Introduction

This document has the specific information related to this driver configuration. For a generic explanation on Device Module, Channels, Nodes and Points configuration, please refer to reference guide.

Summary Information

Communication Driver Name: TSimulator - SCADA Random Values

Current Version: 1.0.0.0

Implementation DLL: T.ProtocolDriver.TSimulator.dll

Channel Configuration

Protocol Options: Not used in this driver.

Node Configuration: Not used in this driver.

Point Configuration

The syntax for the TSimulator communication points is: <Type>:<Min>;<Max>

Address configuration example.

Where:

Type: Represents the Simulation Type:

BOOL;
INTEGER;
