|
| Baud Rate |
| The unit and attached serial device, such as a modem, must agree on a | |
|
|
| speed or baud rate to use for the serial connection. Valid baud rates are | |
|
|
| 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, and | |
|
|
| 230400 baud. Additionally, 921600 and 460800 baud rates are available | |
|
|
| when CPU is set to High. The default setting is 9600. | |
| Data Bits |
| Indicates the number of bits in a transmitted data package. The default | |
|
|
| setting is 8. | |
| Parity |
| Checks for the parity bit. The default setting is None. | |
| Stop Bits |
| The stop bit follows the data and parity bits in serial communication. It | |
|
|
| indicates the end of transmission. The default setting is 1. | |

Pack Control |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
| Enable Packing | Select to enable packing on the xDirect. | ||
|
| Two | ||
|
| sent to the network. | ||
|
| The standard algorithm is optimized for applications in which the unit is used in | ||
|
| a local environment, allowing for very small delays for single characters, while | ||
|
| keeping the packet count low. | ||
|
| The alternate packing algorithm minimizes the packet count on the network | ||
|
| and is especially useful in applications in a routed Wide Area Network (WAN). | ||
|
| Adjusting parameters in this mode can economize the network data stream. | ||
|
| Disabled by default. | ||
| Idle Gap Time | Select the maximum time for inactivity. The default time is 12 milliseconds. | ||
| Match 2 Byte Sequence | Use to indicate the end of a series of data to be sent as one group. The | ||
|
| sequence must occur sequentially to indicate end of the data collection to the | ||
|
| xDirect. The default setting is No. | ||
| Match Bytes | Use to indicate the end of a series of data to be sent as one group. Set this | ||
|
| value to 00 if specific functions are not needed. | ||
| Send Frame Immediate | After the detection of the byte sequence, indicates whether to send the data | ||
|
| frame or the entire buffer. Select Yes to send only the data frame. The default | ||
|
| setting is No. | ||
| Send Trailing Bytes | Select the number of bytes to send after the | ||
|
| default setting is None. | ||

Flush Input Buffer (Serial to Network) | ||||
|
|
|
|
|
| With Active Connect |
|
| Select Yes to clear the input buffer with a connection that is initiated from |
|
|
|
| the device to the network. The default setting is No. |
| With Passive Connect |
|
| Select Yes to clear the input buffer with a connection initiated from the |
|
|
|
| network to the device. The default setting is No. |
| At Time of Disconnect |
|
| Select Yes to clear the input buffer when the network connection to or |
|
|
|
| from the device is disconnected. The default setting is No. |
|
|
| ||
Flush Output Buffer (Network to Serial) | ||||
|
|
|
|
|
| With Active Connect |
|
| Select Yes to clear the output buffer with a connection that is initiated from |
|
|
|
| the device to the network. The default setting is No. |
| With Passive Connect |
|
| Select Yes to clear the output buffer with a connection initiated from the |
|
|
|
| network to the device. The default setting is No. |
