3.1 Operation procedure
(1) Create the configuration file
The configuration file is used to specify the setting information for the T-PSV.
The T-PSV does not have the function to edit the configuration. The T-PSV works based on
the configuration described on the configuration file that is created separately.
The configuration file is CSV format, and it is created by other application, such as Excel.
The configuration file includes the following information.
•
PLC connection information (Ethernet or serial)
•
For serial connection, communication parameters (baudrate, parity, etc.)
•
Time-out and update cycle settings for the connection
•
PLC information (IP address for Ethernet, station number for serial, PLC model, etc.)
•
Tag setting (tag name, corresponding PLC register, update cycle designation, etc.)
Refer to section 4 for the configuration file setting details.
A sample configuration file (Sample.csv) has been installed together with the T-PSV in the
same folder. You can use this file to create your configuration file by modifying it.
(2) Create the DDE client application
The T-PSV functions to link the PLC data with the DDE client application, such as Excel,
Visual Basic, etc.
In the client application, the Tag of the T-PSV is linked through the following convention.
<application>|<topic>!<item>
Where;
application = PLCSRV
topic = T
item = Tag name
application and topic are fixed as above. (Upper and lower cases are not distinguished)
item is the Tag name used in the T-PSV.
