Channel Configuration
Settings
Set the fields according to the device's serial port configuration
Node Configuration
Station Configuration
The syntax for the Bailey Station field is: <Ring>.<Node>.<Module>
Where:
- <Ring> indicates the Ring where the block is
- <Node> indicates the Node where the block is
- <Module> indicates the Module where the block is
E.g: 1.35.2
Point Address Configuration
The syntax for the Bailey communication point is: <Block>:<Type>:<Value>
Where :
- <Block> indicates the Block that wants to communicate
- <Type> indicates the Function Code type. The valid values are:
| Type | Description |
|---|
| AIL | Analog |
| DD | Device Driver |
| DI | Digital |
| MSDD | Multistate Device Driver |
| RCM | Remote Control Memory |
| RMCB | Remote Motor Control |
| RMSC | Remote Manual Set Constant |
| STN | Control Station |
| TEXT | Text Selector |
| BLK | Block Any Function Code |
- <Value> indicates each Read or Write item
E.g.:
- 1363:DD:Outuput
- 1632:STN:Spec4
Troubleshoot
The status of the driver's execution can be observed through the diagnostic tools, which are:
• Trace window
• Property Watch
• Module Information
The above tools indicate if the operations have succeeded or have failed. A status of 0 (zero) means communication is successful. Negative values indicate internal driver errors, and positive values indicate protocol error codes.
