Xenta 913 to read the register’s value once at start-up before it
assumes control of it.
• Coefficient Gain and Offset
– Allow the raw register value to be
converted into the desired absolute units. If the raw register value
is a real number then normally no conversion is necessary and the
default gain and offset of 1 and 0 can be used. But if the raw regis-
ter value is an integer then it often needs to have a gain and offset
applied.
As an example, a power meter might generate voltage values as
unsigned integers with the actual voltage multiplied by 10. In this
case the Xenta 913’s gain should be set to 0.1 to convert the raw
units (10*V) into the required absolute units (V).
• Signal DataType
– Is set to a default of BOOL, INTEGER or
REAL based on the selected register type. But the default data
type may subsequently need to be changed to suit the applied con-
version coefficient. For example, if a gain of 0.1 is applied to an
integer it will produce a real value, so the default DataType would
be changed to REAL in this case.
• Signal Measurement System
– The measurement system param-
eters need to be manually set to match the absolute form of the
register value after conversion by the coefficient gain and offset,
being either an enumeration or analogue engineering unit as appli-
cable.
Note
•The W and R/W I/O options should only be selected for the reg-
ister types that are described as having read and write capability
in the preceding Register Number table.
Note
• For the Modbus TCP protocol, communications are improved if
the signals (register addresses) are added in sequence in the
device editor starting with the lowest register number.
