Description
Maximum job size in bytes
MaximumJobSizeInBytes
Maximum size of a transmission of tags from the controller (in bytes). 0 = 128 bytes (maximum value); different from 0: limits the maximum duration of transmission from the controller and the maximum latency of the writes to the controller following the reading to the set value.
Maximum gap in bytes
MaximumGapInBytes
Maximum distance in bytes between two tags to be part of the same transmission.
Unit identifier
UnitIdentifier
Device ID in accordance with the Modbus protocol specification.
Write multiple coils
WriteMultipleCoils
Enables multiple write mode for Coil data.
Write multiple registers
WriteMultipleRegisters
Enables multiple write mode for Holding Register data.
IP address
IPAddress
(TCP mode) Unique address to reach the controller on the network.
Port
Port
(TCP mode) Defines the number of the port used by the TCP-IP connection. It must match the one configured in the controller.
Timeout
Timeout
(TCP mode) Maximum wait time in milliseconds of the driver to receive a response from the controller.
Tag optimization
TagOptimization
Enables/disables the grouping of multiple tags in a single read. If the controller doesn’t support the read multiple tags simultaneously mode, disable this option.
Swap bytes
SwapBytes
This selection makes it possible to swap, for word-type data, the bytes between them. The result will be that the data linked between FactoryTalk Optix Application and device will swap the high byte with the low byte and vice versa, for each task word-type data.
Swap Words
SwapWords
This selection makes it possible to swap, for double word-type data, the words between them. The result will be that the data linked between the FactoryTalk Optix Application and device will swap the word high with the word low and vice versa, for each task double-type data.
