Need help with tags from PAC4200 (modbus TCP)

Ignition
1

Similar problem described (with Siemens PAC3200 power monitor) here:
inductiveautomation.com/forum/v … 97b#p35869

I have PAC4200 configured in gateway (says that the device is connected).
Tried different ways, but all I get is a tag with unknown quality and NULL value.
Can someone give advice how to read tags from PAC4200 using Modbus TCP driver?

Thank you!
Anatoly

Did you ever find a solution? I have the same exact problem that you had.

Thanks!

EDIT:

Never mind, I was able to get it communicating. I had to address the last register number of each register that I wanted to read from.

I also have the problem. Can you clarify your solution?

If you have a map of the registers you need to subscribe to you can follow the videos on Inductive University linked here
inductiveuniversity.com/video/a … /?q=modbus

You can also reference the user manual, here

I am using some PAC3200 with the Ignition OPC-UA server without problems. There is a little trick with the modbus address, you have to set a device address unlike 0

[PAC3200]1.HRF65 Offset 65 is the current active power in the 3200 (should be the same in the 4200 according to the manual).

There are two weak points of the Ignition Modbus UA Server:

  • missing support for 64bit values (4 consecutive Modbus registers)
  • no ‘write only’ mode. The PAC errors out when the Modbus client tries to read one of the write only registers.

I made a UDT that handles this points in python scripts.
