Configuring Properties |
This topic contains information about the properties available on the BCM1_MasterSlave tab, already including the value of Strings of offline properties that can be programmed by users when starting an application in Offline mode.
For E3 or Elipse Power applications, the value of these settings can also be defined at run time. To do so, select the Start driver OFFLINE option to start this Driver in Offline mode.
The configuration options for this Driver are described on the next table.
Configuration options for BCM BCM1_MasterSlave Driver
Tab |
Parameter |
Offline String |
Data Type |
Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Setup |
Physical Layer |
IO.Type |
Text |
Selects the physical layer of communication for this Driver. By default, use the Serial option |
Timeout |
IO.TimeoutMs |
Number |
A time limit, in milliseconds, to receive data from a device's response. For example, the value 1000 defines a one second limit |
|
Serial |
Port |
IO.Serial.Port |
Number |
By default, use the same value configured on the device. Possible values are 1: COM1, 2: COM2, 3: COM3, …, n: COMn |
Baud rate |
IO.Serial.Baudrate |
Number |
By default, use the same value configured on the device. For example, the value 9600 defines a baud rate for serial communication |
|
Data bits |
IO.Serial.DataBits |
Number |
By default, use the same value configured on the device. Possible values are 7: 7 bits or 8: 8 bits |
|
Parity |
IO.Serial.Parity |
Number |
By default, use the same value configured on the device. Possible values are 0: No Parity, 1: Odd Parity, 2: Even Parity, 3: Mark Parity, or 4: Space Parity |
|
Stop bits |
IO.Serial.StopBits |
Number |
By default, use the same value configured on the device. Possible values are 0: Stop Bit 1, 1: Stop Bit 1.5, or 2: Stop Bit 2 |
|
BCM1_MasterSlave |
Max Events |
BCM1_MasterSlave.MaxEvents |
Number |
Number of events on a PLC's queue. If left in 0 (zero), then uses the value 700 (default) |
All offline properties must be configured via PLC Tags in String format, by using parameters N1 equal to -1 (minus one), N2 equal to 0 (zero), N3 equal to 0 (zero), and N4 equal to 3 (three). For more details and examples, please check topic Documentation of I/O Interfaces.
