• Modbus TCP
Selecting this parameter from the Numeric Data menu will bring up the Numeric
Data Entry screen that will allow you to enter the desired Word Order value.
This should be done after selecting the correct protocol (see above). Valid
values are 0 to 4095 (0xFFF).
Note that this parameter can also be changed via communications, using the
data map. For additional assistance contact the Merrick Customer Support
department or see our website www.merrick-inc.com/mct
Integer/Frac FP
The Integer/Fraction bits are used when the device using the data (i.e. the PLC)
does not support floating-point numbers. With the corresponding Word Order bit
cleared, the first word will carry the Integer part, and the second the fractional
part, multiplied with 10000. (4 implied decimal places). Note that for a negative
value, both the integer and fractional parts are negative.
This parameter is valid and will appear in the Numeric Data menu only if one of
the following protocols is selected:
• ScaleNet
• DF1
• Modbus RTU
• Modbus ASCII
• Modbus TCP
Selecting this parameter from the Numeric Data menu will bring up the Numeric
Data Entry screen that will allow you to enter the desired Integer/Frac FP value.
This should be done after selecting the correct protocol (see above). Valid
values are 0 to 4095 (0xFFF).
Note that this parameter can also be changed via communications, using the
data map.

Register Tag 1
This is a register location (i.e. register number) in the GCM to be tagged for
reading and/or writing. Registers are memory locations containing various data;
almost any parameter in the GCM can be accessed by tagging it. Up to 5
registers can be accessed in this manner, through the small data map (CIT).
The large data map exposes more data but in a different manner.
This parameter is valid and will appear in the Numeric Data menu only if one of
the following protocols is selected:
• ScaleNet
• DF1
