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:

  • <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.
