2.2.5 MNET Servers
This section contains database offset information used by the server when
accessed by external Clients. These offsets can be utilized to segment the
database by data type.
Note: To use the server capabilities, your MVI56E-MNETC module needs to have firmware version
3.01 or higher, and your MVI56E-MNETC Add-On Instruction needs to be version 1.8 or higher.
Earlier versions do not support server capabilities.
Float Flag
Y ES or N O
This flag specifies how the server driver will respond to Function Code 3, 6, and
16 commands (read and write Holding Registers) from a remote Client when it is
moving 32-bit floating-point data.
If the remote Client expects to receive or will send one complete 32-bit floating-
point value for each count of one (1), then set this parameter to Y
ES . When set to
Y ES , the server driver will return values from two consecutive 16-bit internal
memory registers (32 total bits) for each count in the read command, or receive
32-bits per count from the Client for write commands. Example: Count = 10,
server driver will send 20 16-bit registers for 10 total 32-bit floating-point values.
