dispatch

file. The address of the target data point is registered on another line under the keyword

target

Example of a dispatch.txt file:

# Mapping of a 1-bit value from Profinet to MODBUS

[1190.M pnetd outbit 1.7]
target = 80.S mod 3 coil 4
# Mapping of an analogue value from Profinet to MODBUS

[1190.X pnetd outbyte 3]
target = 80.Y mod 7 holding 30

The usual procedure for configuring the universal gateway consists of the following steps:

Configuration of the network drivers (adapters) contained within the UGW -> Communication
parameters

Configuration of the data points:

Selection of the data points of the network to be mapped

Selection/creation of corresponding data point counterparts of the other technology

Creation of data point connections (e.g. connection of NVs with BACnet objects)
