Modbus data L M H

What is L M H in the attached modbus screen short.
How to compute the value

 

[KlausST]

Hi,

3 bytes of a 24 bit value.
L = low byte
M = mid byte
H = high byte

Can you please help me how to compute the 3 bytes of data to convert into 24 bit value

 

[BradtheRad]

Byte means 8 bits?

1) Dimension 24-bit variables.
2) Start with Most Significant Byte. Left-shift 16 times. This puts zeroes in rightmost 16 columns.
3) Take middle byte. Left-shift 8 times. This puts zeroes in rightmost 8 columns.
4) No need to alter Least Significant Byte.
5) Now add all three together.

You can calculate using the following formula: H * 0x1000 + M * 0x100 + L

Yes, you could, but the result would be wrong.

I did not expect the OP (as a long term member) to ask this basic question.
It has been discussed with formulae, with mathematics, with code examples for decades and many million times. ... in basic coding documents.
Thus I´m not sure what to answer.

I mean bitwise it is:
* H-Byte: HHHHHHHH
* M-Byte: MMMMMMMM
* L-Byte: LLLLLLLL
so in total: HHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMLLLLLLLL

It hasn't been mentioned which numbers are handled by the MODBUS library, I guess at least 16-Bit quantities (registers) possibly even 32-Bit (double register).

Code C - [expand]
1
encoderval = reg_read(0x4202) + (uint32)(reg_read(0x4203) & 0xff) << 16;

The documentation states that H M L are bytes (0-255), so my formula will work without any problem with these conditions.

You have a typo.

I don´t think so:

LLLLLLLL          = 0000000000000000LLLLLLLL
MMMMMMMM x 0x0100 = 00000000MMMMMMMM00000000
HHHHHHHH x 0x1000 = 0000HHHHHHHH000000000000
                    ========================
Added:            = 000?????????MMMMLLLLLLLL

@KlausST Yes, you are right. There is a typo in my formula. Unfortunately, I cannot edit that message. The correct formula is:
H * 0x10000 + M * 0x100 + L

 

[KlausST]

makes more sense now.

Still unclear what the OP is after.
Code? (Which language, which IDE, wich microcontroller)
Explanation --> should already be given
Math --> given
Sth else? --> don´t know
