The upper part of this tab displays a list of all configured connections. When there is an "Exclusive owner" connection in the EDS file, it is inserted automatically when adding the adapter. The configuration data for these connections can be changed in the lower part of the dialog.
The configuration data is defined in the EDS file. The data is transmitted when the connection to the adapter is established.
“RPI (ms)” |
Requested Packet Interval: Exchange interval of the input/output data |
“O -> T Size (Bytes)” |
Size of the producer data from the scanner to the adapter (Originator --> Target) |
“T -> O Size (Bytes)” |
Size of the consumer data from the adapter to the scanner (T --> O) |
“Proxy Config Size (Bytes)” |
Size of proxy configuration data |
“Target Config Size (Bytes)” |
Size of adapter configuration data |
“Connection Path” |
Address of the – configuration objects – input objects – output objects |
“Add Connection” |
Opens the ⮫ New Connection dialog. The parameters for the new connection are determined here. |
“Delete Connection” |
Deletes the selected connection from the list |
“Edit Connection” |
Opens the “Edit Connection” dialog. The parameters for the existing connection are modified here. |
The table shows the connections with the configuration parameters from the EDS file. The connections are divided into configuration groups. |
|
“Raw data values” |
If the scaling parameters are defined in the EDS file for the data, then you can show the values as raw data or converted data.
|
“Display parameter groups” |
|
“Defaults” |
Resets to the default values |
“Value” |
Double-click to change the value. Depending of the data type, you can specify the value directly in the input field or select from a list box. In the case of bit field data types and deactivated raw data values, a dialog opens for you to choose the individual bits. Only those bits can be selected which fall within defined minimum and maximum values. If bit field data types contain enumerations in the associated EDS file, then only these enumerations are shown with the associated bit positions. If a connection contains a parameterizable connection path in the EDS file, then here you can modify the different parameters of the respective connection. |
