Node Configuration

Station Configuration

Stations syntax: <IP>;<Port>;

Where :

  • <IP> = The IP address of the slave device in the network
  • <Port> = The TCP port where the slave device is listening (default is 44818)

Sample Node configuration

NameChannel Primary Station
IndraControlIndraControl192.168.200.105;44818


Point Address Configuration

The syntax for the IndraControl communication points is: <%QB><Address> for Outputs and <%IB><Address> for inputs

E.g.: %QB1 (Type = Output, Address = 1)

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.
