13.0 Using the Central Station
Automation System with
the D6600
If using a D6600, connect a central station automation
system computer to the COM3 port (automation
computer port) on the D6615 CPU Terminator Card
with a null-modem cable. Refer to the D6600/D6100
Computer Interface Manual (P/N: 4998122703) for
additional information.
Standard automation reporting usually sends RS-232
serial data from the D6600 COM3 port to a COM port
of a separate automation PC (refer to COM3 Automation
Configuration in the D6600/D6100 Program Entry Guide
[P/N: 4998122702]). With no additional programming
required at the D6600 Receiver, you can use the same
serial communication across a network connection by
using D6680 Network Adapter modules at both ends of
the automation communication path. The D6600 still
sends the standard serial data, but the D6680 Network
Adapter modules communicate with each other,
convert the data back to the standard RS-232 that the
automation computer can interpret, and transmit that
data back over the network.
Some messages might go
unacknowledged (NACK) due to
increased network activities. This forces
NetCom to resend these messages. Refer
to the D6600 NetCom System Guide
(P/N: 4998122712) for complete details
on network communications and
programming.

NOTE:
For automation packages with network capabilities : The
packet format received from the D6600 is the same as for
RS-232 reporting, except an internet protocol (IP) and user
datagram protocol (UDP) header is stamped on the packet as
the data transmitted by either standard IP or UDP structure
over the network. Automation software can easily support the
network communication by calling Socket functions, both
provided in Windows and UNIX. Using the built-in IP
connections (or sockets) available in Windows and Unix.
