I have a system where I need to read ~10 floats from an F file in a Micrologix that has 110 values, but the ones I need are scattered throughout the file (ie I need index 1,15,30,45,54,etc.). Does anyone know if it's more efficient to read all of them in one MSG instruction and just select the ones I need afterwards, or should I configure 10 MSG's and read them one by one? This is over Ethernet I/P.
Normally I would map them in the Micrologix to a contiguous array, but this is an OEM skid, and I'm not allowed to update their code, hence trying to figure the best way to do these reads.
Any tips appreciated...
