Port
The index of the serial port to which the controller in connected. If a single serial port is used, do
add a port entry. Valid entries are 0..ComPorts - 1.
[ABDATA] SECTION
For applications where there is no PLC-based control file, initial data can be set for every element
in N13 and F15. This is typically done for register tags, setpoints and other control information.
Default is that all elements of N13 and F15 are initialized to zero. Entries in the section have the
format
Element = Value
Element must be a valid element of N13 or F14. Values are hexadecimal for N13 and floating
point numbers (including decimal points and minus signs) for F15. Example:
[ABDATA]
N13:0 = C8 ; Actual weight fast tagged in controller index 0
F14:0 = 12.33 ; Setpoint for controller index 0
N13:4 = 2 ; Set “download setpoint” bit for controller index 0
If A-B file copy is configured for N13 and F15, the data that are initialized will probably be
overwritten.
[PLCDEFAULT] SECTION
In this section, global defaults can be set for all A-B file copy segments. It is to avoid having to
specify every parameter for every segment. Normally, this is the only place that segment
parameters have to be specified.
DefaultStation
The default PLC station number for the target PLC. if no
Station entry exist in the [SegmentN] Section (page 44), this station number will be used. Default
is 60 (octal).
MCPerSegment
This in the number of MCs that is associated with a set of file copy segments. Default (and
maximum) is 5. For a 12 MC installation, the segments will be arranged as follows with a
MCPerSegment setting of 3 and 5, respectively:
MCPerSegment = 3 MCPerSegment = 5
