Description

Maximum job size in bytes

MaximumJobSizeInBytes

UInt32

Maximum size in bytes of a transmission of tags from the PLC. 0 = 1024 bytes (maximum value).

Maximum gap in bytes

MaximumGapInBytes

UInt32

Maximum distance in bytes between two tags to be part of the same transmission.

Source Network Address

SourceNetworkAddress

Byte

Default value = 0. It corresponds to the FINS parameter named “Network Address”. It can be set to 0 if the PC and all the devices are on the same network. The range of valid values is: 0..127.

Source Node Address

SourceNodeAddress

Byte

Default value = 50. It corresponds to the FINS parameter named “Node Address”. The range of valid values is: 0..254. Usually it corresponds to the last octet of the PLC Ethernet card IP address, i.e. if 192.168.0.54 is the PLC IP address, use 54 as node number.

Source Unit Address

SourceUnitAddress

Byte

Default value = 0. It corresponds to the FINS parameter named “Unit Address.”. If the communication is with the PLC CPU, the Unit Number should be 0.

IP address

IPAddress

String

Unique address to reach the PLC on the network

Port

Port

UInt16

Default value = 9600. This is the number of the TCP port of the device to be connected to. Valid port numbers range from 1 to 65535. Since FINS protocol requires that the source and destination port number be the same, if this parameter is modified, the Local Bound Port parameter should be modified as well and the two values must be equal.

Timeout

Timeout

Duration

Maximum wait time in milliseconds to receive a response from the PLC.

Optimization type

OptimizationType

OptimizationType

Select Datablock when working with consecutive addresses. Mixed Data otherwise.
