You may be off by one address (Ignition uses 1-based addressing by default) or need to Swap Words in Ignition (don’t know what the default in the test software you’re using is).

Wireshark makes comparing the read requests from Ignition and any other test software to spot the difference very easy.

Hello Kevin,

I Think Im using the correct way\*\*(Zero-based Addressing true)\*\* because im reading the correct values about anothers registers from the same Device, I’m reading 12 correct values. The “bad” values there are the same data type, U32(Unsigned) or S32(Signed). I did a lor of tests and it didnt work with any modbus type over Ignition.

I’m without more ideas…

Kevin mentioned the Swap Words setting as a possibility, too. Did you try that?

It’s on the settings page for that device on the Ignition Gateway.

I found it, it’s the “reverse word order” field, I changed to true and its works fine now…

Thanks for your help guys !!!
