5.14.1.1.2 Topic configuration
Figure 105: HITACHI IOServer: Topic configuration
Three (3) topics can be used for the IO Server. These topics are used to give a common property to a group of Hitachi Tags like:
• Enable/Disable
• Global Device Address
• Polling Rate
Table 113: HITACHI IOServer: Topic configuration item definition
5.14.2 Tag name convention
The Item Name can contain the PLC address where the value is polled or not. If an address is also specified at topic level, the address specified
at Tag level will be ignored.
Topic configuration item Description
Topic enabled Enables or disables polling of all the Tags in the topic.
Global Device Address
See below for the Device Address Syntax. If an address is specified here, it will
replace (overload) the address-defined Tag by Tag.
Poll rate
Defines the refresh rate of the Tag name. In a complex application, we can
imagine that some Tag names must be refreshed every second - typically for
digital input - and other every minute - typically: temperature-.
