Preconfiguration "PmElgas2 - Minimal set of the PmaComm object"

Communication driver configuration PmElgas2 - Driver for communication with devices by the Elgas company.

This preconfiguration can be activated when creating a new object (e.g. by "New object ..." in the local object menu or by pressing the Insert key after selecting the object) and is included in the group: "/ Communication / PLC devices and meters / ELGAS devices".
This preconfiguration can be created in the object: PmaFolder or PmaRoot.

Preconfiguration for Ethernet or for serial link.
The created preconfigured connection is functional usually immediately. Otherwise it is necessary to obtain the connection parameters specified by the device manufacturer or see also PmElgas2 - Driver for communication with devices by the Elgas company..

These configurators can be set before the preconfiguration is created:

The name of created object	Name of the object created in the tree of Pma objects. The maximum name length is 30 characters. This is a system name, so it must contain only alphanumeric and must not contain any diacritics (i.e. national dependent chars), empty string, spaces and the first character must not be a number. Default: "Comm"

Communication type	Network TCP/IP communication (default) Serial communication
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 by both IPv4 address (e.g. 192.168.0.15) or by computer name (e.g. server11). The IPv4 address 127.0.0.1 is the local address of this computer. Macro expression can be used for input (it is evaluated after starting the application). After the preconfiguration is created, the "PmaComm > Setting the parameters of the Ethernet-client > Network address" configurator will be set to this value.
TCP/UDP remote port number	Ethernet remote port number for communication.
Serial port	Selection of the communication serial port. The value can be change by the OpenPort method. The value can be detected by method GetProtParam("SerPort"). After the preconfiguration is created, the "PmaComm > Setting the parameters of the serial link > Serial port" configurator will be set to this value. Not set - The object is not connected to any port after starting the application and the serial port can be selected dynamically by the algorithm (by the PmaComm.OpenPort method). COM1, COM2,..,COM66 - The specified serial port is opened after starting the application. This port must be correctly configured and accessible in Windows OS (no one can use it). For serial link each PmaComm object must have defined another communication port. For example, if one PmaComm object communicates through COM1, then next PmaComm object can communicate for example through COM2 (COM3, ...) but it mustn't communicate through COM1.
Baud rate	Selection of the baud rate (bps, bit per second). This configurator sets the initial value of the BaudRate property. After the preconfiguration is created, the "PmaComm > Setting the parameters of the serial link > Baud rate" configurator will be set to this value. 110 300 600 1200 2400 4800 9600 14400 19200 38400 57600 115200 128000 256000
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.
