Control Data Transfer
The control communication typically occurs when the client sends a command
request to update the module's command points.
The data types addressing are described in the following table:
Data Type
Data Size
Addressing Type
C_SC_NA 1
bit

C_DC_NA 2
bits

C_RC_NA 1
byte

C_SE_NA 1

C_SE_NB 1

C_SE_NC 2
words

Some of the command points may be configured to be selected before executed.
Refer to the following parameter to configure the select/operate timeout period.
After the module receives the SELECT operation it will wait for this period of time
for the EXECUTE operation. If the module does not receive an EXECUTE
operation within this period of time it will require another SELECT operation
before the EXECUTE operation.
Select/Operate Timeout : 20000 #Milliseconds before select
#timeout
Command Points Addressing
As discussed before, the command points must be configured in a database area
that is updated at the module. You must associate each point to a database
address in the 4205/5205-TS-104S-PDPS module. The interpretation of this
parameter depends on the point type configured.
C_SC_NA and C_DC_NA
The single-point command and dual-point command points use one bit with bit-
addressing. For example, if you configure the following points:
# Monitor Monitor Require
# Point # DB Address Point # DB Addr Select
# ------- ---------- ------- ------- -------
START
100 1600 0 0 0
101 1601 0 0 0
102 1602 0 0 0
END
These points would be used as follows:
Inf. Object Address
Module Database Address
100
Bit 0 of word 100
101
Bit 1 of word 100
102
Bit 2 of word 100
The protocol specification defines a qualifier value that is set by the master to
determine the duration of the pulse (short, long or persistent).
