Hello,
I would like to be able to share the x position of a register position in Ethernet / IP using Group variables and not explicit messaging.
Because the explicit messaging is very long to configure on the Schneider PLCs.
But a group is 16 bits maximum, I need more bits than that to share the position X of a register. Does anyone have an idea of a solution?
Help with Position Register and Group IO

You can always roll your own communication protocol, using multiple GO's and GI's and a simple translation program to parse them together. Something as simple as two digits per group, and having 4 groups, two before and two after, would give you as much as 9999.9999 in magnitude and precision. Maybe add a plain DO/DI signal for sign?
Assuming that stuffing a decimal into a digital group truncates rather than rounding, this should be pretty simple operations.
