CCW: Reading the Serial Number of a Micro800 controller programmatically

Question
Can you programmatically read the Serial Number of a Micro800 controller?

Environment
Connected Components Workbench (CCW)
Micro800 controllers

Answer
Yes, by reading the CIP Identity Object of the controller with a MSG_CIPGENERIC instruction with Path to itself.

Note: The serial number that is read from the Identity Object is not the serial number on the controller label. It is
the same Serial Number that you would see in RSLinx Classic under Device Properties when displayed in
hexadecimal format.

Use the sample code shown below:

Use the following Initial Values:

Variable Name Initial Value


SN_CIPControlCfg.Cancel FALSE
SN_CIPControlCfg.TriggerType 0
SN_CIPAppCfg.Service 14
SN_CIPAppCfg.Class 01

Help & Feedback


SN_CIPAppCfg.Instance 01
SN_CIPAppCfg.Attribute 06
SN_CIPTargetCfg.Path '0,0'
SN_CIPTargetCfg.CipConnMode 0
SN_CIPTargetCfg.UcmmTimeout 0
SN_CIPTargetCfg.ConnMsgTimeout 0
SN_CIPTargetCfg.ConnClose FALSE

SN_ResData contains the serial number broken into 4 USINT values. To match the Serial Number that is shown
in the Device Properties in RSLinx Classic it is necessary to reverse the order of the array and configure CCW to
show variables in hexadecimal format.

To configure the formatting preferences in CCW, select Tools-->Options…-->Projects-->Online and select
HexaDecimal from the Integer dropdown within the Numerical Display section.

For additional information refer to Chapter 3: Use CIP Generic Client Messaging of Micro800 Programmable
Controllers: Getting Started with CIP Client Messaging, publication 2080-QS002B.

The CIP Identity Object is documented in the same publication, in Appendix D CIP Objects of Micro800
Programmable Controllers: Getting Started with CIP Client Messaging, publication 2080-QS002B.
