Step 5
Click at the P2P point object to access property sheet.
Enable the point by modifying the
enable
property to “
true
”object.
If the object needs to write to registers on the network, enable the “
readWrite”
property.
Configure the address. Address range allowed is from 0 – 255.
The
bit
property is for a Boolean data type objects
ONLY
. This allows users to fully utilize each bit of the register
and get up to 32 Boolean objects per register instead of only 1 Boolean register per 32 bit.
Example:
Boolean 1 can be configured to be register 0 / bit 0
Boolean 2 can be configured to be register 0 / bit 1
All 32 bits can be utilized, so 32 boolean points per 1 register as long as the bits are assigned properly
The 256 register addresses are shared among all data types.
As an example, if address 1 is used for boolean object then address 1 is no longer valid to be used by float or
integer.
The next object such as float data or integer data will need to occupy address 2 or any other register.
Step 6
Create multiple P2P objects by repeating step 4 and step 5.
If a Float or Integer data type object is used the Bit property is disabled.
It is not necessary to have all the points addressed in a controller.
There may be a situation where only a few controllers are sharing the same point, and the other controller does
not require that specific point.
