Configuring and using
- 1. Create an output transport of the type "Sockets", set its Identifier like to "DNP3", one for each the device-PLC.
- 2. Set proper address with port 20000 and timeouts of the Sockets device-PLC.
- 3. Create and start a logical controller object or use any present one with need scheduling properties. The interaction period preferred to be about 0.1 second.
- 4. Create a logical parameter object and select this template for that, one for each the device-PLC — enable the parameter.
- 5. Into the tab "Template configuration" of the logical parameter object you need to set:
- Transport — to address of the transport into step 1. Tracing for the address changing is supported.
- Destination — remote station address in the integer range [0...65520].
- Source — the same station address (source) in the integer range [0...65520].
- Retry connection time — retry connection time in seconds, at the connection missing and no response detection.
- Poll events time — time in seconds of the events periodical polling (Class 1).
- Poll all time — time in seconds of the complete data requesting (Class 0,1,2,3).
- 6. RESULT: The logical parameter object will perform interaction and placing of the gathered data to the object "items", creation/placing and checking for commands of the proper attributes, created by the "itemsSet" instruction.
- 7. In the process of the working, through the tab "Attributes" of operational data, in addition to obtaining the result, it is possible to perform operative setup and control on:
- Items set by — for controlled items naming and definition as attributes and accessible for write.
- All items, {Item attributes} — direct writing for the writable items.
