Preconfiguration "PmModbusMr - Papouch AD4ETH (Modbus TCP/IP) - Communication set with data and panel"

Communication by the Modbus TCP/IP protocol with AD4ETH device.
See also Communication with meters by the Papouch company (Czechia).

The device must contain the Modbus communication protocol (another version of the device is also supplied with the communication by the SNMP protocol). The valid TCP-IP address must be set for the device according to the corresponding network environment. The configuration is described in the documentation supplied by the manufacturer.

This preconfiguration can be activated when creating a new object (e.g. by "New object ..." in the context menu of the object or by pressing the Insert key after selecting the object) and is included in the group: "/ Communication / Protocols and other communications / Modbus".
This preconfiguration can be created in the object: PmaFolder or PmaRoot.

- 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 as Web panel.

- The panel serves 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 PmaCommGroup object named "data" includes a "Parameters" tab where Special Parameters are defined (see PmModbusMr - Driver for communication by the Modbus Master protocol). On the "Data" tab, the items are imported by data extension of items defined in the PmaData object (see ExtComm).

in the right part of the panel there are the key describing each color and its menaing for the valid status of analogue inputs.
In the left part of the panel there are the PmgBox compound objects.
All these objects contain the same dinx parameter. This parameter specifies the index (order) for connection of the embedded objects to the data. The embedded objects display the values, names and color status of data comming in from the communication.

These configurators can be set before the preconfiguration is created:

The name of created object	Name of the object created in the Pma objects tree. 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 characters), empty string, spaces and the first character must not be a number. Default: "CommAD4ETH"

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.
Close the connection after each transmission	This option sets the following configurators simultaneously: Not connect until first transfer. See: PmaComm > Setting the parameters of the Ethernet-client > Not connect until first transfer Close connection after every transfer. See: PmaComm > Setting the parameters of the Ethernet-client > Close connection after every transfer
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.
