- Communication line category:
...
| Parameter | Meaning | Unit | Default value |
|---|
| Communication Line | Number from range 0-255 which defines the parameter "Communication number" in the protocol telegrams. | - | 0 |
| Line Alive Timeout | Timeout for detection of failure of master side of communication.
After elapsing the timeout since receiving the last sign, the communication line is considered to be nonfunctional. If all lines did not work (relates to the redundant lines), all stations switch to the status of communication error StCOMERR, and after elapsing other such interval, switch to StHARDERR status. | sec | 7 |
| Read Wait Timeout | Delay between reading data from communication line. | ss.mss | 00.050 |
| MOXA Timeout | Timeout for detection of failure of one communication line on the redundant lines. After elapsing the timeout since receiving the last character, the communication is redirected to other communication line, i.e. reading/writing will be done via secondary / backup device. | mi:ss | 00:10 |
| Max Data Size | Maximum number of data bytes in a single packete. This parameter defines approximate value (can be exceeded by a data size of one output I/O tag). The standard defines maximum data size equal to 255 bytes but decreasing the packet size practically solved a particular packet fragmentation problem in WAN communication. | - | 210 |
| System Redundancy: Manages A Status Address | HW address of output I/O tag with the status of system redundancy. Format of HW address is Rack.Chassis.Slot.Point or Rack-Chassis-Slot-Point, for example "0-2-15-1".
Parameter is useful for Serial System&Line Redundant and SerialOverUDP System&Line Redundant lines, which enable the communication with two independent control systems (e.g. main dispatching SED in Žilina and backup dispatching SED in Bratislava).
Parameter enables to ignore values that are received from the control system, which is inactive just now, providing that the application knows which one is active or inactive. It can know it e.g. based on the value of input I/O tag with defined value.
This feature (information about active control system) will work providing that output I/O tag of Dout type with the same HW address as defined in this parameter must be on the station and the application must write True into it if "System A" is active, or False if "System B", configured on the system redundant line, is active. | - |

| Is Substation | On every line ther should be only one station (called the main station) that has this parameter set to False. All other stations (called substations) should have this parameter set to True. This emulates the situation when there may be several substations behind the main station. Requests from the master which do not contain the station number, are related to the main station. | - | False |
| Scan-only Mode | In scan-only mode data is being read and analysed, but no data is sent. Combined with the parameter Full Debug this parameter enable KOM process to be used as an analyser of TG809 communication. | - | False |
| No Point No Answer | If the I/O tag with an address that is in the request from the TG809 server is not found, the KOM process will not send any response.
This behavior is not according to the standard but it can be used, for example, to simulate unconfirmed commands. | - | False |
| Full Debug | Enables detailed listings about sending and receiving values. | - | False |
