review the following information for setting up and configuring the keyence nano ethernet (gen1) driver litmus edge compatible series compatibility parameter compatible items driver type ethernet validated devices/series keyence kv 5000 keyence kv 7500 keyence kv 8000 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 otherwise, follow the steps below to configure your device note down the following information and refer to it when needed device keyence nano ethernet communication i/f ethernet refer to the following figures launch the kv studio software, and then click tools > ethernet ip settings set up the ip address step 2 set up the plc device in litmus edge devicehub use the following parameters/values when you connect a device docid\ ish7bqhzxswtdx8vbnszb with this driver parameter value type keyence driver keyence nano ethernet (gen1) network address the device address you defined in step 1 port 8501 enable alias topics enabled enable data store enabled step 3 configure the list of registers when you add tags docid 8se7z3pmrfwl1nmzcwalx to the connected device, refer to the following register table and tag parameters refer to the following additional resources organize device and tag data by using metadata docid 583p fbuozem6whgrdgkq tag formula variables docid\ ifbwcou90qtfodk hrysr important when you enter a count greater than 1 for 32 and 64 bit types, the driver will skip the appropriate addresses, so it doesn’t read the overlapping addresses for example, if you enter a count of 4 for address dm0, the following addresses will be read based on the data type size 16 bit dm0, dm1, dm2, dm3 32 bit dm0, dm2, dm4, dm6 64 bit dm0, dm4, dm8, dm12 for the string data type, you will need to set the count as the number of characters to read there are 2 ascii characters per 16 bit register, so if you enter a count of 10 and address dm0, then the driver should read dm0 4 and print 10 characters (or less, if the registers are null) if you write a string with fewer characters than the count of the tag, the string will be right padded with null characters that will overwrite any values in those registers register table name value types address format min address max address description mr bit r/w dddddd 0 399915 internal auxiliary relay lr

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 in the decimal format, within the allowed min/max range omit the leading zeros the device might use the decimal (d), hexadecimal (h), or octal (o) address format see the register table at the bottom of the dialog box for bit tags, append the bit address without the bit separator the lowercase letters in the address format indicate how many digits you should enter in the bit address 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 from a previous value 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)
