Preconfiguration "PmTeco - Minimal set of the PmaComm object"

Communication driver configuration PmTeco - Driver for communication with PLC devices by the TECO company.

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 / PLC devices and meters / TECO".
This preconfiguration can be created in the object: PmaFolder or PmaRoot.

After the installation is finished, define the desired PLC variables in the PmaData object by using the ExtComm.
These configurators can be set before the preconfiguration is created:
The name of created objectName of the object created in the Pma object 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 first character must not be a number.
Default: "comm"
Communication type
Network TCP/IP communication (default)
Serial communication
Network addressNetwork 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.
TCP/UDP remote port numberEthernet remote port number for communication.
61682 - Ethernet UDP

After the preconfiguration is created, the "PmaComm > Setting the parameters of the Ethernet-client > TCP/UDP remote port number" configurator will be set to this value.
Close the connection after each transmissionThis 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 portSelection 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 the application is launched 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 the application is launched. 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 rateSelection 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.

After the preconfiguration is created, the "PmaComm > Parameters > Protocol parameters" configurator will be set to this value.
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 dataA set of exemplary data is created
Create PmaCommMsg for reading the information from the PLC deviceCreates the PmaCommMsg objects that allow to test the communication, read the names of all variables from the PLC device and set PLC time.
Device addressAfter this preconfiguration is done the device address will be set on the "PmaCommMsg > Data-sent" tab.
