3. To create a new connection, click on Add on the "Connection" tab.
ETCN004
4. Specify a name for the connection.
To enable an application to communicate with a control system via the
ETC−MMI Gateway, each connection must be assigned an unambiguous
name. You can choose any name. Assign e.g. consistent names "ETC0",
"ETC1" ... or application−specific names "ramp", "laser control" etc. A
name can contain up to 31 ASCII characters ("A ... Z", "a ... z" , "0 ... 9").
5. Select a connection type:
ƒ UDP connection for ETCHx control systems
Ethernet communication via DPR/UDP/IP protocol.
ƒ PCI connection for ETCPx control systems
DPR communication via a WDM driver (ETCPC.sys, in the scope of supply
of the ETCPC).
6. Enter a communication parameter in the "IP address" field:
ƒ ETCHC = IP address (
¶ 28)
ƒ ETCPC = Index of the PCI cards (indexes of the PCI cards are in the range
0 ... 9 and are automatically assigned by the driver. The first ETCPx has
the index 0).
7. Close the dialogue via OK.
Your entries are saved in the file "mmigtway.ini" (
¶ 283). If a connection
with the same parameters already exists, the error "Gateway cannot
change the parameter" is reported.
