This section is used to synchronize the time using a centralized atomic clock.
This feature is only usable if your modules are communicating through an access
point such as a RadioLinx Industrial Hotspot. The values in this window should
be left with the default values. As you select each parameter, the help window on
the screen displays information to help you make your selections. The PWP
Driver Manual located on the ProLinx Solutions CD describes each parameter in
detail.
4.1.4 Radio PWP Exchanges (Client_151)
Double-click on the icon.
This is the area where you set up data exchange between the DFNT modules.
Communication is accomplished using Producer and Consumer commands.
Using these commands, you specify the IP address of the receiving (Consumer)
and sending (Producer) module as well as the database locations to produce
data and receive data.
In the sample application, the modules are set up to send 1200 words back and
forth between each DFNT module. Each module contains a database and both
modules are capable of producing or consuming data. This is accomplished
using ProSoft Wireless Protocol (PWP) commands. In the sample, we are
sending all 1200 words and receiving 1200 words back. We are actually sending
only 50 words of data from and to the user's main and remote sites.
Two Produce commands and two Consume commands are used to make this
happen Each command sends (or receives) 600 words of data. The following
example shows both produce commands from the sample application.
