The database parameters used by the MODGW point are listed and described below:
Configuration | Function | |
Parameters |
|
|
|
| |
ID | Slave Address that the Modbus Slave protocol handler will respond to. The | |
| default is to match the Unit Address of the TankGate. | |
|
| |
Mode | Operational Mode. The Mode is a hex value, with individual bits controlling | |
| various aspects of the operation of the Modbus Slave protocol handler. The | |
| bits have the following meanings: | |
| 0x01 | – Set Param Indexing mode |
| 0x02 | - Integer Swap mode |
| 0x04 | – Swap CRC bytes |
| 0x08 | - ASCII mode |
| 0x20 | – Wonderware Mode |
| 0x80 | - Ignore any trailing nulls in the request |
| The default is 0. | |
|
| |
BaudRate | Baud Rate for communications to the Host system. Valid values are: 1200, | |
| 2400, 2400, 9600 and 19200. Changing the BaudRate parameter will | |
| immediately change the configuration of the ComPort. | |
|
| |
ComParams | Defines the number of data bits and the parity used by the com port. Valid | |
| values include: | |
| 8N - 8 data bits, No parity | |
| 8O - 8 data bits, Odd parity | |
| 8E - 8 data bits, Even parity | |
| 7O - 7 data bits, Odd parity | |
| 7E - 7 data bits, Even parity | |
| The default is ‘8N’. | |
