Channels Configuration

Settings

Serial  channels:

Default configuration for RTU mode :

  • DataBits: 8
  • StopBits: 1 if parity is used, 2 if no parity

Set the other fields according to your Serial port configuration


TCP/IP channels:

  • NodeConnections: Defines the maximum number of parallel requests that will be sent to each node (asynchronous communication)



Node Configuration

Station Configuration

TCP/IP channels:

  • Station syntax: <IP address>

Where :

  • <IP address>: IP address of the slave controller

                E.g.:  192.168.1.101 



Point Configuration

The syntax for the CTC communication points is: <Type><Number>

Where:

  • <Type> indicates the memory area, the valid values are:
    •  R           for Register
    • AO         for Analog Output
    • AI          for Analog Input
    • F            for Flag
    • DI          for Digital Input
    • DO        for Digital Output

For more information about the valid types, see Supported Operands aforementioned.

  • <Number> indicates the data address in the memory area, from 1 to 65535

 

E.g.: R10 (Type= Register, Number = 10)
