Parameters

M/O
|
Default
|
Description
|
Hostname
|
M
|
|
Unique name
|
IP address
|
M
|
|
IP address of the PLC or EPAM4-PLCHOST (=Localhost: 127.0.0.1)
If the RTS is to communicate with the local PLC and the Ethernet cable is not plugged in, communication is only possible via Localhost. EPAM4-PLCHOST should therefore be set as IP address so that the communication also functions from the simulation.
|
Delay[ms]
|
O
|
200
|
Delay between two read operations (cycle time of communication task)
|
Timeout[s]
|
O
|
3
|
Maximum time that must not be exceeded when accessing the PLC. (Connect, Read, Write)
|
Retry
|
O
|
3
|
Number of retries up to error
|
DelayOnError[s]
|
O
|
3
|
Delay after an error has occurred. Prevents, for example, too fast connections during an online change
|
Loglevel
|
O
|
|
Levels of error output. Not implemented.
|
Optimize
|
M
|
No
|
Optimized communication Yes/No (summary of variables from the same DB)
|
CChn
|
M
|
16
|
Communication channel from S7 hardware configuration.
|
Rack
|
O
|
0
|
Rack number from S7 hardware configuration.
|
Slot
|
O
|
3
|
Slot number from S7 hardware configuration.
|
PDU-MaxSize
|
O
|
400
|
Max. PDU-Size, depends on the PLC-CPU:
• | 240 byte with CPU-3xx and MPI |
• | 480 byte with CPU-4xx and MPI |
• | 960 byte with CPU-4xx and CP4xx |
This parameter may be empty when using an ATS7-Soft PLC.
|
Variable name
|
M
|
DB_Number
|
Prefix for the variable import from the AWL:
• | DB_Number : Prefix is created from the DB number, e.g. DBxx |
• | DB_Title : Prefix is transferred from the DB name (Header) |
• | DB_Comment : Prefix is transferred from the DB comment |
|
Path symbol file
|
O
|
|
Path and name of the imported symbol file
