This document describes the interface between the Coalscan and the plant SCADA interface.

Coalscan Configuration (TCP/IP or Serial)

TCP/IP
The Coalscan is configured to act as the ModBus TCP-IP server. Data is requested by the SCADA
system (for example, SuperScan) over a TCP-IP network connection. The interface uses Windows
Sockets where port 502 is used to request a connection (as per the ModBus standard).
Serial
This selection enables the ModBus serial (RS-232 or RS422) module.

Data Access
Coalscan data is made available as register data which can be interpreted as 16 bit unsigned values or
32 bit floating point data. Floating point numbers use two registers and all values are stored in “Big
Endian” format (This is a ModBus requirement, other PLC protocols may be different).
Data is made available in blocks and these blocks can be read in part or in full. Multiple blocks can
not be read using a single read command. Some blocks are broken in sub-blocks of integer and
floating point values. The sub-blocks must be read individually. Empty rows separate blocks
which cannot be read together.

Note : Ranges given in table below are typical and will vary between material type and location
Note : Results available will vary depending on application
