If you click the icon
in protocol
option part, you can see the dialog box such as <Figure 2>. you can also set
read schedule by using this part.
 |
| <Figure 2> Example of VISION120 driver Option dialog box |
You can set read schedule by using
,
,
button and
listbox of <Figure 2>.
Set Vision 120 and communication speed to communicate (Select among the 110, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600) at 'Baud Rate' part of <Figure 2>,
and set RS-232C Comm Break time during initialization at 'Init Comm Break Time' part.

| <Figure 3> Example of VISION120 driver's read schedule Add/Edit dialog box |
When you click Add button or Edit button in dialog box of <Figure 2>, dialog box of <Figure 3> is shown.
Write to direct address of controller, regardless of SCAN File.
Digital Write
You can set status value(reset etc) of device or control Relay etc.
Digital write and analog write have the same setting parameters except output value.
Write example 1)
Station : 1 Address : 0012 Extra1 : O, EXTRA2 : Blank
If you set as above and output the digital value, you can control value(ON/OFF) for 'O' memory, no.12 address of VISION120 which connected to no.1 station.
Write example 2)
Station : 1 Address : 0035 Extra1 : MB, EXTRA2 : Blank
If you set as above and output the digital value, you can control value(ON/OFF) for 'MB' memory, no.35 address of VISION120 which connected to no.1 station.
Analog Write
Analog output is writing BYTE/WORD/DWORD/FLOAT value to device(PLC).
Analog write setting parameters are as follows :
1) PORT : Connected Port number.
2) STATION : Device Station( ID ) number. ( 0 ~ 255 )
3) Address : Output address. Output address of decimal unit. ( 0 ~ )
When data type is RTC – Top 2 digit : Minute, Sub 2 digit : Second setting value.
4) Extra1 : Data type to want to output. (Only writable area of <Table 1>)
O – Write data to Output area,
MB – Write data to Memory Bit area,
MI – Write data to Memory Integer area,
ML – Write data to Memory Long area,
DW – Write data to Memory Dword area,
SI – Write data to System Integer area,
SL – Write data to System Long area,
SDW – Write data to System Dword area,
ID – Station(ID) write of PLC,
RTC – Write current time(RTC) of PLC, (Refer to <Table 2>)
RUN – PLC Run output command,
STOP – PLC Stop output command,
INIT – PLC Memory Init and Reset output command,
RESET – PLC Reset output command,
BOOT – PLC¿¡ switch to Boot Strap output command.
5) Extra2 : When data type is RTC – Top 2 digit : Day, Sub 2 digit : Hour setting value,
Etc - Don't care.

Write example 1)
Station : 1 Address : 0000 Extra1 : MI, EXTRA2 : Blank
If you set as above and output the analog value, you can change MI memory value of no.0 address for VISION120 equipment which is no.1 Station.
Write example 2)
Station : 1 Address : 0050 Extra1 : ML, EXTRA2 : Blank
If you set as above and output the analog value, you can change ML memory value of no.0050 address for VISION120 equipment which is no.1 Station.
Write example 3)
Station : 1 Address : 1020 Extra1 : RTC, EXTRA2 : 2214
If you set as above and output the analog value as 0302, you can change current time of VISION120 equipment which is no.1 Station, as 14:10:20 February 22th 2003.
