Abstract
The following are the data types within the database:
Digital Flag Bits : Also known as Boolean bits, status bits and
command bits. All data points of this type can
be read via Modbus function code 01 and
written to using function codes 05 and 0F .
Function codes 01 and 0F transfer byte
packed data that is sent in the byte order they
are prepared (not word order). Points are
packed eight to a byte, packing from least
significant to most significant Unused bit
positions within a byte are cleared on
transmission from the Omni and ignored by
the Omni when receiving.
Writing to status points is allowed but
normally is pointless as the status point will be
refreshed by the Omni every 500 ms.
Valid addresses for this type of data are:
1XXX i.e. 1101, 1705, 1921 etc.
16-bit Integer Registers : All data points of this type can be read via
Modbus function code 03 and written to using
function codes 06 and 10.
Byte order transmitted is: MS byte then LS
byte.
X3XXX i.e. 3121, 13133 etc.
8-character ASCII Strings : All data points of this type can be read via
function code 10 (note that function code 06 is
not available on this data type).
Byte order transmitted is as you would type it.
4XXX i.e. 4101, 4502 etc.
32-bit Integer Registers : Formatted as two’s complement. All data

points of this type can be read via Modbus
function 03 and written to using function
codes 06 and 10.
Byte order transmitted is: MS byte of MS
word, LS byte of MS word, MS byte of LS
word then LS byte of LS word.
Valid addresses for this data type are: X5XXX
i.e. 5101, 15205 etc.

32-bit IEEE Floating Point : All data points of this type can be read via
Modbus function 03 and written to using
function codes 06 and 10.
Byte order transmitted is: Mantissa Sign
bit/Exponent byte, LS Exponent bit/MS
mantissa byte, middle significant mantissa
byte then LS mantissa byte.
Valid addresses for this data type are: X7XXX
i.e. 7210, 17006 etc.
16-character ASCII Strings : All data points of this type can be read via
function code 10 (note that function code 06 is
not available for this data type).
Byte order transmitted is as you would type it.
14XXX i.e. 14001, 14022 etc.

I/O Driver Concerns When Interfacing to Omni

Equipment
Most but not all of the data is grouped in blocks of 100 or so data points. These
blocks in many cases are not connected.
Limit requests for contiguous data across different blocks by examining the third
digit from the right of the data point start and end addresses. If the digit is
different break up the poll request.
For Example:
An application requires data from points 7188, 7201 and 7210 to be read and
displayed on screen. An intelligent I/O driver may determine that it is more
efficient to read 23 data points starting with point 7188 and discard the unused
data. In this particular example the Omni will transmit the data for points 7188
through 7199 and blank data will be returned for data points 7200 through 7210
because the data requested is in two different blocks within the Omni. To obtain
the data correctly the I/O driver should determine that point 7188 and point 7201
are in different data blocks (because the third digit from the right changed from a
1 to a 2) and send out two data requests; one request for point 7188 and
another for points 7201 through 7210.
Write Single Variable - Modbus Function 06

Omni software revisions 20.44 and greater implement this function on all 16-bit
and 32-bit data points. Revisions prior to 20.44 implement function 06 on 16-bit
integers only. To maintain compatibility with early Omni software revisions it
may be advisable to use function 10 to write to single data points as well as
multiple data points.
Address Ranges - Future Expansion

Some of the address ranges specified in this document encompass more data
than may be available on all applications at this time, Omni advises that for
future compatibility any software driver developed should be able to support
these address ranges.
