This preconfiguration can be used with the objects: PmaFolder or PmaRoot.
The created preconfigured connection is functional usually immediately. Otherwise it is necessary to obtain the connection parameters specified by the device manufacturer or in the documentation: PmNET0 - Driver for communication by the NET0 protocol.
| 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, empty string, spaces and the first character must not be a number. Default: "Comm" |
|---|---|
| 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 the OS Windows (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 |
| Parity | Parity selection. Appropriate value for the device, which it is communicated with, must be selected. This configurator sets the initial value of the Parity property. After the preconfiguration is created, the "PmaComm > Setting the parameters of the serial link > Parity" configurator will be set to this value. |
| Number of stop bits | Appropriate value for the device, which it is communicated with, must be selected. This configurator sets the initial value of the StopBits property. After the preconfiguration is created, the "PmaComm > Setting the parameters of the serial link > Number of stop bits" configurator will be set to this value. 1 stopbit 1.5 stopbit 2 stopbit |
| This computer number (ncp) | After the preconfiguration is created, the "PmaComm > Parameters > Protocol parameters" configurator will be set to this value. |
| Opposite computer number (ncp) | After the preconfiguration is created, the "PmaCommMsg > Parameters > Message parameters" configurator will be set to this value. |
