a Remote Type from the following drop-down list: none, coil (output), discrete
input, input register, or holding register.
Remote Type
Description
Coil (output)
1xxxx - Other slave devices, write only, 1 bit
Discrete Input
3xxxx - Other slave devices, read only, 1 bit
Input Register
3xxxx - SureCross™ slave devices, read only, 16 bit
Holding Register
4xxxx - SureCross slave devices, read/write, 16 bit
Banner Engineering’s SureCross™ slave devices use only input registers and holding registers.
When using devices from other manufacturers, please refer to the manufacturer’s documentation to
determine what I/O types are used.
Selecting
None
for remote type negates the rule though it remains in the list until deleted. Unused
rules at the end of the list always show
None
as the remote type. To prevent these from displaying,
reduce the number of maps enabled on the expanded view.
