Mapping DeltaV data to Modbus coils and input status

Modbus coils and input status values are both single-bit values and are treated the same for data mapping purposes by the Serial Card.

Table: Mapping DeltaV Data Types to Coil and Input Status Data

DeltaV Data Type

Mapping Method

Boolean

The card maps each DeltaV Boolean value directly to a single Modbus coil or input status value with no data conversion.

Discrete, signed integer, unsigned integer, and floating point

The card sets the coil or input status to a value of 0 if the DeltaV value is 0 and to 1 if the DeltaV value is anything other than 0.

String

Not supported.
