wonderware ASCII as String display in Wonderware Intouch

[Vaitheeswaran Elango]

Hello,

               I am Vaitheeswaran. I have an issue regarding displaying String in Intouch wonderware so i need support for Wonderware Intouch. I am using SCADAPack 357 Controller and I interfaced it with GPS and receive the Position data(Latitude and Longitude). I took NMEA protocol GLL data Packet for receiving the position data, it’s data format will be like”$GPGLL,0951.300,N,07801.637,E,………*41” I just need position data so I had mentioned those two. I had split them into Degree(09°), Minute(51.300) and whole data(0951.300,N) and I interface it with Wonderware Intouch via modbus address(Refer the attached image Modbus Address). The yellow highlighted variable marks are used in the Intouch. I had called Latitude data variables as DEG1, MIN1 and Latitude, and the Longitude as DEG2, MIN2, Longitude. But instead of showing the String the Intouch shows the values as in float as 818.00000000, 1586.00000000, 1074.00000000(Refer IntouchWonderware Image). Please provide a solution how can we get the ascii string in Wonderware Intouch.

 

Thanks and Regards,
