Communication in D2000 is handled by the D2000 KOM process. The latter has as children communication lines (serial, TCP, UDP, OPC, file, etc.), these have children communication stations (on which the communication protocol is defined) and communication stations have children measured points (we call them I/O tags).

Redundancy of the KOM process - instance processes. The KOM process can also be started in instance (shadow) mode - then several KOM processes are connected to one D2000 Server as instances (no. 1, 2 ... upto 15) of the same KOM process (e.g. [1]_REMOTE.KOM , [2]_REMOTE.KOM - see start parameter /W). One instance is active (communicating), the others are passive. For more information, see the Redundancy of communicationCommunication chapter. |
Communication objects are configured in the D2000 Cnf tool.

Finally, the I/O tags are configured - the parent of the I/O tag is the communication station. The type must be defined for the I/O tag (input/output type digital/analog/integer/absolute time/relative time value). Filters, conversion to technical units, process alarms, and other parameters can be configured at the measured pointthe I/O tag.
On the I/O tag, it is also possible to configure the status text (converting a number to a text constant for the display) and the transformation palette (which determines the standard format during display, unless it is changed by a format mask).

Communication tuning: on the same configuration tab as the line category is set, it is also possible to set Communication tracing - to the disk or to the screen (the process screen can be displayed with the D2000 System Console tool. Some protocols have different parameters that can be used to increase the logging level (e.g. MODBUS Client has Full Debug protocol parameter, IEC 870-5-104 protocol has Debug Input and Debug Output parameters). Turning on additional tuning information for a specific I/O tag(s) is possible with the command DI ON <mask>. |
