SC1000 Modbus Setup QR

The document provides instructions for configuring Modbus communication from an SC1000 controller. There are two methods for transmitting Modbus data - using a telegram format which combines sensor data into registers, or using virtual slaves which transmits data directly from sensor registers. The user must configure the Modbus address and data format based on their network and communication needs to avoid conflicts between multiple SC1000 devices.

SC1000 Modbus Configuration Quick Reference

Background
Modbus data is transmitted from the SC1000 using either a Modbus expansion card, or through the Ethernet service port via Modbus TCP/IP !egard"ess of the method of output used, SC1000 interna" programming and configuration is identica"

Appendix A: Explanation why a floating point !alue can be shifted in its register position by changing the data order:
The Problem here is the nature of IEEE754 floating point numbers. If you have got 4 byte floating-point numbers of this type the Most Significant it! "MS #! $etermines the sign. The ne%t & bits $etermine the e%ponent "to basis t'o# an$ the rest of the bits $etermine the mantissa of the floating-point number. ecause of this structure the first () bits alrea$y $etermine **+ of the floating point value. , fe' e%amples(../45)7 is in he%- /0*E1)4 or *)/.&5.7 is in he%- 44710)*/ but 44711111 is alrea$y *)1.1 So if the secon$ t'o bytes of a floating-point value are set to 2ero the ne' floatingpoint value is only slightly $ifferent compare$ 'ith the original.
