Two word orders in one register map. That's a new one on me.

Two tables at the same numbers, every flow computer does it, never heard why.

RE: Modbus RTU RS-485 to six meters on a MicroLogix 1400, timeouts on the far three

Meter 6 getting reads through swapped, I can't explain that one either.

RE: Power meter kW over Modbus is ten times the clamp meter reading

The x0.1 column you skipped is the ten. The meter sends kW as an integer with one decimal implied, 1874 is 187.4 kW, and the current the same, 2310 is...

RE: Modbus TCP over LTE, half of twelve wellpad RTUs time out every poll cycle

It'll be the three blocks. Some RTUs are slow to answer a second request straight after the first. Merge them, read the whole span in one go and ignor...

RE: Modbus TCP through a serial gateway, exception 0B or no reply from every slave

TX and no RX is exactly what a request to slave 255 looks like.

Word swap. Swap the two words before the DWORD to REAL move. Every flow computer I've met does it the other way round to the PLC.

RE: Ignition Modbus TCP to a power meter, kW float register pair reads 1.27e+30

It means everything. 17352 is 0x43C8 and 29056 is 0x7180. Put them together as 0x43C87180 and that is 400.9 as a float, your 401. Your meter sends the...

How many registers per site, one block or several? And are the twelve polled one after the other, or all at once?

RE: Modbus RTU RS-485 to six meters on a MicroLogix 1400, timeouts on the far three

Two problems, both classic. Idle voltage near zero at the far end means there's no bias anywhere, so the line floats and the far receivers read noise ...

RE: Modbus exception 02 illegal data address reading a flow computer with S7-1200 MB_CLIENT

Off by one is my first guess always, 47001 in the block being register 7000 on the wire. You've tried both sides, fine. Post the manual page for those...

255 is the problem. On most straight TCP devices the unit ID is decoration, they'll answer to anything. Through a serial gateway it's the only thing t...

RE: MB_CLIENT on S7-1200 reads the wrong registers from a power meter, values shifted

Off by one, the oldest Modbus problem there is and I have lost days to it myself. The manual's 3000 is the protocol address, counting from 0. MB_CLIE...
