LSIS FEnet Introduction

Canvas supports LSIS FEnet as a way to connect with other devices that support this protocol. Users can select an LSIS PLC Type within the settings to suit specific configurations.

  • General Format: %[Device Name][Data Type][Address Number]
    • Data TypeSymbol# of Bits
      BITX1
      BYTEB8
      WORDW16
      DWORDD32
      QWORDL64
      • This is also true for I/Q and U device formats.
    • Address Number: denoted in the specified data type.
      • Example: if B is used, Address Number 5 represents the 6th byte in the memory area (0-based index).
      • Example: if L is used, Address Number 16 represents the 17th QWORD in the memory area (0-based index).
      • Example: the address %MB016 represents the 17th byte of the M memory area. This same starting address is pointed to using %MX128, %MW008, %MD004, or %ML002.
        • Gateway will automatically convert the provided address into BYTE notation, unless it was specified by BIT notation. This is done to allow for continuous memory blocks to be read in a single request.
  • I/Q Device Format: %[Device Name][Data Type][Base Number].[Slot Number].[Module Number]
    • Base Number: Range of 0 ~ 127, represented in decimal notation.
    • Slot Number: Range of 0 ~ 15, represented in decimal notation.
    • Module Number: similar to Address Number in the generic format, where it is in the form of the Data Type.
  • U Device Format: %[Device Name][Data Type][Base Number].[Slot Number].[Channel Number]
    • Base Number: Range of 0 ~ 7, represented in decimal notation.
    • Slot Number: Range of 0 ~ 15, represented in decimal notation.
    • Channel Number: similar to Address Number in the generic format, where it is in the form of the Data Type.

  • General Format: [Device Name][Address Number]
    • For devices that support both bit and WORD formats, the difference is the inclusion of a bit number (in Hexadecimal notation) as the last character in the address.
      • If the device only supports bit addressing, then this bit number is not used (T and C devices).
  • U Device Format: [Device Name][Base Number].[Slot Number].[Special Module Inner WORD Number]
    • Base Number: Range of 0 ~ 7, represented in decimal notation.
    • Slot Number: Range of 0 ~ F, represented in Hexadecimal notation.
    • Special Module Inner WORD Number: Range of 0 ~ 31, represented in decimal notation.
