IO Scanning - Modbus TCP - Inputs Array Type

[vincejmartans.com]

I am inserting a new Modbus TCP device and adding a request of RD adress = 1000 and Length = 4

In the Variables List I am getting a corresponding Inputs Free0 array [0..3] of BYTE.

How can I change that to an Inputs Free0 array [0..1] of INT?

Hello,

Your screenshot are from Control Expert, not EAE ;-).

To answer, in the CE DTM select your 4 bytes to redefine them (manually) in Array of 2 words (or INT).

Thanks for the reply.

Note that the variable has the lock symbol.

I tried a double click on the Type field, but I do get the dropdown to select the Type nor it does allow me to write anything in there.

In Request Items, press on define, select your BYTEs to redefine them in INT and ARRAY like this:

 

After the redefinition, you obtain this:
