When a new workbook is created, the first task is to set up the communications driver. The com-
munications driver settings include the communication manager logical port specifications,
number of communications retry setting, and timeout time setting.
4.5.1 Communication Setting Dialog Box
1. Select PLC - Communication Settings - YASKAWA Device .
2. The YASKAWA Communication Settings Dialog Box will be displayed.
3. Select a logical port (1 to 16) from the Communication Port Properties List in the dialog
box. The corresponding parameters will be displayed in the Logical Port Settings Area
above it. The logical port properties displayed in this dialog box must be the same as the
logical port information defined when CimScope was installed. The best way to ensure
this is by clicking the
Get Port Assignments Button and deleting any unnecessary logi-
cal ports the Communication Manager settings have been loaded. (Refer to step 6. )
Clicking the Get Port Assignments Button will delete the previous setting information.
Multiple logical ports can be used simultaneously when using MPLOGGER. For exam-
ple, by assigning 32 controllers each to logical port 1 and 2, up to 64 controllers can be
monitored simultaneously.
