Write Floats to Slave Device
To issue a Write command to Floating-Point addresses, use the configuration in
the following table. The table describes the Modbus Map for the slave device.
Value

You must use a
COP
statement to copy the data from floating-point data tags
within the ControlLogix processor, into the
MCMR.DATA.W
RITE
D
ATA
array used
by the MVI56E-MCMR module. Below is an example.
The length of this COP statement must now be 14. This will COP as many of the
MCM_F
LOAT
_D
ATA
values required to occupy the
MCMR.DATA.W
RITE
D
ATA
array for a length of 14. This will take 7 registers,
MCM_F
LOAT
_D
ATA
[0]
TO
[6],
and place that data into
MCMR.DATA.W
RITE
D
ATA
[0]
TO
[13].
You must configure the command to write all 7 floats (14 Modbus addresses) as
follows.
The above command will take the data from
MCMR.DATA.W
RITE
D
ATA
[0]
TO
[13]
and write this information to Modbus Slave Device Address 1 at data addresses
40261 to 40274.
