 view that displays the status of the communication driver.
Diagnose
 is available when:

  • None
  • Odd
  • Even
The default value is None.
Node address (for DNP3 slave)
Specifies the address of the controller on the DNP3 network. The address of each device on the network must be unique.
The value is from 0 through 65519. The default value is 1.
Station address (for CIP serial)
Specifies the station address for the serial port that is associated with the Data Framing (DF) 1 protocol.
The address is from 0 through 254. The default value is 1.
Modbus role (for Modbus RTU)
Specifies the role of the Modbus port. Options are:
  • Master
  • Slave
  • Auto
The default setting is Master.
Protocol Control
DNP3 slave
The
Protocol Control
 settings for DNP3 slave are the same as the settings on the Serial port - DNP3 slave configuration page.
DF1 mode (for CIP serial)
Specifies the supported protocol.
The protocol control setting varies with the selected DF1 mode, including:
Media
Specifies the communication media. Options are:
  • RS232
  • RS485
The default setting is RS232.
Control line
Specifies the type of handshake for communication.
  • Select
    No Handshake
     for direct point-to-point communication without a modem.
  • select
    Half Duplex without continuous carrier (RTS/CTS)
     when both the master and slave are using the half-duplex modems.
  • Select
    Full-duplex(RTC always on)
     when both the master and slave are using the full-duplex modems.
The default setting is No Handshake.
Unit address (for Modbus RTU)
Specifies the Unit ID if configured as a Modbus server (slave). The option is not available when
Modbus role
 is set as
Master
.
The value is from 1 through 247. The default setting is 1.
Media (for Modbus RTU)
Specifies the supported media type.
The options available for L50E controllers are:
  • RS232 no handshake
  • RS232 RTS/CTS
  • RS485
Data bits
Specifies the number of bits of data per character.
  • For Modbus RTU, the default setting is 8 and it is read-only.
  • For ASCII, options include
    7
     and
    8
    , and 8 is the default setting.
Deletion mode (for ASCII)
Specifies the mode of the ASCII deletion character. The mode affects the characters that are echoed back to the remote device.
  • In
    CRT
     mode, when encountering a deletion character, the
    Micro800
     controller echoes three characters to the device: backspace, space, and backspace. This covers the previous character on the terminal.
  • In
    Ignore
     mode, the previous character is removed from the receive buffer.
    Ignore
     is the default option.
  • In
    Printer
     mode, when encountering a deletion character, the
    Micro800
     controller echoes the slash character, and then echoes the deleted character.
Stop bits (for ASCII)
Specifies the number of stop bits per character. Options include
1
 and
2
. 1 is the default setting.
Append chars (for ASCII)
Specifies the append characters that are defined for the ASCII protocol and used for transmitting. It is from zero to two hexadecimal values, separated by a comma.
0xFF
 is reserved and can be used to signify no characters. The default setting is
0x0D,0x0A
.
For example:
  • 0x0D,0x0A - 2 characters, the default value
  • 0x0D,0xff - 1 character
  • 0x0D - 1 character
  • 0xff,0xff - no characters
  • 0xff - no characters
  • blank - no characters
Termination chars (for ASCII)
Specifies the termination characters that are defined for the ASCII protocol and used for receiving. It is from zero to two hexadecimal values, separated by a comma.
0xFF
 is reserved and can be used to signify no characters. The default value is
0x0D,0x0A
.
For example:
  • 0x0D,0x0A - 2 characters, the default value
  • 0x0D,0xff - 1 character
  • 0x0D - 1 character
  • 0xff,0xff - no characters
  • 0xff - no characters
  • blank - no characters
XON/XOFF (for ASCII)
Turns on or turns off the XON/XOFF function. The setting is not available when
Control line
 is set to
Half-duplex without continuous carrier (RTS/CTS)
. It is turned off by default.
Echo mode (for ASCII)
Turns on or turns off the character echo. When turned on, all received characters are echoed back to the computer running
FactoryTalk Design Workbench
. When the
Micro800
 controller is connected with a terminal, you can view the entered characters.
The setting is not available when
Control line
 is set to
Half-duplex without continuous carrier (RTS/CTS)
.
It is turned off by default.
Broadcast pause (for Modbus RTU)
Specifies the delay after the data broadcast. The value is from 0 through 4,294,967,295 milliseconds. The default value is 200 milliseconds.
Inter-frame (delay/timeout) (for Modbus RTU)
Specifies the delay after a transmission request. The value is from 0 through 4,294,967,295 microseconds. The default value is 0 microseconds.
RTS pre-delay (for Modbus RTU)
Specifies the delay period before requesting a transmission.
The value is from o through 4,294,967,295 microseconds. The default value is 0.
RTS post-delay (for Modbus RTU)
Specifies the delay period after requesting a transmission.
The value is from o through 4,294,967,295 microseconds. The default value is 0.
