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.

Step 3: Configure the List of Registers
When you Add Tags﻿ 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
﻿Tag Formula Variables﻿﻿
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.

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 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).
