A set of parameters follows each each section header. Use unique labels under
each section to specify a parameter. Each label in the file must be entered
exactly as shown in the file for the parameter to be identified by the program. If
the module is not considering a parameter, check the label for the data item.
Each parameter's value is separated from the label with the ':' character. This
character is used by the program to delimit the position in the data record where
to start reading data. All data for a parameter must follow the ':' character. There
must be at least one space character between the end of the parameter value
and the following text. An example of a parameter entry is given below:
Baud Rate : 19200 #Baud rate for master port
The parameter label is "Baud Rate" and the parameter value is 19200. The
characters after a numeric parameter value are ignored and can be used to
document the configuration file.
Any record that begins with the '#' character is considered to be a comment.
Comments can be placed anywhere in the file so long as the '#' character is the
first column of the line. Liberal use of comments within the file can ease the use
and interpretation of the data in the file.
Use any text editor to alter the supplied IEC103M.CFG file for the specific
application. You must enter each parameter correctly for successful application
of the module. MVI46-103M Configuration Data Definition (on page 82)
contains a complete listing and definition of all parameters utilized by the module.
The session sections of the configuration file are determined by the number of
sessions set in the configuration file. 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]. Each of these sections will
define the characteristics of the specific controlled device to be interfaced. Within
each session definition, is a parameter that specifies the number of sectors for
the session. For each sector defined for a session, there must exist a [IEC-103
Master Session x Sector y] section. Where the x value represents the session
index and the y value represents sector index. For example if session 0 contains
1 sector, there must be a section with the following name in the configuration file:
[IEC-103 Master Session 0 Sector 0]. The specific sector parameter set and
database is defined in this section.
The last section of the configuration file is the command list definition ([IEC-103
Master Commands]). This section can contain up to 1000 user defined
commands to be executed by the module and sent to the controlled devices.
There is no need to place Class 1 or Class 2 polls in the this list for the controlled
