c) There are multiple ways to map the NetBmpStat.
Option 1: Map the whole 32bit value to a destination. Example below shows the
NetBmpStat is going to an Analog BACnet object. Using a connection of 5 Modbus Slave
devices AI1 will show a value of 31.0000. Open a calculator with programmer mode and
type in 31, this will represent bits 0 – 4 are on. This mean all 5 devices are connected
and running.
If using an AB PLC with a Tag defined as a Dint, then expand the tag within your RSlogix
software to expose the bit level and define each bit as a description such as device1,
device2, etc.
Option 2: You can extract individual bits from the NetBmpStat by using the Set Bit
Manipulation and map those to a destination. You'll need a mapping for each device you
want to monitor. Example below shows Modbus device 2 (out of 5) is being monitor to a
BACnet Binary Object. You can define the object in the BACnet Name configuration.
