Supported device types and versions...
Generic User Protocol is intended to support an application-level implementation of simple and lightweight communication protocols directly in eventthe D2000 Event process via an ESL script or Java code. 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 eventthe ESL script's side, therefore it is recommended to implement data handling via server event 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 protocol parameters...
Configuration line dialog box - tab Protocol parameters.
They influences influence some of the optional protocol parameters. The following line parameters can be set:

| Read Wait Timeout | Waiting 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 be 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.mss | 1.000 |

Communication station configuration...
- Communication protocol Generic User.
- Station The station address is not configured; it is recommended to configure a single station per line, but multple multiple 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 IInput I/O tags:
- Input The input I/O tag has address IN.
Note: on redundant lines an I/O tag with address IN receives values read from any line (primary/secondary), eventually from any system (A/B). - on line-redundant lines (Serial Line Redundant, SerialOverUDP Line Redundant, TCP/IP-TCP Redundant) it is possible to configure I/O tags with addresses IN_A a and IN_B to distinguish inputs from primary/secondary line
- on system-redundant lines (Serial System&Line Redundant, SerialOverUDP System&Line Redundant) it is possible to configure I/O tags with addresses IN_A, IN_B, IN_C, IN_D to distinguish inputs from primary/secondary line of system A/B
...
Output I/O tags:
- Output The output I/O tag has address OUT.
Note: on redundant lines values written to an I/O tag with address OUT are written to both lines (primary/secondary), eventually to both systems (A/B). - on line-redundant lines (Serial Line Redundant, SerialOverUDP Line Redundant, TCP/IP-TCP Redundant) it is possible to configure I/O tags with addresses OUT_A a and OUT_B to write data to primary/secondary line only
- on system-redundant lines (Serial System&Line Redundant, SerialOverUDP System&Line Redundant) it is possible to configure I/O tags with addresses OUT_A, OUT_B, OUT_C, OUT_D to write data to primary/secondary line of system A/B only
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.
