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)
