USB/COM DRIVER CONFIGURATION WINDOW
In this dialog box you may specify connection parameters for the USB or RS485 interfaces.
Port settings:
Port – if the driver is properly installed and the controller is connected to the computer, the
appropriate COMx port can be found in the pop-up menu. If multiple or none ports are shown, make
sure that the USB serial port or your RS485 converter driver installation in Device Manager is correct.
Here, you can also find out which port is used for communication. The communication parameters are
fixed: 115200 Bd, 8N1.
Timeouts:
Default read timeout – maximum time necessary to receive response from the controller. Modify the
value (increase) only if you experience communication problems.
Buttons:
Default – sets default communication parameters.
OK, Cancel – standard confirmation and cancellation of the dialog box.
LAN/UDP DRIVER CONFIGURATION WINDOW
In this dialog box you may specify Ethernet interface parameters and UDP protocol settings.
UDP protocol settings:
Select profile - it is used to select connection profile. Connection profiles are used to quickly configure
connection settings. They are useful e. g. for connections from local and public networks where you
must switch between two IP addresses. New profile may be created by pressing the "New" button.
The new profile stores the current IP address and UDP port settings. Created profiles may be deleted
by the Delete button.
IP address (IPv4) – IP address used to access the controller. You may specify the controller IP address
in your local network, or if you use suitable NAT settings for your router you may also specify the
global Internet address of your router. Before you changing the IP address, you have to change the IP
address settings directly in the controller - see the "Other settings" tab.
UDP port – UDP port used to access the controller. The default value is 50000.
Note:
If you cannot establish communication via Ethernet, connect via USB and check the current LAN
settings in the controller.
Timeouts:
Default read timeout – maximum time necessary to receive response from the controller. Modify the
value (increase) only if you experience communication problems.
Communication delay after reset – if you are connected via LAN the "reestablishment" of the
connection after the controller reset may take longer than if you are connected via USB or RS485.
Modify the value (increase) only if you experience communication problems after controller reset
(typically, after you loaded new firmware to your controller).
WEBCLIENT BASED XML DATA EXCHANGE WINDOW
In this window, you can set options related to XML data exchange functionality in web client mode. This feature
is available since firmware version 1.5. The data has the format described in chapter Data record for web client
