Option 2.1. Read Data

About this task

You can read data from valid data areas. Valid data areas are determined by the programmable controller type. The format for entering a data address is the same one you use when you configure points for a CIMPLICITY project.

To read data from the targeted programmable controller:

Procedure

  1. Enter the address of the data in the Data address field to the left of the Read button. This activates the Read button
  2. Click Read.

    If the read request completes successfully, the data appears in the Data value field and the status message field says the read was successful. All channel data is displayed in hexadecimal. Timer and Count completion status are displayed as 1 or 0.

    If the read request fails, an error message is displayed in the status message field.
