Supported device types and versions


This protocol supports data reading and writing to DIRAS devices produced by Paufex s.r.o. Prešov.

Communication line configuration


Communication line category: Serial.
The parameters of an asynchronous line are set according to version and type of device connection.

Communication station configuration


Communication protocol: Paufex DIRAS.
The station address is a decimal number in the range 0 up to 127.
If necessary, the synchronization of the real-time of the station can be enabled.


Station protocol parameters

You can set the following parameters:

Table 1

KeywordFull nameMeaningUnitDefault value
RC
Retry CountMaximum count of request retries. If no response returns after a request had been sent, the station's status will change to a communication error.-3
MWR
Max Wait RetryThe maximum number of retries of the response reading.-8
RT
Retry TimeoutTimeout before resending a request if no response has been received.ms1000 ms
WT
Wait TimeoutThe delay between the response readings.ms400 ms
WFT
Wait First TimeoutThe delay after sending the request and before reading the response.ms500 ms

A string containing the protocol parameters is being defined as follows:

Key_word=value;Key_word=value; ...

Example:

RC=1;RT=500;

If a keyword with an invalid value is in the initialization string, the corresponding default value according to table 1 will be used.

I/O tag configuration


I/O tags: Ai, Ao, Ci, Co, Di, Do, TiA, ToA, TiR, ToR.

The address requires three parameters: type, number, and reference.

The values are set in hexadecimal format:

  • Type – 0 up to FF
  • Number (Nr) – 0 up to FFFF
  • Reference (Ref) – 0 up to FF


Data reading and writing

Data reading is done in the individual references by the message 02. Message 03 is used to write a new value to the reference.

A real-time may be read/written also with the I/O tag of TiA (or ToA) type, with address Type=FF, Number=FFFF, Reference=FF. 

Message 0B ensures the reading of real-time and Message OC the writing of real-time.
