Radio PWP Exchanges
This is the area where you set up data exchange between the MNET modules.
Communication is accomplished using Producer and Consumer commands.
Using these commands, you specify the IP address of the receiving (Consumer)
and sending (Producer) module as well as the database locations to produce
data and receive data.
In the sample application, the modules are set up to send 1200 words back and
forth between the each MNET module. Each module contains a database and
both modules are capable of producing or consuming data. This is accomplished
using ProSoft Wireless Protocol (PWP) commands. In the sample, we are
sending all 1200 words and receiving 1200 words back. We are actually sending
only 50 words of data from and to the user's main and remote sites.
Two Produce commands and two Consume commands are used to make this
happen Each command sends (or receives) 600 words of data. The following
example shows both produce commands from the sample application.
Producer Command Narrative for the First Command:
1
Send data using Unicast Mode
2
Send the data to IP Address 172.16.10.131.
3
Send 600 registers beginning at DB Register 1200.
4
Do not set a Swap Code.
5
Send the data every 100 milliseconds (producer commands must be 1/4 of
consumer commands).
6
Use an Exchange ID of 1002.
Producer Command Narrative for the Second Command:
1
Send data using Unicast Mode
2
Send the data to IP Address 172.16.10.131.
3
Send 600 registers beginning at DB Register 1800.
4
Do not set a Swap Code.
5
Send the data every 100 milliseconds.
6
Use an Exchange ID of 1003.
Note:
IP Address 172.16.10.131 is the other 6201-WA-MNET module that will
be configured as an MNET Server.
The Consume commands perform the same function for data coming into the
module from the MNET Server once configured.
