The ModbusAnalogPoint/ModbusBinaryPoint/ModbusMultistatePoint extension expands the Data Point's functionality giving it an option to expose it to the Modbus TCP/IP network as a Modbus point, and, otherwise, it allows to manually hide it from the network yet preserving its function in the application. It also transfers information to the Modbus TCP/IP network about the Data Point's status. The extension is native (cannot be removed), and is visible along with the regular slots and actions of the Data Point as a separate, integral part in the property sheet view.
The extension has the following slots:
-
Address: a read-only slot showing a Modbus register, which the Data Point is exposed on;
-
Address Format: a read-only slot showing a register address format;
-
Available information: decimal, Modbus, HEX;
-
-
Input Priority: allows to select the input number in the Data Point, which the value from the register is synchronized on;
-
Expose: enables the Data Point to be recognized within the Modbus TCP/IP network;
-
Available settings: true (exposed), false (hidden);
-
-
Register: a read-only slot showing the type of the register used;
-
Available information: holding register;
-
-
Data Type: allows to select a value data type;
-
Available settings: integer (default), signed integer, long, signed long, float, double.
