3.1.6 GECConfig (Configuration Object)
This object is used with the module configuration option from the ladder logic. In
the previous version of the module, the configuration parameters for the module
could only be altered by downloading new files using the Debug/Configuration
port. This feature allows configuration files to be generated from data held in the
processor. When the module receives this new data set from the processor, it
generates the files. The following illustration shows this new object:
Name Data Type Description
ModName SINT[80] Module name (null terminated)
Password SINT[20] Password (null terminated)
Servers GECServer[5] 5 Servers for module
Wattcp GECWattcp Cfg data for wattcp.cfg file
The ModName and Password members of the object must be null-terminated
strings (must end with a value of 0 decimal). If the Password member is not to be
used in the module's configuration file, set the first byte of the member to decimal
0. When the module recognizes the zero-length string, it will not set the password
item in the file. These first two options reside in the [MODULE] section of the
GEC.CFG file.
The array of five objects that follow specify the configuration items in the
[SERVER x] sections of the GEC.CFG file. The following table describes the
structure of this object.
Name Data Type Description
Enable INT Enable this server (0=No and not 0=Yes)
ServicePort INT Service port to listen of with this server
ConnTimeout INT Connection timeout
ConnCloseType INT Connection close type (0, 1 or 2)
SwapRx INT Swap Rx bytes (0=No and not 0=Yes)
SwapTx INT Swap Tx bytes (0=No and not 0=Yes)
The parameters in this data area are the same as that described in module
configuration.
