C.3 CS I/O Tab
CS I/O Configuration
This setting controls which process will be associated with the CS I/O port.
The following values are defined:
TCP Serial Server
This port uses a TCP/IP based serial server.
TLS Serial Server
This port uses a TCP/IP/TLS based serial server.
PakBus
This port uses the PakBus protocol
Disabled
This port will not be used
CS I/O Serial Server Port Number
To communicate with a TCP/IP server, the client application must open a
socket to that server. The socket of a specific server is uniquely identified by
an IP address of the host where the server is running and a port number
associated with the server application on that host. This entry is where the port
number of the serial server is set. Typically it is not necessary to change this
entry from its default. (range 1..65535)
SDC Address
Communication with the datalogger via the CS I/O port is done using SDC
(Synchronous Device Comms). The datalogger will address the devices with
which it wishes to communicate using an SDC address. The CS I/O port can be
configured to respond to SDC address 7, 8, 10, or 11.
CS I/O Serial Server Timeout
This setting will determine how fast the CS I/O Serial Server will timeout if no
activity is detected. Set to 0 for no timeout (not recommended). (range 0..999)
(seconds)
CS I/O PakBus Beacon Interval
This setting, in units of seconds, governs the rate at which the NL200 will
broadcast PakBus messages on the associated port in order to discover any new
PakBus neighboring nodes. It will also govern the default verification interval
if the value of the Verify Interval setting for the associated port is zero.
