2.7 [IEC-103 Master Session x]
This section defines Session y, which runs on Port x. The Session Count
parameter in the [IEC-870-5-103 Master] section of the configuration (page 36)
determines the number of sessions (controlled devices) for this port.
The sessions are referenced by a zero-based index value. For example, if the
module is configured for four sessions, the configuration file should contain
sections for Sessions 0 to 3 (that is, [IEC-103 Master Session 0] to [IEC-103
Master Session 3]).
The parameters in [IEC-103 Master Session y] define the characteristics of the
specific controlled device to interface.
2.7.1 Communication Port
0 or 1
This parameter sets the port to which the controlled device is connected. On this
module, values of 0 and 1 are permitted.
2.7.2 Sector Count
1 to 5
This parameter sets the number of sectors contained in this controlled device.
The range of values is from 1 to 5. A sector section is required for each sector in
a session to define its database and settings.
2.7.3 Data Link Address
0 to 65535
This parameter defines the Data Link Address for the device emulated on the
module. This address identifies the module on the network along with the
common address of ASDU.
2.7.4 Failure Delay
0 to 2000 seconds
This parameter sets the minimum number of seconds to delay before polling this
session when it is not online. This parameter is only used in unbalanced mode.
2.7.5 Confirm Timeout
0 to 4,294,967,295 (two raised to the power of 32, minus one) milliseconds
This parameter sets the number of milliseconds to wait for a confirm response
from the controlled device.
