Port Settings
GateWT uses the following ports.
• Monitor server port
The port used for communications from DAQLOGGER and Remote Monitor.
• Status acquisition port
The port from which the status display software acquires status from the executable
software. Search for an empty port to use as the status acquisition port.
Running/Stopping the Executable Function
The user interface allows you to start and stop the executable function.
The executable function runs under one of the following two methods or “types.”
• Process Run/Stop
The executable function is run/stopped as a process.
• Servi
ce Run/Stop
The executable function is registered as an automatically executing service, then
run. After an executable function running as a service is stopped, its registration as a
service is deleted.
Note
As indicated by the service execution status, the executable function continues processing
even when the user has logged off of Windows. Also, the software is automatically run as a
service when the computer is turned ON. Service execution can only be specified by users
with Administrator privileges. Services cannot be executed when using Windows Vista.
Monitor Server Function of the Executable Function
When the executable function is running, you can connect from DAQLOGGER or
Remote Monitor via Ethernet using the remote monitor protocol, and acquire data. In this
case, system numbers are assigned as follows:
WT
assigned to WT01 : 0
WT assigned to WT02 :
1
If GateWT is connected without specifying a system number on DAQLOGGER, all WTs
are regarded as being of the same system. For example, if a GateWT connected to two
WTs is connected to DAQLOGGER without specifying a system number, it appears as
though a single GateWT with two WTs worth of channels is connected.
Executable Function Status Display
The status display shows the status of the environment setting and executable functions.
The information from the executable function that can be displayed is as follows:
• Practice status (stopped, running as a service, running as a process)
• Connection status from the client
Displays a list of PCs running DAQLOGGERS and Remote M
onitors with which the
executable software has opened a connection.
• Error display
Shows the presence or absence of errors on the executable function.
Test Acquisition
You can perform a test acquisition on each tag using the configurator. During the test
acquisition, data is read from WT output channels assigned to each tag and displayed
as digital values. This allows you to determine whether the communication settings for
each tag are correct. The test acquisition gets values from assigned tags at intervals of
approximately 1 second. Up to 32 tags can be assigned to a group, and up to 4 groups
can be displayed.
The number of tags that can be assigned to a group differs depending on the type of
connected device, and only up to 4 groups can be displayed.
