<strong>General</strong> <strong>Reference</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>IO Servers ConfigurationImportant: When there are multiple IO servers potentially using the serial line, the unused IO servers must be "DISABLED" for theunused IO server baudrate.Example: if Modbus and UniTE IO servers are available, at least one of them must have the baudrate configured to "Disabled". Ifnot, one of the IO servers will not be able to use the serial line and it will be disabled, with an error written in the event log.5.5.2.2 Topic configurationFigure 80: XWAY-UNITELWAY topics configurationThree topics can be used for the IO Server. These topics are used to give a common property to a group of UNITE Tags such as:• Enable/Disable• Poll rate• Global Slave addressTopic configuration itemTopic enabledGlobal Slave AddressPoll rateDescriptionEnables or disables polling of all the Tags in the topic.This Slave address is a global parameter for all the Tags of the topic. See below for the DeviceAddress syntax. If an address is specified here, it will replace (overload) the address defined Tag byTag.Defines the refresh rate of the Tag name. In a complex application, we can imagine that some Tagname must be refreshed every second – typically for digital input - and other every minute – typically:temperature-.Table 69: UNITE - topics configuration5.5.3 Tag name conventionIO Server configurationIO Server NameUNITEATopic NameBItem NameCValueName,Network,Station,Gate,Module,ChannelValueName,Network,Station,GateValueNamePLC Address is defined Tag by Tag (and the gate requires a5 level addressing)PLC Address is defined Tag by TagTopic PLC Address is usedTable 70: UNITE - IO server configurationThe Item Name can contain the PLC address where the value is polled, or not. If the address is also specified at topic level, the address specifiedat Tag level will be ignored. If the Topic address is not defined either, then address 0,254,0 will be used.RG-001-0-EN ver 1.5 <strong>eWON</strong>® - 20/03/2009 - ©ACT'L sa Page 97
