Writing Parameters

Write-Only

Use a PLC Tag to send data to a device's parameters. For Elipse E3, Elipse Power, or Elipse Water applications, this PLC Tag is available via Tag Browser.

The next table contains the description of the parameters used in this PLC Tag.

PLC Tag for writing parameters to a device

N1

Address or Slave ID of a device

N2

Code of a command. For more information, please check table Parameters of a device

N3

Code of an argument. For more information, please check table Parameters of a device

N4

Not used

 

The next table contains the N2 and N3 parameters of the PLC Tag used to send configuration data, with a Number data type, to a device.

0

Writing values. Possible values are 0: Automatic mode or 1: Manual mode

None

10

0 to 9 or 10

Writes the IN position for the n axis. The N3 parameter between 0 (zero) and 9 (nine) or the N3 parameter equal to 10 for all axes

None

11

0 to 9 or 10

Writes the B parameter for the n axis, in millimeters. The N3 parameter between 0 (zero) and 9 (nine) or the N3 parameter equal to 10 for all axes

NOTE

Writings with an automatic multiplier are for values with a decimal point. For example, writings with a 10 multiplier are for values with up to 1 (one) decimal point and writings with a 100 multiplier are for values with up to 2 (two) decimal points. This multiplier is applied to the value automatically written by users by this Driver, via protocol, so that a device can receive this value as an Integer data type.
