====== Controller properties ====== The PLC has properties divided into groups: |Controller properties | | |Name |Free definable controller name for easy user identification | |Id |Identification string | |Device identifier |MAC address of the device or other identifier | |Assigned device type |Platform type on which the runtime is operating - see [[:en:mervis-ide:35-help:015-plc:005-attach_plc|attach PLC]] | |History runtime identification |String for unique identification of PLC as a data source for Mervis DB | |Application version |Application version eg 1.2 | |Stop on Excetion |Exception of prohibited program run - see [[:en:mervis-ide:35-help:015-plc:165-exceptions|exceptions from running the program]]| |Ignore Points |Ignoring HW points see [[:en:mervis-ide:35-help:015-plc:030-hw_points|hw points]] | | • PLC connection parameters | | |User name, Password |Credentials for SSCP connection | |SSCP address |Controller address on protocol SSCP, user for both TCP and serial communication | |Connection type |Select here how the PLC is connected to the IDE | | •• Connection parameters |Depend on Connection type; see data for TCP connection below | |Server (TCP) |PLC IP address to connect to | |TCP port (TCP) |Target TCP port number, default is 12346 | |SSL Enabled (TCP) |SSL protocol configuration | |URL (Proxy) |address of proxy server | |Proxy ID (Proxy) |ID for identification on the proxy server | |Serial Port (Serial) |port number | |Baud rate (Serial) |Baud rate | |Parity (Serial) |Parity | |Data bits (Serial) |Data bits | |Stop bits (Serial) |Stop bits | | • Variable backup | | |Enabled |Backup of variables to EEPROM enabled | |Periodic save enabled |Periodic saving according to Period enabled | |Period |How often are the variables saved periodically | |Trigger variable |Save variables on raising edge of this variable | | • Configuration parameters | | | •• Date/Time settings | | |Daylight offsets |Dates and times of daylight saving time transitions | |UTC offset [h] |time difference of the current time zone against UTC | |NTP server URL |server for time synchronisation | | •• Advanced Network Configuration | | | ••• Network Card | | |Name |ethX2 | |Enabled |Enable network card | |IP Configuration |None - no configuration, Static - static IP address, DHCP - automatic IP address assignment | |IP Address |IP address of the controller | |Network mask |Submet mask of the PLC's network | | •• Network settings | | |Use DHCP |Use automatic IP address assignment | |IP address |IP address of the controller | |Network mask |Submet mask of the PLC's network | |Gateway |Default gateway | |DNS |DNS server address | |Enable UDP configuration |Enable configuration service over UDP | |Enable Web Server |Web server in the PLC is active | |Web Server Port |TCP port where the web server is listening, default 80 | | ••• Mervis DB Parameters | | |Enabled |History data will be stored to a Mervis database | |URL |Database address / URL | |Communication period [min] |How often the DB will be internal buffer sent to database | |User Name, Password |Credentials to access the database | | ••• Proxy parameters | | |Enabled |Communication to a Proxy server enabled | |Proxy ID |ID to connect to Proxy | |URL |Address of the proxy server | |Keep-alive period |Interval of periodic life-check datagrams (reccommended 10s) | | ••• SSCP Parameters | | |SSCP address |controller address on protocol SSCP, user for both TCP and serial communication | |Number of registrable groups |Number of groups of variables in the SSCP communication | |Number of variables in group |Maximum number of registrable variables in a group | |Enable TCP |Enable TCP communication for SSCP | |TCP Server Port |TCP port number, default 12346 | |Enable Serial |Enable serial communication for SSCP | |Serial Server Port |Number of COM port for SSCP communication | |Serial Port Baudrate |Serial communication baudrate for SSCP | |Enable SSL Server |Enable SSL | |SSL Server Port |Port number for secured communication, default 12347 | | •••• User definition | | |Username (Engineering) |User with full control over the PLC | |Password (Engineering) |Password | |Username (Full control) |User with variable read/write access | |Password (Full control) |Password | |Username (Read only) |User with variable read access | |Password (Read only) |Password | | •• Storage | | | ••• SD Card | | | •• Common | | | • LCD Parameters - integrated HMI editor | | |Backlight Off Time |LCD backlight off time delay | |Definition path |Path to the LCD menu definition in the engineer's PC | |Device template |LCD menu template | |Scrolling speed [1-30] |How fast will the menu items scroll if buttons pressed permanently | | • OPC parameters | | |Refresh timeout [ms] |update rate | |Max data flow [kb/s] |max data flow from PLC to OPC | | • Web Parameters | | |Definition Directory |site directory path | |Device Template |web site template | Every property in the property grid has, apart from its value, also a symbol indicating if the property is bound to the configuration or not. If the symbol is missing, the property is not depending on the configuration in any respect. A mark indicates that a property depends on the configuration directly, and * has a default value (red mark with white square inside), or * its value is defined in the parent configuration (pink mark), or * its value is redefined in the current configuration (red mark). A green mark indicates indirect dependency on a configuration - this means that the property does not influence any other settings or behaviour of the system, such as a Note (which is just a plain text). {{:en:mervis-ide:35-help:plc_pg.png}}
