Hi fellas... Thanks to Ken Moore, Bob Foot and Shanen here, I managed to communicate a ML1100 as Modbus master to read in data from energy-meters, which store parameters like KwH, KVAR, etc in their registers as a pair of 16-bit integers, so that a SCADA client could poll them as real numbers with decimal points. As many of you all know, the way one reads a real number stored at the register pair %MW90-MW91, would be to read the data as a Modbus item "40092 F". For example, in Excel one would have to write <=MODBUS|Topic_name! 400092 F> the F being the specifier for floating point data. To my chagrin I found that ML1100 does not read in floating point numbers. The registers in the energy meters are all 2 consecutive 16 bit integers. How does one go about displaying these register pairs as floating point numbers in Excel??. I would really, really appreciate anybody helping me out with this. There has to be a way around. Regards, best wishes Raj S. Iyer
