Miscellaneous
Info

Relevant Notes
NOTE: Not W2K Compatible due to 3rd party constraints.



CABLING:



The ELPM and EIM Module support either one of these

connections:

Coaxial 10 Base2 (Thinnet) Cable Connector OR

10 Base5 Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) 15 pin

connector



NOTE: Default factory setting uses Coaxial connection.



CONFIGURATION LIMITATIONS:



Maximum CHANNELS Supported: 8

Maximum DEVICES Supported: 31



Performance:



The driver performance was tested with the following testbed:



PC: Pentium with 133 Mhz, with 3COM Etherlink

III Adaptor

HardDisk: 840MB

RAM: 32MB



FILE TYPE POLL RECORD LENGTH POLLTIME PERIOD NO.OF MSG/SEC

Structures 1 Maximum 0 16

Structures 1 Maximum 0 1 40

Basic Types 1 Maximum 0 5 15

Basic Types 1 Maximum 0 1 22



Notes:



1) The average number of messages per second was calculated

after at least 1000 messages had been sent.

2) For structures, even though driver allows user to configure

a length greater than 1, the protocol does not allow all

the structures to be read in with one command. The driver

has to send one command each to read I/O and configuration

parameters.



As an example, if a PID1 type poll record is configured

with maximum length (32) and configuration parameters are to

be read every poll time, the driver has to send 64 message

(32 * 2) to update the entire poll record.

3) We ran a test with one device and one structure type poll

record per channel (4 channels). All poll records had a

poll time of 0 and period was 1. The average number of

messages per second was 76 (19 messages per channel per

second).

Notes:

1. With Ver 6.10, the maximum length for I-Type has been

reduced to 224 (from 244 in Ver. 6.00). This is because

if a length of 244 is used, it is found that the last 20

values are not correct.

2. The total maximum number of structures allowed on PLC is

250.

History

Revision History
Reason for 6.20a Release on 4/10/98:
Added multiple messaging to the existing I/O Driver to
improve performance on systems that have multiple PLCs.

Reason for 6.20b Release on 9/15/98:
Corrected problem with negative values not being read correctly.

Reason for 6.20c Release on 1/12/99:
Corrected problem of not being able to read/write ASCII data.

Reason for 6.20d Release on 3/24/99:
Updated driver electronic book and on-line help.

Reason for 6.20e Release on 5/26/05:
* Updated documentation for branding, and fixed documentation spelling of "ALMHYST" to "ALHYST" for the address parameter.
