Configuring Properties

Configuration parameters to communicate with Digicon's turnstiles are available on this Driver's Properties Window.

In addition to this Properties Window, these settings can also be defined at run time in Elipse E3, Elipse Power, or Elipse Water applications. To do so, initialize this Driver in Offline mode, that is, execute an application with the Start driver OFFLINE option enabled, which is configured on the Setup tab of the Properties Window. The configuration options of this Driver are described on the next table.

Tab

Parameter

String

Data Type

Description

Setup

Physical layer

IO.Type

Text

By default, use the Serial option

Time-out

IO.TimeoutMs

Number

A time limit, in milliseconds, to receive data from a device's response. For example, a value of 1000 defines a one second limit

Serial

Port

IO.Serial.Port

Number

By default, use the same value set on the device. Possible values are 1: COM1, 2: COM2, 3: COM3, or n: COMn

Baud rate

IO.Serial.Baudrate

Number

By default, use the same value set on the device. For example, a value of 9600 defines a baud rate for serial communication

Data bits

IO.Serial.DataBits

Number

By default, use the same value set on the device. Possible values are 7: 7 bits or 8: 8 bits

Parity

IO.Serial.Parity

Number

By default, use the same value set 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 set on the device. Possible values are 0: Stop Bit 1, 1: Stop Bit 1.5, or 2: Stop Bit 2

SCAP

System

DigiconScap.SystemType

Number

Defines a system type. Possible values are 0: SCAP or 1: SCA

Client

DigiconScap.ClientType

Number

Defines a client type. Possible values are 0: SCAP, 1: SCL, 2: SCP or 3: SCC

Requester code

DigiconScap.ReqCode

Number

Defines an access requester code

Password

DigiconScap.HashPass

Texto

Defines an access password

Status request scan

DigiconScap.ScanStatus

Number

Sets a time interval, in milliseconds, that this Driver remains requesting turnstile statuses

Digital exception

DigiconScap.MaxDigitalEvents

Number

Sets the maximum number of digital exception events stored in this Driver's internal memory. Please check the next note for more information

Access control

DigiconScap.MaxMcaEvents

Number

Sets the maximum number of access control events stored in this Driver's internal memory. Please check the next note for more information

Record detailed status information

DigiconScap.LogStatusInfo

Number

Option used only to add extra information to data recorded in the communication log of this Driver with devices, if the Log to File option is enabled on the Setup tab. Possible values are 0: Off or 1: On

 

NOTE

If 0 (zero) is defined as the value for the maximum amount of events, no digital exception or access control event is stored in this Driver's internal memory. If the maximum storage limit is reached, the oldest event is discarded to clear space for the most recent event. Use the Digital Exception and ACM (Access Control Module) Events Tags to collect these events from this Driver's internal memory.

 

All offline properties must be configured via PLC Tags in String format, by using the N1 parameter equal to -1 (minus one), the N2 parameter equal to 0 (zero), the N3 parameter equal to 0 (zero), and the N4 parameter equal to 3 (three). For more details and examples, please check topic Documentation of I/O Interfaces.
