Configuring and using
- 1. Create an output transport of the type "Serial" directly or by the "Sockets" gate, and set its Identifier like to "Serial.out_OPTRIS", one for each the devices' used serial bus.
- 2. Set proper address and timeouts of the Serial device.
- 3. Create and start a logical controller object or use any present one with need scheduling properties.
- 4. Create a logical parameter object and select the template for that, one for each the devices — 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.
- Device address — to logical address of the device on the bus under the transport in step 1.
- 6. RESULT: The logical parameter object will perform interaction and placing of gathered data to the parameter attributes. Also you are able to send some commands to the device through the writable attributes.
