Is that the IEEE single-precision floating-point representation?
I don't have Micro-I/A (fortunately :), but I've done this using FBM224s
and RIN (real input) blocks. Though the Modbus spec doesn't officially
define a floating-point representation, most Modbus slaves "overload" the
protocol by using 2 consecutive 16-bit registers to represent a float in
the IEEE format. The trick is getting the register order/swapping right,
as it is seemingly different for every slave device, but the FBM224
provides a lot of flexibility in doing this. Hopefully you can do the
same using the Micro-I/A and FRIN (?) blocks.

[foxboro] IEEE 754 conversion
Hello List?.
I?m trying to make a logic for converting iee-754 numbers from slave
Modbus device to
micro I/A, using FMCIN + IND blocks, but it?s not working.
Have you ever tried this situation? If yes, could you send me some hints?
Thanks in advance?.
Regards,
Elidio Diniz
