9.3 Transmit process values
9.3.1 Transmit process values of the completeness monitoring via EtherNet/IP
The device can transmit the process values to a PLC via the EtherNet/IP fieldbus. The process values are
displayed in the ifm Vision Assistant as output string as below:
Only one fieldbus can be active at a time. The fieldbus is adjustable (→ software manual).
In the output string the process values are separated by a semicolon. The output string is transferred to a
PLC in the displayed sequence.
Observe the following remarks for the transmission of the output string to a PLC:
● Bytes 0 to 7 are part of the output string. They are not displayed in the ifm Vision Assistant (see
screenshot above).
● Semicolons ";" in the output string are not transferred.
● Float values are converted into 16-bit integers before the transmission.
● All numerical values are converted into 16-bit integers before the transmission.
The output string is composed of the following:
star;0;00;0;+0.000;01;7;-0.068;02;6;+0.013;03;0;+0.001;stop
