Network address | Network address of the remote device (e.g. of the PLC device), to which the communication will be connected.
The address can be entered as: - IPv4 full address (e.g. "192.168.0.15")
- IPv4 address of this computer (i.e. "127.0.0.1")
- IPv4 computer name (e.g. "server11")
- IPv4 name of this computer (i.e. "localhost")
- IPv6 full address (e.g. "2a02:c38:8136:800a:37a:ab66:6fc9:accd")
- IPv6 address of this computer (i.e. "::1")
Macro expression can be used for input (it is evaluated after the application is launched). After the preconfiguration is created, the "PmaComm > Setting the parameters of the Ethernet-client > Network address" configurator will be set to this value. |
PLC type |
0 = Control/Compact/..Logix - There will be communication with PLCs of the ControlLogix, CompactLogix or other ..Logix types.
1 = Micro850/870 - There will be communication with PLC devices of the Micro850 or Micro870 types. |
Create PmaCommMsg for reading the variables from the PLC device | Creates the PmaCommMsg object that allows to read the names of all variables from the PLC device and saves this list into "ABradleyVarCfg.txt" file. |
Create examples of testing data | A set of exemplary data is created |
Communication refresh rate [ms] | The period in milliseconds to be used for reading the current data by the PROMOTIC application.
After the preconfiguration is created, the "PmaCommGroup > Parameters > Communication refresh rate [ms]" configurator will be set to this value. |
