    92 icc 11. Appendix a: database endianness a key feature of the millennium series gateways is the ability to change the byte order storage scheme for data in the database between big endian and little endian. The database endianness is the convention used to store multi-byte data to or retrieve mult...

    93 icc this example shows how the hex value 12345678 is retrieved from the database using a big endian byte order. Since the hex value 12 is at address “a”, the lowest address, it is the most significant byte. This other example shows how the hex value 12345678 is retrieved from the database using a...

    94 icc the selection of the correct byte ordering is crucial for coherent interaction between these two types of networks on the gateway. The following presents examples of how the database endianness affects end-to-end communication between networks and when each byte-ordering scheme should be used...

    96 icc in contrast, figure 18 shows the effects of configuring the database for big- endian byte order. Holding registers 1 and 2 again have values of 0x1234 and 0x5678, respectively. However, when the devicenet device receiving the input data from the gateway interprets these values, the resulting ...
