Delta Electronics DOP-AE Series, DOP-AS Series manual Communication tab in Configuration option

Chapter 2 Creating and Editing ScreensScrEdit Software User Manual

	Communication tab in Configuration option
	Insert / Delete	Insert	Press Insert button to determine the connecting device name and
	Controller		the controller:
	Connection
			It is used to set the connecting controller. Available connecting
			controller will be different depending on HMI type the user uses.
			(DOP AE and AS series HMI can support three max. different
			controllers simultaneously.)
		Delete	It is used to delete the existed connecting controller (One project
			needs to connect at least one controller).
		Update	Modify the connecting controller or change the controller name.
	Controller Settings	COM Port	It is used to set the COM port used to communicate with HMI
			(COM1 or COM2). COM3 port is only provided in some types of
			HMI, e.g. DOP AE and AS series.
		Password	Entering a password is necessary for some connecting controllers
			before communication.
		Comm. Delay	It is used to set a delay time for the startup of an external
		Time	controller (i.e. PLC). The range is within 0 ~ 255 ms.
		Timeout	It is used to set communication time out time when communicating
			with the external controller. The range is within 100 ~ 65535ms.
		Retry Count	HMI will try to send communication command to the external
			controller repeatedly if the external controller does not respond
			during communication. This option is used to set the number of
			retry count times. A communication error dialog box will not
			appear unless the number of retry count times is reached. The
			range is within 0 ~ 255 times.
		Optimize	Use this option to enable optimization function. If optimization
			function is enabled, all read addresses of all related elements will
			be optimized.
		Size Limit	This function is available only when “Static” in “Optimize Type”
			option on Standard tab is selected. It is used to avoid the screen
			updating speed from slowing down when reading a long
			continuous address.
		When the check box next to “Communication Interrupt times then cancel connected”
		is checked, HMI will stop communicating with the external controllers after the
		communication interrupt times are reached. The purpose of this function is to avoid a
		communication error dialog box will show on the HMI screen when a communication
		error occurs after HMI has retried. The range is within 1 ~ 255 times. If the user
		wants to recover the communication between HMI and controller again when HMI
		stop communicating with the external controllers after the communication interrupt
		times are reached, the user can use Bit 0 of the control block D1 (suppose that the
		stating address is D0) to control HMI communication. When Bit 1 is set to ON, it will
		disable HMI communication. When Bit 1 is set to OFF, it will enable HMI
		communication. Please refer to Chapter 5 for more description.
		HMI Station	It is used to set HMI station number. The range is within 0 ~ 255.
		PLC Station	It is used to set PLC station number. If PLC does not set station
			number, it will use this default setting. The range is within 0 ~ 255.
