45
Elements
Number of elements for segment N. Max 100 for N files, 50 for F files.
DataTypes
Valid entries are FLOAT, WORD and RAW. Use WORD for N files. If the target PLC is a PLC-5,
use FLOAT for F files. If the target PLC is a SLC500, use RAW for F files.
Access
Use MODIFY for source files N12 and F14. Use READ for source files N13 and F15.
PortID
This identifies the port through which the server communicates across the network. It is in the
form of:
nmm:c
-n is the pushwheel number assigned to the interface module in the
CFG_KT.INI file.
-mm identifies the module containing the port. The correct entry for this
parameter is KT and should not be changed.
-c is the channel number of the port. The correct entry for this parameter
is 0 and should not be changed
The default entry for PortID is 1KT:0.
Station
Station number for the target PLC for segment N. Different segments may have different target
PLCs. Normally the target PLC carrying the control files (N13 and F15) is set up as
DefaultStation is the [PLCDefault] Section (page 43). Other PLCs have their a station number
settings defined here.
Processor
The PLC type for the target PLC for segment N. Valid entries are PLC5 and SLC500.
TimePeriod
Minimum time between file copy attempts. The report files (N12 and F14) are subject to a file
transfer whenever the content changes. Since data in F14 is highly dynamic, a lot of network
traffic can be generated if the frequency of copy attempts are not limited. This entry is the
minimum time, in ms, between file copy attempts. Control files (N13 and F15) are read
periodically, using a time period according to this entry.
AlwaysReport
The report files (N12 and F14) are normally only copied when the contents have changed. To
force file copying regardless of the content of the report files, set this entry to 1.
