208 (428) 9836 3123 01
One bit. Normally used for discrete I/O-data.
Length is 1-16 bits. All bits must be in the same byte. The left bit is the most significant bit and
the right bit is the least significant bit, i.e. 0001=1, 1000= 8.
CharacterStringChange (CSC)
Character string. Each character uses one byte ASCII code. Range: 2 - 25 bytes.
CharacterStringInput (CSI)
Character string with an extra “counter” byte in front. The extra byte is an integer counter and
must increase each time when the character string is entered to be able to detect a new input. To
enter the same value again (e.g. the same Job number), just change the counter.
FixedPointNumber (Fixed
point)
Two-byte integer part and two-byte decimal part. The first two bytes hold the integer part and
the last two bytes hold the decimal part. Used to represent torque value.
16-bit unsigned integer. Decimal 0 – 65 535.
32-bit unsigned integer. Decimal 0 – 4 294 967 295.
32-bit unsigned integer. MSW is the higher number word. Only shown in Intel Endian
CharStringChangeIntel (CSCI)
Character string. Each character uses one byte ASCII code. Range: 2 - 25 bytes. This type
makes Intel Endian character string follows byte order; the first character is the lowest byte in
the string. Only shown in Intel Endian
CharStringInputIntel (CSII)
Character string with an extra “counter” byte in front. The extra byte is an integer counter and
must increase each time when the character string is entered to be able to detect a new input. To
enter the same value again (e.g. the same Job number), just change the counter. This type
makes Intel Endian character string follows the byte order; the integer counter is the lowest
byte in the String. Only shown in Intel Endian
It contains several octet data in the byte order.
LongCharStringChange
(LCSC)
It contains max 100 bytes character.
LongCharStrChIntel (LCSCI)
In Intel mode, only allows whole word, up to 100 bytes. Only shown in Intel Endian.
Common for all data types is that a change must occur in PLC output area (To PF) to get
Power Focus to detect a new data entry. For example, if selecting JOB number 3 two times in
a row please select 0 in between.
Character string
Character String is in a reading order, i.e. from left to right, from top to bottom, regardless of the byte
order. The difference between CharStringChange and CharStringInput is a counter byte added before
character string in CharStringInput. A new input is considered when the counter changes.
