Ethernet gateways
Click on the
Write
button above the log window to send the command to the gateway.
The gateway will respond with a 00F2h response message to indicate whether the
output data sets have been written correctly or if an error has occured (see Tab. 24 on
page 42). The result will be shown in the
Read automatic data from device
area below.
Under the
Configure input data sets
file card you can configure the gateway to send input
data sets either on change of state (COS) or cyclically (auto update) using the 00E1h
command (see Tab. 25 on page 44).
Activate all data sets that you want to receive, choose the update mode (i.e. either COS
or auto update and COS) and enter the
Update rate
(40 to 65535 ms), if auto update is
desired. The command that will be sent is shown in the log window.
Click on
Write
to send the command to the gateway. The gateway will respond with a
00E1h response message (see Tab. 26 on page 44) that will be shown in the
Read data
from device automatically
area below.
Depending on the configuration, the gateway will follow up with 00E2h messages, i.e. it
will send the activated data sets as on COS and cyclically as configured (see Tab. 27 on
page 46).
The initial behaviour of the gateway when you open the socket monitor depends on the
gateway’s configuration for the respective socket in your project or on the last 00E1h
command the gateway has received and does not correspond necessarily with the
settings displayed in the
Configure input data sets
file card.
The changes you make to the input data sets configuration here will not be stored in
your project but will change the behaviour of the gateway temporarily, i.e. until it
receives another 00E1h command or until the Flexi Soft system is restarted.
