GE Ethernet Absolute

review the following information for setting up and configuring the ge ethernet absolute driver litmus edge compatible series compatibility parameter compatible items driver type ethernet validated devices/series ge pacsystems rx3i replaces gen 1 driver(s) ge fanuc rx3i ethernet (gen1) to set up and configure this device in litmus edge, you will need to do the following step 1 set up and configure the plc device step 2 set up the plc device in litmus edge devicehub step 3 configure the list of registers step 1 set up and configure the plc device if the device is configured for ethernet access, find its network parameters note the ip address and ensure the ethernet global data (egd) port is configured (default port is 18245) step 2 set up the plc device in litmus edge devicehub configure the following parameters when you connect a device with this driver update default values to the specific setup of your device parameter value type ge fanuc driver ge ethernet absolute network address the ip address you recorded in step 1 port 18245 slot number 0 read timeout 3000 (ms) step 3 configure the list of registers when you docid\ tuy hh0gi8djvot70wroh to the connected device, refer to the following register table and tag parameters refer to the following additional resources docid\ mu 6j6zhi0cvchdad0w8n docid\ io7xgyrdvv vmpnfxoaci register table name value types address format min address max address access type description i bit ddddd 1 32768 r/o input q bit ddddd 1 32768 r/w output m bit ddddd 1 32768 r/w internal s bit ddd 1 128 r/o system sa bit ddd 1 128 r/w system a sb bit ddd 1 128 r/w system b sc bit ddd 1 128 r/w system c t bit dddd 1 1024 r/w g bit dddd 1 7680 r/w genius global ai word, int16 ddddd 1 32640 r/o analog input aq word, int16 ddddd 1 32640 r/w analog output r word, int16 ddddd 1 32640 r/w register w word, int16 ddddd 1 32640 r/w tag parameters name select a register name from the drop down list the available options depend on the names in the register table value type select a data type from the drop down list the available options depend on the register name selected polling interval enter a value in seconds this determines how often the tag should poll the register for data tag name enter a name for the tag description (optional) enter a description for the tag address enter a tag address the value must be in decimal format, within the allowed min/max range omit the leading zeros the lowercase letters in the address format indicate how many digits you should enter in the address count enter the number of register values to read a count higher than 1 will generate an array of values from the address value configured and respective subsequent address values tag formula enter a formula for the tag to process the generated data two variables are permitted value (current tag value) and timestamp (current tag unix time in milliseconds) the following math functions are available sin cos sqrt tan power power ( x ) performs the operation 10^x log log ( x ) is the natural logarithm (the logarithm is in base e ) exp exp ( x ) performs the operation e^x only publish on change of value select the checkbox to customize nats messages to be published only when the value parameter changes to a new one change of value only applies to boolean, numeric (such as int or float), and simple string data types it does not apply to complex types, such as json or array poll once topics will not be affected by change of value settings these topics will still only see a single message meta data metadata summarizes basic information about data this feature allows you to define key value pair data for the device output payload later on it can then be used to find, use, and reuse particular instances of data note if you use special characters in meta data key names, the special characters are replaced with underscore characters in the payload this can cause two key names to be combined into one for example, configuring the key names a b and a&\&b will cause only one key name to be created (a b)
