3.4.3. Parameter Settings (Serial Port)
This section describes how to set up the communication parameters for the serial communication links using the
Parameter page of the Link Properties dialog box.
The following is an example of the Parameter page for a
serial direct link. The following is an example of the Parameter page for a
N-to-1 master.
The following table describes each property in the Parameter page of the Link Properties dialog box for a serial link.
Property Description
Baud Rate The baud rate used.
Data Bits The number of data bits used.
Parity The scheme of parity used.
Stop Bits The number of stop bits used.
Panel Address The address of the target panel.
PLC Address The address of the connected device.
Timeout Time The maximum time allowed for the communication driver to wait for the reply from the
connected device. When the elapsed time exceeds the Timeout Time, the communication
driver assumes the communication failed.
Command Delay If the Command Delay is 0, the communication driver sends the next request immediately to
the connected device after it received the reply of the last request. If the Command Delay is
nonzero, the communication driver delays the specified time before sending the next request
to the connected device.
Retry Count The number of times that the communication driver will retry to get a successful reply from
the connected device for each request. If the number is zero, the communication driver will
use a default retry count.
