Question
A Modbus device is passing float data to
SLC500 controller in two integers (N7:0).
How do you convert the two integers to one
floating point value (F8:0)?

A Modbus device is passing float data to a

MicroLogix 1400 controller in two integers
(N7:0). How do you convert the two integers
to one floating point value (F8:0)?

A Modbus device is passing float data to a

CompactLogix controller in two integers
(INT). How do you convert the two integers
to one real value (REAL)?

Answer
Modbus Data: (1) 32 bit floating point value
being passed as (2) 16 bit integers

When using a SLC or MicroLogix with a

Prosoft Modbus module:

A 32 bit floating point number is being

passed over Modbus as two 16 bit integers
and stored in N30:0 and N30:1. The COP
instruction is used to place the data into a
floating point file element so that it can be
used in math instructions and otherwise
manipulated.
