Node_Name

Provide name for node

 

 

 

alphanumeric

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

characters

 

 

 

 

Network address of the device being polled. If the network

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Node_ID

 

address field is set to $00FF, the controller will respond to the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

packet without regard to its own internal network address

 

0-255

 

 

 

 

 

 

This parameter must be used If units are connected to the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Route

 

FieldServer via a routing device e.g. OPM. The network address

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

consists of the OPM address and the unit address.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Protocol

 

Specify protocol used

 

 

 

MCQ, McQuay

 

 

 

 

Specify which port the device is connected to the FieldServer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This parameter is optional for Server side nodes. The reason is

 

 

 

 

 

 

Port*

 

that when a poll is received on any port an attempt will be made

 

P1-P8, R1-R24

 

 

 

 

to match it against any Map Descriptor/node irrespective of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

port. If emulating more than one node with the same address,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

however, the Nodes must be linked to specific ports.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

200CFC,

 

 

 

 

This parameter has no meaning for a Server but it must be

 

 

100CFC,

 

 

 

 

 

 

050RPC,

 

 

PLC_Type

 

specified to allow the driver to complete its configuration file

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

001ASC,

 

 

 

 

validation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

000SCU,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Type-Unknown

 

 

 

 

This parameter is ignored for a Server. Although every poll

 

 

Ascii characters

 

 

Password*

 

contains a password, this driver does no password validation

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

only.

 

 

 

 

when configured as a Server.
