Description

MEN-SMB2 device protocol is used to control input-output peripherals with integrated SMB2 interface for computers produced by MEN.
An example is BL50W.

Communication line configuration

• Communication line category: API

Communication station configuration

Station address

Address of station is a text identifier of the SMB2 interface. Its name can be found in "Device Manager", Device Settings tab.

Station protocol parameters

I/O tag configuration

Possible I/O tag types for variable mode: Ai, Ao, Ci, Co, Di, Dout

I/O tag address

The address of the I/O tag is a 16-bit number entered in decimal format. For example, this protocol may be used to control the LED indicators. The address of the register, which is used to configure them, is "0x40". I/O tag address will be "64". This I/O tag will return 1-byte information about the state of LED indicators. If only one LED diode should be controlled, the I/O tag address can be for example "64.3". I/O tag defined in such a way will control the third LED diode.
