Export

The configuration parameters of each variable are:

  • Variable: Identifier of the variable that we are going to export by Modbus.
  • Type of value: Read only, shows the value type of the existing variable in adquio.
  • Supports writing: Indicates whether it is allowed to change the value of the variable through Modbus.
  • Out of service: is the value that will be saved in the Modbus memory area when the variable in adquio is out of service.
  • Converters: The converters allow conversions of data type or value of the variable before putting it available in Modbus. For more information, see Devices.
  • Modbus memory: Indicates the memory area where the variable will be colored. Possible values: 'coil', 'discrete_input', 'holding_register' and input_register'.
  • Address: Address of Modbus The format is: <address>.<Bit in the direction>. The bit should only be indicated in variables bool, uint8 or int8. Can be specified in hexadecimal starting the value with 0x. Examples of values:2, 0x20, 2.13, 0x0f.b, ...

Editing the JSON (Advanced Mode)

If the JSON edition is activated, you can edit at low level in your JSON representation.

In addition to editing the devices more advanced, this option can be used to make copies of the configuration to create an equal device in it or in another adquio.

Changes in the text are interpreted and try to refresh on the form as long as they are valid. Changes in the form are also transmuted in the JSON representation in real time.
