Supported device types and versions



Generic User Protocol is intended to support an application-level implementation of simple and lightweight communication protocols directly in event. It supports several types of lines including line-redundant and system-redundant ones. Data read from the communication are published into input I/O tags (IN) without waiting for any confirmation from event's side, therefore it is recommended to implement data handling via server event using the action ON CHANGE, eventually by a trigger event with a request queue configured, eventually by enabling multiple executions of the script (action ENABLE) so that all the published data is handled even under heavier load.


Communication line configuration



Category of communication line:



Communication line protocol parameters



Configuration line dialog box - tab Protocol parameters.
They influences some of the optional protocol parameters. The following line parameters can be set:


Table 1


Key wordFull nameDescriptionUnitDefault value
RTRead Wait TimeoutWaiting between individual data readouts from the communication. If no data was received during this period and previously some data was read, it will be published as a value of input I/O tag IN.
If some data was received during this period, it will appended to a buffer, until a timeout occurs or the buffer becomes full (see a parameter Read Size). If a parameter Log Each Read is set to True, data will be published immediately regardless of the value of parameter Read Wait Timeout.
sec.mss1.000
RSRead SizeMaximum size (in bytes) of input data. Longer data will be published in several chunks.-1024
LELog Each ReadIf this parameter is set to True, data will be published immediately regardless of the value of parameter Read Wait Timeout.-False
LFLog FormatFormat of data traces in log files: "0 - Hexa log" or "1 - Text log".
Setting the correct format helps to make a communication log file more readable depending on whether the specific protokol is text-oriented or binary by dumping the data in text or hexadecimal format.
-0 - Hexa log
SLSingle LogSetting this parameter to True will make all logs to go to a single file on redundant lines.
Setting this parameter to False means that two log files will be created for the primary/secondary line (Serial Line Redundant, SerialOverUDP Line Redundant, TCP/IP-TCP Redundant), or four log files will be created for the primary/secondary line of A/B system (Serial System&Line Redundant, SerialOverUDP System&Line Redundant).
-False


Communication station configuration



  • Communication protocol Generic User.
  • Station address is not configured; it is recommended to configure a single station per line, but multple stations are supported too. In this case, when data is received from the communication, it will be published via input I/O tags IN on all configured stations. Likewise, it will be possible to use output I/O tags OUT on any configured station.


I/O tag configuration



Possible value types of I/O tag: TxtI, TxtO.


Input I/O tags:



Output I/O tags:



Note: it is possible to configure and use an I/O tag with the address IN and I/O tags IN_A, IN_B, IN_C, IN_D on a single station at the same time.
In a similar way, it is possible to configure and use an I/O tag with the address OUT and I/O tags OUT_A, OUT_B, OUT_C, OUT_D on a single station at the same time.
