Communications configuring

System- and communication configuring D7-SYS - SIMADYN D
Edition 12.2003
NOTE
Correct communications for broadcast functionality must be exclusively
ensured by configuring the communication association. It should be
especially noted, that only one utility can be executed via the
communications association.
Address example
1. Function block CTV
−
AT: "6111.0007"
−
SIMADYN D transmits an object with the FMS index 6111 via
communications association 7 (broadcast transmitter) using the
FMS utility "Information report".
2. Function block CRV:
−
AR: "receiver.0008"
−
SIMADYN D receives data via communications association 8
(broadcast receiver) using the FMS utility "Information report".
The structure of the process data objects is obtained from the CFC
configuring of the "Virtual connections" (refer to the Chapter,
Communications utility process data).
SIMADYN D data types are converted into FMS data types according to
the following table:

Table 3-40
Converting SIMADYN D data types into FMS data types
•
If precisely one connection is assigned for each transmit/receive
block, then the associated FMS object is the "Simple variable" object
type.
•
If several connections are assigned the same FMS data type for each
transmit/receive block, then the associated FMS object is an "Array"
object type. The number of array elements precisely correspond to the
number of connections.
•
If several connections with different FMS data types are assigned to
each transmit/receive block, then the associated FMS object is the
"Record" object type. The number of record elements precisely
correspond to the number of connections.
