Superblock Reading

This Driver supports Superblocks since version 1.7. This feature allows Elipse E3, Elipse Power, or Elipse Water to group Tags configured in an application into blocks with the largest possible size, to optimize communication. To enable this feature in Elipse E3, in Elipse Power, or in Elipse Water, configure the EnableReadGrouping property of a Driver object to True.

Not all data types support this feature. BCD data types and Counter and Timer areas cannot be grouped.

Support for grouping blocks of bits is not yet implemented in the current version of this Driver, but it may be implemented in future versions.

Data type 29, which reads 16-bit integers and formats them as 32-bit Floats, also cannot be grouped in the current version of this Driver.

For Tags with outputs in String format, it is recommended to use A, or ASCII, tables for grouping String readings via Superblocks. If a project opts by using ST, or String, tables, group readings are not allowed for this type of table.
