Preconfiguration "PmSBUS - Minimal set of the PmaComm object"

Communication driver configuration PmSBUS - Driver for communication with SAIA and DIGIControl PLC devices by the S-BUS/S-BUS+ protocol.

This preconfiguration can be activated when creating a new object (e.g. by "New object ..." in the local object menu or after pressing the Insert key after selecting the object) and is included in the group: " / Communication / S-BUS protocol (SAIA, DIGIControl)".
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 in the documentation: PmSBUS - Driver for communication with SAIA and DIGIControl PLC devices by the S-BUS/S-BUS+ protocol.

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, 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 to which the communication will be connected. The address can be entered by both IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.15) or by name (e.g. server11). 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.
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
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
Protocol data type	See: Protocol data type After the preconfiguration is created, the "PmaComm > Parameters > Protocol parameters" configurator will be set to this value. The same data as for serial link SAIA S-BUS in UDP-frame DIGIControl S-BUS TBETH protocol
TCP/UDP port number	Ethernet port number for communication. 5050 - SBUS in UDP-frame for PLC SAIA 5556 - for PLC DIGIControl 5558 - for PLC DIGIControl After the preconfiguration is created, the "PmaComm > Setting the parameters of the Ethernet-client > TCP/UDP port number" configurator will be set to this value.
Transfer mode	See: Transfer mode After the preconfiguration is created, the "PmaComm > Parameters > Protocol parameters" configurator will be set to this value. 1: Parity 2: Data
SBUS address of this application	For "DIGIControl S-BUS TBETH protocol" data type.
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.

Default PLC address	The address defined here can be used for definitions in the "ItemID" configurator for the variables in this object (i.e. the variables on the "Data" tab or in data extension ExtComm). The address can be entered in ItemID: - as for example dev1... - then the value will be read from the PLC device with address 1. - or devD... - the "D" character means default (it means that the address is taken from this configurator). This parameter can be modified and read in the script during runtime by methods: SetSpecParam("SlaveAddr") and GetSpecParam("SlaveAddr"). After the preconfiguration is created, the "PmaCommGroup > Parameters > Special Parameters > Default PLC address" configurator will be set to this value.
