Q

Why does my modular EDS file not work?

A

To support modular functionality it is necessary that the “ProxyConnectN (N = 1, 2,…)” entries are defined in EDS section [Connection Manager] of communication Adapter and the corresponding “ProxiedConnectN” entries are defined in the same section of IO Module.

Examples:

Communication Adapter EDS

[Connection Manager]

   ProxyConnect1 =

      0x04010002,    $ trigger & transport

                  $  0-15  = supported transport classes (class 1)

                  $  16 = cyclic (1 = supported)

                  $  17 = change of state (0 = not supported)

                  $  18 = on demand (0 = not supported)

                  $  19-23 = reserved (must be zero)

                  $  24-27 = exclusive owner

                  $  28-30 = reserved (must be zero)

                  $  31 = client 0 (don't care for classes 0 and 1

      0x44240405, $   point/multicast & priority & realtime format

                  $   0     = O=>T fixed (1 = supported)

                  $   1     = O=>T variable (0 = not supported)

                  $   2     = T=>O fixed (1 = supported)

                  $   3     = T=>O variable (0 = not supported)
