refers to the number of data points to be read from the device. The
Scan_Interval
is the
speed at which we wish to read the values from the device.
Restoring to Factory Configuration
All of the protocols can be returned to their original factory settings by entering the
configuration for that protocol and clicking the
Restore Defaults
button.
Disabling protocols
To disable a protocol, select the personality, enter the configuration screen and delete the text in
the text box. Click the
Submit
button to save your changes. You can restore to the factory
defaults by clicking "Restore Defaults".
Protocol Map
Selecting the
Protocol Map
option in the navigation menu will display a table showing the
mapping of the different protocols. This is how the Ethernet-side and serial-side protocols are
linked together. Every active serial protocol is mapped to every active Ethernet protocol and
vice versa. The map is created by the FST software and is based upon the memory addresses
and data array lengths you select in the protocol configurations. If you change the length of data
arrays in your configuration, the addresses of mapped protocols will change with it. For
example:
We have Modbus RTU and DF1 mapped to Modbus TCP. The Modbus RTU configuration has
a length of 20 it maps as shown here:
Protocol Mapping File
From: To: Length:
Modbus RTU[00001]
Modbus TCP[00001]
20
AB DF1[B13:0]
Modbus TCP[
00021
] 16
From the perspective of the Modbus TCP protocol, the first 20 addresses are used by Modbus
RTU (starting at address 00001, followed by DF1 at address 00021).
