[Section] Description
[IEC-101 Master Session x Sector y] Definition for each sector in each controlled unit
[IEC-101 Master Commands] Command list to control slave units
After each section header, the file contains a set of parameters. Unique labels
are used 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, look at 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 be placed
after the ':' character. For numeric parameter values any text located after the
value will not be used. 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: 38400 #Baud rate for master port
The parameter label is "Baud Rate" and the parameter value is 38400. The
characters after the parameter value are ignored and are used for internal
documentation of the configuration file.
Any record that begins with the '#' character is considered to be a comment
record. These records can be placed anywhere in the file as long as the '#'
character is found in the first column of the line. These lines are ignored in the file
and can be used to provide documentation within the configuration file. 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 IEC101M.CFG file for the specific
application. You must enter each parameter correctly for successful application
of the module. The Reference chapter contains a complete listing of all
parameters utilized by the module with a definition of each parameter.
5.2.1 [Backplane Configuration]
This section provides the module with:
a unique name,
designates database addresses for input and output on the module and on
the processor,
identifies the method of failure for the communications for the module if the
PLC is not in run mode
describes how to initialize the module upon startup.
