Modbus Integration (BO - subsystem-specific extension)

The Binary Output (BO) object supports following properties of the subsystem-specific extension Integration.

✳ Indicates a Siemens proprietary property.

Data type ✳

 

 

Data type defines the data type for encoding the subsystem-specific data type.

16 bit integer data formats with Registers:

Encoding format

Description

Byte order

U16-B
U16-L

unsigned 16-bit; big-endian
unsigned 16-bit; little-endian

bb aa
aa bb

Bit-Offset

 

 

"Bit-Offset" defines an offset in reading bitset of data (Coils, Discrete Inputs). This allows to support mass manipulation/correction of data point addresses.

100

 

Heartbeat timers

 

 

"Heartbeat timers" defines the heartbeat timer to be used to update the subsystem-specific data point if there is no change of "Present value" for a longer time.

The interval values for H1, H2 can be configured in the Fieldbus-Management-Object.
Heartbeat timers are independent from COV triggered updates.
Heartbeat timers and Polling timers are independent from each other.

None

No updates of the subsystem-specific data point.

H1

Highest priority. Typical interval value: 5s…60s.

H2

Low priority. Typical interval value: minutes ... hours.

Min repetition time

 

 

"Min repetition time" defines the minimum wait time between two consecutive updates of the Modbus data point.

"Min repetition time" is used to limit the network traffic in case of excessive changes of "Present value".

"Min repetition time" may be zero to allow fast updates of MODBUS data points.
