3. Advanced Point Bridge Enterprise Server Configuration

Point bridge and Enterprise Server optionally support data coercion.  By default, the point types must be the same on the source and destination.

Data coercion between points of the following types is supported provided that the data value is within the range of both the source and destination:

  • SINT
  • INT
  • DINT
  • QINT
  • USINT
  • UINT
  • UDINT
  • UQINT
  • REAL
  • BOOL

For Point Bridge, the Global name is <PORT>_ALLOW_COERCE

A value of Y or T enables the feature. The default value is N

For Enterprise Server, the name is ES_ALLOW_COERCE

A value of Y or T enables the feature. The default value is N
