Yokogawa DX Serial Driver
logged in at the Administrator level and will return an error otherwise. Note that CD addresses are initialized
(read) at startup and will not be reread unless the server is restarted or the Reset tag is invoked. For more
information, refer to
Model Name of Device
The Model address type will have a string value of 'DX100' or 'DX200', indicating the model series returned
by the device.
Control Math Execution
The MathControl address type is only available for devices equipped with the math option; otherwise, write
operations to the MathControl tag for non-math equipped devices will return an error.
Control Command and Response
The Command address allows the user to send a string command and receive a string response to and from
the device. This allows the user to send any command to the device, including commands not directly
supported by the driver. This tag is only available to users logged in at the Administrator level; otherwise,
write operations will return an error.
Caution
: Write operations using the Command address should be performed with extreme care.
Notes
:
1. The actual number of addresses available for of each type depends on the configuration of the
Yokogawa device. If the driver finds at Runtime that an address is not present in the device, it will post
an error message and remove the tag from its scan list.
2. Addresses that have Write Only access are assigned a default access of Read/Write. However, data
values are unreadable for these addresses and the associated tags are not included in the scan list.
The current data value for these tags will always be 0 for numeric data types and null string for string
data types.
