I need to integrate an ION 7400 into a BMS, but all the registers are in float32 format. After reviewing the register options, I couldn't find any type that is float32; all the registers are in integer format. What solution can I have to be able to monitor the parameters?
Register ION7400
Current A | 3000 | 2 | FLOAT32 | A |
Current B | 3002 | 2 | FLOAT32 | A |
Current C | 3004 | 2 | FLOAT32 | A |
Current N | 3006 | 2 | FLOAT32 | A |
SBO 1.9 BMS
thank you!!

The "32 bit real" option is a floating point value, though you may also test the "32 bit real swapped" as register order is often poorly documented.

Another option you have available depending on the number of registers you require to monitor via the BMS, is to add additional registers using the desired format you want the data in.
You could do this by using ION Setup and selecting the Modified map option via the Modbus Slave setup assistant wizard. This will allow you to add a few desired parameters to a range of Modbus registers which can be any of the Modbus formats (like UINT16 or UINT32, etc.)
