Entry |
Type |
Default |
Range |
Description |
SWStack |
string |
"N" |
"Y"|"N" |
Defines whether the Software stack is
used by Applicom or not. |
MaxGap |
unsigned |
10 |
> 0 |
The maximum difference between two addresses
until which the data in polling requests is grouped. If
the address range between 2 addresses that are next to each other
is > MaxGap a new group is created. (e.g. configuration of
the addresses 1.100, 1.101, 1.102,1.103, 1.115, 1.116 for the
Modbus protocol would group the addresses into two cyclic functions.
The default value is 10.) This config entry is only applied to
input addresses. |
MaxGapFactorBit |
unsigned |
4 |
- |
This entry exists due to the fact that
bit holes in normal case might be larger than holes in byte or
word addresses.
So if MaxGap is 10 (=Default) and MaxGapFactorBit
is 4 (=default) a hole of max. 40 Bits is a allowed when requests
are grouped. |
TimeOut |
unsigned |
3 |
1 - 10 |
Timeout for alive messages [s].
This timeout should not be lesser than the timeout specified on
the Applicom card, otherwise problems with the communication may
occur. |
aliveTolerance |
unsigned |
0 |
- |
This entry defines the allowed number
of missing responses from the periphery while monitoring alive
signs (for example to a Siemens S5). |
InitFile |
string |
"" |
- |
Executable program for initializing
the configuration on the Applicom card. Default: the program path
is read from the registry. If another executable should be used
for the initialization the path has to be set accordingly (e.g.
"C:/program files/applicom/applicom
3.7/Pcinit.exe"). If the initialization process should
not be executed when the driver starts set this entry to "N".
Under Linux the initialization is not executed when the driver
starts (default). Chapter Requirements
and installation describes how to set the config entry for
Linux. |
AutoGQ |
string |
"Y" |
"Y"|"N" |
Defines whether a general query should
be executed when the connection to a device was established successfully. |
MaxInternPollTime |
unsigned |
10 |
1 - 6553 |
The maximum poll interval [sec]
until which the polling is executed on the Applicom card. If the
value configured in the address panel of a data point element
is bigger or equal to the set value in the config entry, the driver
polls. |
MaxPollItem |
unsigned |
1024 |
64 - 1000000 |
Maximum number of poll requests in the
queue. If this number is reached further requests are discarded. |
MaxDeferredQueueSize |
int |
64 |
1
- 64 |
This entry avoids connection losses
for S5 PLCs. The default is 64, which is the maximum possible
for an Applicom card. With this config entry the default value
can be reduced. |
RawMode |
string |
"Y" |
"Y"|"N" |
Defines whether the driver gets the
data from a S7 PLC in type independent mode or not. I.e. with
the Applicom driver in WinCC OA
you can get data from a specific range in a S7 which do not have
the same type (e.g. an a address range contains data of type bit, float, word, ...). |
pollUncond |
string |
"N" |
"Y"|"N" |
At card polling it might happen that
the driver do not get values when the coming values coincidentally
correspond to the value in the DB on the Applicom card. Via the
config entry pollUncond = "Y" all data and not only
changes are forwarded. Default is "Y". Important is,
that the low-level comparison is activated in this context, because
otherwise every new value, if changed or not, is routed to the
Event Manager. |
reduPostfix |
string |
"" |
- |
Postfix for the device data points at
a redundant driver. Has to be set to "_2"
for a redundant driver. |
MaxSpontDBWord |
unsigned |
0 |
0 - 24999 |
With this config entry you can reserve
memory of type word for spontaneous data.
MaxSpontDBWord = 100 means, that the addresses
0 - 99 are reserved for spontaneous data. |
MaxSpontDBByte |
unsigned |
0 |
0 - 13488 |
With this config entry you can reserve
memory of type byte for spontaneous data. Card polling begins
above this range. |
MaxSpontDBBit |
unsigned |
0 |
0 - 32765 |
With this config entry you can reserve
memory of type bit for spontaneous data. Card polling begins above
this range. |
WriteInSlaveMode |
string |
"No" |
"Yes"|"No" |
With this entry you turn on the communication
(especially writing) to a Modbus slave equipment (see also Specific features with the communication). |
