The data type of the channel determines:
The determination of a channel's data type is simple: the Source Net Address (SNA) determines the point and the data type of that point automatically becomes the raw data type of the channel. Therefore, changing the SNA or the transformation option of a channel may change the type.
SNA | Description | Data Type | Raw Type |
---|---|---|---|
0*module*point | Physical Input Point | Boolean or uint16 | |
1*...*0xxxx | Remote Discrete Output | Boolean | Discrete |
1*...*1xxxx | Remote Discrete Input | Boolean | Discrete |
1*...*3xxxx | Remote Analog Input | uint16 | Integer |
1*...*4xxxx | Remote Analog Output | uint16 | Integer |
1*...*5xxxx | Remote Analog Output | floating point | IEEE32 |
Note: Catalyst only supports module=1 and point=1--4 |
