3.3.3 Schneider Electric Quantum PLCs
Use the Modbus TCP/IP New Tag dialog box to add Tags from a Schneider
Electric Quantum PLC (Unity or Concept) controller to the module's configuration.
To open the Modbus TCP/IP New Tag dialog box, you select the Tags node
under a Schneider Electric Quantum PLC controller in the Configuration Editor
tree and then click the N
EW
button on the toolbar.
The dialog box allows the user to enter the following parameters.
Parameter Description
Tag Name The desired name of the tag and is completely at the discretion of the
user. It is suggested that it resemble the tag as it is labeled in the
Schneider Electric Quantum controller.
Register/Coil The desired area of the state RAM to be accessed. The four areas are
Coils (0x0000), Input Status bits (1x0000), Input register (3x0000), and
Holding Register (4x0000). Each area designation is followed by the
most significant digit of the Concept (direct) address, shown in
parenthesis.
Offset The desired offset, within the state RAM, of the data to be accessed.
This, coupled with the register/coil selection, will determine the
complete address of the data to be accessed. For example, selecting
Holding Register with an offset of 00180 would produce a final address
of 400180.
Data Type The desired format for accessing the data. Register/coil types of coil
and input bit can only be accessed as byte_bools. Registers may be
accessed as one of the following:
Int16 - 16-bit Signed Integers
Int32 - 32-bit Signed Long Integers
Uint16 - 16-bit Unsigned Integers
Uint32 - 32-bit Unsigned Long Integers
Float32 - 32-bit Floating Point
Number of Elements The number of elements to be accessed. This allows for array transfers.
