Backplane Setup
Parameter N-File
Location M0:
Offset Description
BPFail N10:0 0 This parameter specifies the number of
successive transfer errors that must occur before
the communication ports are shut down. If the
parameter is set to zero, the communication ports
will continue to operate under all conditions. If the
value is set larger than 0 (1 to 65535),
communications will cease if the specified number
of failures occur.
Port 1 Setup
Parameter N-File
Location M0:
Offset Description
Port[0].Enabled N10:1 1 This parameter defines if this port will be utilized.
If the parameter is set to 0, the port is disabled. A
value of 1 will enable the port.
Port[0].Type N10:2 2 This parameter specifies the receive termination
characteristics for the port. This value is bit
mapped as follows: Bit 0 = Termination
character(s) used, Bit1=Message timeout used,
Bit2=Intercharacter delay timeout used and
Bit3=Packet size limit used. If the parameter is set
to zero, the port is placed in stream mode.
Port[0].Baudrate N10:3 3 This is the baud rate to be used on the port. Enter
the baud rate as a value. For example, to select
19K baud, enter 19200. Valid entries for this field
include: 110, 300, 600, 1200,
2400, 4800, 9600,19200
384 for 38400, 576 for 57600, and 115 for 115200.
Port[0].Parity N10:4 4 This is the Parity code to be used for the port. The
coded values are as follows: 0=None, 1=Odd,
2=Even, 3=Mark and 4=Space.
Port[0].DataBits N10:5 5 This parameter sets the number of data bits for
each word used by the protocol. Valid entries for
this field are 5, 6, 7 and 8.
Port[0].StopBits N10:6 6 This parameter sets the number of stop bits to be
used with each data value sent. Valid entries for
this field are 1 and 2.
Port[0].RTSOn N10:7 7 This parameter sets the number of milliseconds to
delay after RTS is asserted before the data will be
transmitted. Valid values are in the range of 0 to
65535.
Port[0].RTSOff N10:8 8 This parameter sets the number of milliseconds to
delay after the last byte of data is sent before the
RTS modem signal will be set low. Valid values
are in the range of 0 to 65535.
Port[0].Handshaking N10:9 9 This parameter specifies the handshaking used
on the port. The code values are as follows: 0=No
hardware or software handshaking, 1=RTS/CTS
hardware handshaking, 2=DTR/DSR hardware
handshaking and 3=XON/XOFF software
handshaking.
