CIU 888 H - 50
H.18 Supported Modbus Data types
Modbus Data types are not standard. Based on the analysis of the
Modbus field devices, the following Modbus data types would be
supported in CIU.
<CustomValueMap>
<CustomValue>
<CIUMapDetail>
<CIUParameterStartBitIndex>
<CustomValueMap>
<CustomValue>
<CIUMapDetail>
<CIUParameterEndBitIndex>
This value indicates the
portion in the CIU parameter
where the device value needs
to be copied.
For example, if the device
value needs to copied to Bits
12 to Bit 8 after value mapping
is done then it BitM = 8 and
BitN = 12
If the the device value (after
value mapping) needs to
completely replace CIU
parameter value then this tag
shall be empty.
Any value as per
