Hi
Is there anybody on this forum who worked on Exter Touch Screens from Beijer Electronics. More precisely with the controller data exchange wizard. I am trying to use this wizard to communicate between Compact logix PLC and Seimens DCS (dont know the model........ not in my scope) in a Master (DCS), Slave (PLC) topology over modbus network. Everything is working good. However, I have about an array of data AI[224], of size 224 elements, and instead of mapping each an every element with the modbus register in the following way, i would like to come up with a smarter idea of doing it:
AI[0].data ------> 40001
AI[1].data ------> 40002
AI[2].data ------> 40003
.........
.........
One thing that i came up with was to use index registering inside the Exter HMi, but it works good at the modbus register end but not indexing properly at the PLC tag end AI[0].data, as it is an array data element? Any other ideas or correction in doing it smartly will be appreciated. Thanks in advance
