Configuration ID
The configuration_id line defines a 32 bit signed integer configuration ID
and specifies whether the AN-X to which the configuration is uploaded
should enable or disable execution of the configuration.
The purpose of the configuration ID is to ensure that all AN-X devices
are using the same configuration. When an AN-X produces a block of
data, it includes the configuration ID with the data. If an AN-X
consuming the data does not have a matching configuration ID, it ignores
the data and logs an error in the bridging log. Select Log Files/Bridging
Log to view the log.
The second parameter in the configuration_id line determines whether
AN-X to AN-X communication is enabled or disabled. Possible values
are “enable” or “disable”.
Examples:
configuration_id, 1, enable
configuration_id, 2047, disable
Module Definition
The module_ip line begins the definition of the produced and consumed
data for an AN-X. It consists of the keyword “module_ip”, followed by
a comma and then the AN-X IP address.
Example:
module_ip, 192.168.0.9
The module_ip line is followed by a produce section and a consume
section for the AN-X.
Produce Section
The produce line marks the start of the produced data for an AN-X. It
consists of a comma, followed by the keyword “produce”
Example:
, produce
Produce Blocks
Each AN-X can have up to 10 blocks of produced data. The produce
block can be up to 1400 bytes long.
The block_id line marks the beginning of the definition of a block of
produced data. The format of the block_id line is
, , block_id, blocknumber, update_type, update_time
