Flow (R):
Data type: 32 bit floating point (MSB – LSB) Should this be LSB-MSB?
Description: The actual flow as measured by the instrument
Because you only have one device on your network, and the Flow is “Instance ID1”, the Data Address
would be 0. If there were other save devices in your network you would need to add the last Address
of the previous device to the starting address of the new device.
Add a tag name. Address 0 with the data type, in this case IO D 0 S. (32 bit float, byte swapped). Add
a description. Set the Client access to Read Only. Click OK.
Kepserver has a very simple Quick Client that can be used to read and write to device tags. Click the
Hammer icon to start the quick client. When you highlight the profibus master.C100_1 tag, you can
read the flow data (4.756) and quality of the communications.
