  • Page 61: Appendix A: Database Endianness

    14. Appendix A: Database Endianness A key feature of the Millennium Series gateways is the ability to change the byte order storage scheme for data in the database between big endian and little endian. The database endianness is the convention used to store multi-byte data to or retrieve multi-byte data from the database.
  • Page 62 Similarly, data is retrieved from the database starting at the low address. The endianness decides whether the first byte is interpreted as the least-significant byte or the most-significant byte of the multi-byte number. Here are some examples that demonstrate this. Figure 36 shows how the hex value 0x12345678 is retrieved from the database using a big endian byte order.

  • Page 63: Modbus - Profibus Example

    simply stored into the database in the order they were received. Gateway endianness selection therefore has no effect on data storage or retrieval with a “bag of bytes” protocol driver. The other method is that used by networks that exchange data by means of an “object value”...

  • Page 64: Modbus - Devicenet Example

    In contrast, Figure 39 shows the effects of configuring the database for little- endian byte order. Holding registers 1 and 2 again have values of 0x1234 and 0x5678, respectively. However, when the PROFIBUS device receiving the input data from the gateway interprets these values, the resulting pairs of 2-byte values become 0x3412 and 0x7856, thus receiving incorrect values for holding registers 1 and 2.

  • Page 65: Bacnet - Devicenet Example

    Figure 40: Modbus - DeviceNet Little Endian In contrast, Figure 41 shows the effects of configuring the database for big- endian byte order. Holding registers 1 and 2 again have values of 0x1234 and 0x5678, respectively. However, when the DeviceNet device receiving the input data from the gateway interprets these values, the resulting pairs of 2-byte values become 0x3412 and 0x7856, thus receiving incorrect values for holding registers 1 and 2.
  • Page 66 reads analog value 0 from the BACnet network, stores the data into the database, and sends the input data onto the DeviceNet network. Figure 42 demonstrates the data flow from the BACnet network to the DeviceNet network through a gateway configured to use a little endian database. Because the DeviceNet specification defines multi-byte values within the byte array to be interpreted as little endian, it is recommended that the database be configured for little-endian byte order when using DeviceNet.

  • Page 67: Bacnet - Modbus Analog Element Example

    Figure 43: BACnet - DeviceNet Big Endian 14.4 BACnet - Modbus Analog Element Example This example exhibits two networks that both use an object value scheme to exchange data. In this scenario, the database endianness is irrelevant if the data types are the same for both networks.

  • Page 68: Bacnet - Modbus Binary Element Example

    Figure 45: BACnet - Modbus (Analog Objects & Registers) Little Endian 14.5 BACnet - Modbus Binary Element Example This example also contains two networks that both employ an object value method for exchanging data, but unlike the previous example, the database endianness does affect the end-to-end alignment of the data.
  • Page 69 Figure 46: BACnet - Modbus (Binary Objects & Discretes) Little Endian However, when the database is configured for a big-endian byte order, binary values 1…8 correspond to coils 9…16, binary values 9…16 correspond to coils 1…8, and so on. This can be seen in Figure 47. Since the most significant bytes of the Modbus registers that the coils map to are now mapped to lower addresses, the alignment between the two networks’...
