The configuration details are as follows:
•URL
Set "URL" using the IP address and SOAP path set in
SmartServer2.0.
If the IP address of
SmartServer is "192.168.1.222" and the URL path is "WSDL/iLON100.WSDL", set "URL" to "http://192.168.1.222/WSDL/iLON100.WSDL".
•Maximum number of items in a packet
This is the number of LON points that communicate at one time with
SOAP/XML. In the current version, please set it to 24.
•Communication Method
"Perform read communication asynchronously"
Communication with
SmartServer is always performed in a separate thread, and when an actual read request is received, the value in the cache is returned. The update cycle follows the "Update Time" setting.
"Perform read communication synchronously"
Communicates with SmartServer in the same way as normal PLC communication. When an actual read request is received, it actually communicates with SmartServer and returns the value. The update cycle follows the "Update cycle" setting of the folder.
•Update time
This is the update cycle setting used when "Perform read communication asynchronously" is selected.
5.Perform a connection test to check the connection
If a message such as "Connection OK" is displayed, the connection is confirmed to be OK.
Tag configuration
For this device, instead of setting tags by specifying addresses like other companies' PLCs, you set the path of the LON point that communicates with SmartServer2.0.
For example, you can right-click LAN-SmartServer-Net-LON-iLON App in the tree as shown below and select the Overview-Data Points menu to display a list of points with which communication is possible on SmartServer2.0.
If you want to communicate with "iLON App Digital Output 1" and "nviClaValue_1" in the list, set the path to "LON side tag name" as follows.
Net/LON/iLON App/Digital Output 1/nviClaValue_1
Please specify the value conversion filter (SNVT) according to the situation.
