@mikeyh said in Announcement of a new pre-release Version 3:
Has how the way Modbus arrays work changed in V3?
I can no longer seem to get arrays to work. Read a large group of registers, then use passive items to read from the array.
I see the new option of array in the item setup, but I keep getting a naming issue.


Cheers

Hi Mike,
you are right - the flag "As array" is new. The documentation says: As Array (V) – The values are transmitted to the REXYGEN algorithm in the form of an array. If multiple values are involved, a From block is utilized to connect the array signal from the driver, along with one or more VTOR blocks.
The use case behind this is that you will read a large group of registers, sign it as "As array" and within the task you use just one From flag and decompose it manually.
Another approach is to decompose the group of registers by passive items and use From / INQUAD / INOCT / INHEXD blocks in your task.
What naming issue are you getting?
Cheers,
Tomas
