...
Please choose "Connection" in the Navigation Area of the Modular Generic Adapter. Select the Module “Slot<2> 1734-OB8E”.
Decode the field fields "trigger & transport" and "realtime format", which are defined in Connection9.
...
These parameters describe the connection variables, which have to be filled in the Connection configuration Window in Sycon.net.
The free Open the Tool "EZ-EDS" from ODVA (https://www.odva.org/software/EZ-EDS-Download), can be used to make decoding of the parameters easier.Therefore, open to decode the parameters.
Open the EDS by selecting "File → Open…”. Select "Generic EDS" as EDS type and ignore the upcoming error messages.
...
The name “Connection9” in EDS file is automatically converted to “Connection1”.The following dialog window:
Based on these informations, now Now configure the Connection Area in Sycon.net, based on these informations:
Don't forget, to set the Connection name to "Connection9".
...
Now the Connection Path has to be filled in. The Connection Path is described in the EDS here-File:
Switch back to EZ-EDS, select “Connection1” “Connection1” in the left tree view.
Click the Button "Decode Path". A new Window will pop up. Select decimal format in this dialog now .
Now the instance ID can be read out for Configuration in Sycon.net.
Based on the above informationinformations, the assembly Instance ID can be specified.
...
The input assembly length is defined in the field “T->O size” and field “T->O format” of Connection 9Connection9:
It can be decoded as follows:
...
When the "Size" of the T=>O default description is empty, the format "Format" has to be evaluated.
In this case, Assem127 is used to define the format. Go to the definition of Assem127, in the EDS:
.
Since the field for the length is empty ($ Length in bytes), the Membe Member fields fields should be evaluated:
The Assemblys Member Members can be decoded as follows:
,,
32,,
,Assem44;
| Member Size | Member Reference |
|---|
| 1st Member | empty | empty |
| 2nd Member | 32 | empty |
| 3rd Member | empty | Assem44 |
This means, the first Member is reserved, the second one has a size of 4Byte (32Bit) and the third one references to Assem44.
...
The "total length in bytes" is defined as "1".
Now the total size of Assem127 Assem44 can be defined:
| Member Size | Member Reference | Size in Byte |
|---|
| 1st Member | empty | empty |
| 2nd Member | 32 | empty | 4 |
| 3rd Member | empty | Assem44 | 1 |
| Total length of Input Assembly Assem127 | 5 |
Configure Output assembly length
The output assembly length is defined in the field “O->T size” and field “O->T format” of Connection 9Connection9:
It can be decoded as follows:
...
When the "Size" of the O=>T default description is empty, the format "Format" has to be evaluated.
In this case, Assem126 is used to define the format. Go to the definition of Assem126, in the EDS:.
Since the field for the length is empty ($ Length in bytes), the Membe Member fields fields should be evaluated:
...
The Assemblys Member can be decoded as follows:
,,
,Assem34;
| Member Size | Member Reference |
|---|
| 1st Member | empty | empty |
| 2nd Member | empty | Assem34 |
This means, the first Member is reserved, the second one references to Assem34.
...
Now the total size of Assem126 can be defined:
| Member Size | Member Reference | Size in Byte |
|---|
| 1st Member | empty | empty |
| 2nd Member | empty | Assem34 | 1 |
| Total length of Input Assembly Assem126 | 1 |
Configure configuration assembly length
...
In this case, both Values ("Member Size" and "Member Reference") have to be evaluated.
The Assemblys Member informations can be read as follows:
| Member Size | Member Reference |
|---|
| 1st Member | 16 | Param121 |
| 2nd Member | 16 | empty |
The field of the first Member indicatedindicates, that it has a data length of 16 bit. It also has a Reference to Param121.
Go to the definition of Param121:.
The "data size in Byte" has defines a size of 2 Byte, with a default value of 1.
...
The user can also define a value between min. value and max. value.
Go back to the definition of Assem124, the .
The Second Member has a length of 16 and has no Reference entry. This means, all data are is defined with value 0.
| Member Size | Member Reference | Data (Hex) | Swap |
|---|
| 1st Member | 16 | Param101 | 01 00 | 01 00 |
| 2nd Member | 16 | empty | 00 00 | 00 00 |
| Total | 01 00 00 00 |
Configure cfg. #2 data segment
...
Here Assem123 is used to define the format. Go to the definition of Assem123:
This Assembly has a few more Members.
Please repeate the procedure mentioned in the first data segment for each Member.
...
The Size of this Member is definded with 1Bit and has a Reference to Param43:
.
The Size is defined with 1 Bit 1Bit (Boolean), the Default Value is 0 (Hex 0000):
...
When analyzing all Members and Parameters, the following table can be created:
