The COP statement for this type of data is the same as shown in Read Multiple
Floating-Point Registers (page 73).
Write to Enron/Daniel Floats
To issue a Write command to Enron/Daniel Floats, use the Float Flag and Float
Start parameters within the ModDef controller tags.
The following table describes the addresses that will be written to by the module.
Configure the Float Start and Float Flag parameters as shown.
The Float Flag causes the module to use the Float Start parameter to determine
which MB Address in Device requires a write command to issue double the
number of bytes.
With the above configuration, any MB Address in Device > 7000 is known to be
floating-point data. Therefore, a count of 1 will send 4 bytes of data, instead of
the normal 2 bytes of data to a non Enron/Daniel floating-point register.
1 First, copy the floating-point data from the ControlLogix processor into the
MCMR.DATA.WRITEDATA array used by the MVI56E-MCMR module. Below
is an example.
