Use a PLC Tag to read an individual Status or use a Block Tag with 57 Elements to read all Statuses of a device. For Elipse E3, Elipse Power, or Elipse Water applications, this PLC or Block Tag is available via Tag Browser.
The next table contains a description of the parameters used in this PLC or Block Tag.
Parameters for reading Status
N1/B1 |
Address or Slave ID of a device |
N2/B2 |
0 (zero) |
N3/B3 |
0 (zero) |
N4/B4 |
Status code, only for PLC Tags. For more information, please check table Status codes |
To read an individual Status, via PLC or Block Tag, use the codes from the next table.

NOTE |
Readings with an automatic multiplier represent the decimal points of the read value, that is, via protocol, data comes to this Driver only as an Integer data type, and users must divide this value by its respective multiplier, so that Tags can display these values with decimal points. |
