Variable Types
■
The iKAN series device allows data related to items such as the Ethernet configuration, the RTC
value, and other information, to be inserted into a message as a system variable.
The format for using a system variable in a message has a length of 5 bytes, as follows:
1
Delimiter
Variable Type
Character
y: System variable
b: Coil
%
u: Unsigned integer (0 to 65535)
i: Signed integer (-32768 to 32767)
f: Float (-3.4E+38 to +3.4E+38)
The valid range for each type of variable is:
