Preconfiguration "PmMelsecFXS - PLC Mitsubishi - Communication set with data and panel"

Communication driver configuration PmMelsecFXS.

See Communication with Mitsubishi PLC devices.

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 / Mitsubishi - PLC device".
This preconfiguration can be created in the object: PmaFolder or PmaRoot.

The preconfiguration creates an object of the PmaComm type and a testing data set. Also the panel with complex Pmg objects is created for displaying the status.

- The preconfiguration creates an object of the PmaFolder type containing PmaComm object with PmaCommGroup subobject and following objects: PmaPanel, PmaData.

- The preconfiguration is created including the panel (object of the PmaPanel type) is functional also a Web panel.

- The panel is used for communication testing and it is not essential for the communication functionality.

In the PmaComm object named "Comm" the communication parameters are set (Network address, ...). The required data is defined in the PmaData object and connected via the ExtComm to the PmaCommGroup object.

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: "MelsecFX"

Communication type	Network TCP/IP communication (default) Serial communication
Network address	Network address 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. Values defined in the Ethernet converter.
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.

Protocol version	General (all FX-series) - General FX protocol (older protocol but still supported in the devices of the 2nd series) Extended (FX2N) - Extended protocol supported in the devices of the 2nd series

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.

Create examples of testing data	A set of exemplary data is created

Create panel for test data	Creates panel that monitors the statistics of communication values
Panel title	Displayed in the panel header
