D2000 GateWay Client may be configured also for direct transfer of values of selected objects from the source D2000 System (shows data through the D2000 GateWay Server) to the destination one without need to configure objects of "Remote tag" type.
...
The value transfer is executed only on the basis of verification of object match between D2000 Systems. To transfer the values, select the particular objects or group of objects filtered by mask and then enter them to the start parameters of GateWay Client process.
The destination system tries to verify whether the required objects exist in the source system and if so, it ensures transferring value of these objects. If the source system does not contain the particular object, it will have the invalid value in the destination system.
If the list of objects is changed (any object is added or deleted) while running the GateWay Client in the destination system, which corresponds with mask, the proper action is executed towards the source system (logging on / off of object).
Any values are not transferred from the destination system to the source one. The value transfer is always unidirectional.
The structured variables can be transferred only as whole.
There is not supported the feature Destination column for I/O tags. A user must select the values of given destination structure that are to be transferred.
GateWay Client process may be executed both as it is defined for remote tags and as the transparent gateway.
...
You should realize that the transparent gateway assigns the values to objects those administrative processes in DODM system. Therefore, these processes must be stopped in the destination D2000 System. It concerns the communication processes and calculation processes.
...
To activate the transparent gateway, start GateWay Client with one or more /ROV parameters.
Syntax: /ROVobj_mask1[+][,][obj_mask2][+][,]......
/ROV parameter is followed by a name (or more names separated by a comma) of object or mask for more objects. To transfer the object values together with the child, add '+' (plus) character at the end.
Examples:
| /ROVSELF.KOM+ | Ensures the value transfer of the SELF.KOM process together with its children (lines, stations, I/O tags). |
| /ROVM.* | It is used for value transfer of I/O tag which name starts according to the ordinary naming 'M.'. |
| /ROVM.OBJ1,M.OBJ2 | Value transfer of objects M.OBJ1 and M.OBJ2. |
Pairing objects by UID
Transparent gateway supports pairing not only by object names but also by UID objects. This feature is enabled by the start parameter /UID, which must be used when starting both the GateWay Client and GateWay Server processes.
This feature can be used to implement the functionality of a transparent gateway regardless of changes in names of the objects (provided that they have the same UID), i.e. objects can be renamed.
Filtering of process alarms
When transferring the values to the destination system, the values of process alarms are usually filtered. To transfer values together with the process alarms, start GateWay Client with the /ROA parameter.
Diagnostic information
To activate the detailed debug information, start GateWay Client with these parameters:
| /E+DBG.GTW_TR | Enables listing of the debug information about the objects when executing of the transparent gateway. |
| /E+DBG.GTW_TR.VAL | Enables listing of the debug information about the value transfer of selected objects to the destination system. |
This listing of debug information can be enabled /disabled also while running the GateWay Client through the D2000 System Console.
Tell command TRGTW
After receiving the TRGTW command, GateWay Client lists the status of all required objects.
