Write data to device — How to control the gateway
The
Write data to device
area consists of three file cards which are used to assemble dif-
ferent commands that can be sent to the gateway. The commands are assembled automa-
tically as you activate or deactivate the different options on the file cards and are display-
ed in the log window. A click on the
Write
button sends the displayed command to the
gateway. The
Clear log
button deletes the displayed command from the log window. It is
also possible to edit the command in the log window manually.
Under the
Read input data sets
file card you can request input data sets from the gateway
using the 00F1h command (see Tab. 21 on page 41).
Activate all data sets that you want to receive. The command that will be sent is shown
in the log window.
Click on the
Write
button above the log window to send the command to the gateway.
The gateway will respond with a 00F1h response message (see Tab. 22 on page 41)
that will be shown in the
Read automatic data from device
area below.
If the gateway is configured to send data sets on this socket cyclically or on change of
state (COS), the gateway’s response may be overwritten very soon by the next message
from the gateway. In this case you should modify the configuration under the
Configure
input data sets
file card (see below).
Under the
Write output data sets
file card you can write data to the gateway’s output data
sets using the 00F2h command (see Tab. 23 on page 42).
Activate all data sets that you want to send and edit the data in the input field for the
respective data set. The command that will be sent is shown in the log window below.
