Can someone please help me.
I have to read in 4 registers for the value that is going into the digitalpanelmeter.
the value is hexadecimal and right justified with 2 decimal places.
It is for reading an ABB energy meter.
I can do it with BB Comtest pro but cant figure it out in Advanced HMI as I always get a 0 value.
The read address is 0x5000 (20480) so I put 420480 in the PLC Address field and 4 in resolution but no joy.
The meter registers (420480 = 0x0000, 420481 = 0x0000, 420482 = 0x0003, 42083 = 0xFF57) = 2619.75 KwHrs (Decimal)
Please see attachment for data description.

Try putting an L in front of the address:
L420480

Thank You Archie
That helped heaps is there a list of modifiers or is the L the only one?
I purchased the extra packs and noticed that there was a larger LED Display that will be able to display the 4 integer long return value when it grows.
Thanks again
Great.

The L is the only modifier for the Modbus driver. Everything else uses the basic functions based on the first digit of the address.
