Conversion target value
To convert to a value, specify the value
using a character string.
(A): Mandatory item. However, for attribute name Register, node name Type is not mandatory.
(B): Mandatory item to use the option
(C): Mandatory item to convert data
1 If only a mask is available, bit mask is applied to the data value read from the register, and the result is handled as TRUE or FALSE.
2 Decimal and Hexadecimal integers are supported. For hexadecimals, the number must be preceded by a “0x.”
3 For a description of Data Type, see the table below.
4 Scaling calculation: Y = ScaleRatio * X + ScaleOffset
X: Modbus register value (after decimal point calculation; after conversion is a value conversion table is available)
Y: Computed result
5 Channel data status is processed in the following order of precedence: ADError, DataError, Burnout, PlusOver, MinusOver.
6 If the burnout type is set to DownScale (type value is 2) and the burnout status is 1, the data status will be −BURNOUT. If the burnout type is set to UpScale (type value is not 2)
and the burnout status is 1, the data status will be +BURNOUT.
7 Node channels include optional attributes. When registering a device in the Register Device dialog box, if you do not select this option, this channel will not be available in
the registered device.

How to Use
INT16
Use when a signed 16-bit integer is assigned to the device register.
UINT16
Use when an unsigned 16-bit integer is assigned to the device register.
INT32_B
Use when a signed 32-bit integer is assigned to the device register and the smallest register number is assigned to the highest bit.
INT32_L
Use when a signed 32-bit integer is assigned to the device register and the smallest register number is assigned to the lowest bit.
UNIT32_B
Use when an unsigned 32-bit integer is assigned to the device register and the smallest register number is assigned to the highest bit.
UINT32_L
Use when an unsigned 32-bit integer is assigned to the device register and the smallest register number is assigned to the lowest bit.
FLOAT_B
Use when a 32-bit floating-point number is assigned to the device register and the smallest register number is assigned to the highest bit.
FLOAT_L
Use when a 32-bit floating-point number is assigned to the device register and the smallest register number is assigned to the lowest bit.
Note
A read error will occur in the following situations.
• A mandatory item is missing.
• There is a syntax error. However, in the following situations, an error will not occur and the value
will be corrected when it is read.
• There is a limit to the string length for a node attribute, and this limit is exceeded.
• There is an allowable range for a node attribute, and the value is outside the range.
A sample Modbus device definition file is provided in the following pages. The sample shows
how the XML file should be structured.
When you create a Modbus device definition file, refer to the description of registers in
the user's manual of the Modbus device that you want to connect.
