B.25 SetDeviceConfig
This is a function that can be used to set any element of CX-Server device
configuration. All the data is passed in textual form. This function is for
advanced users only.
Example:
Device = "PLC1"
Section = "NET"
Entry = "IPADDR"
Setting = "10.0.0.1"
bValid = CXServer.SetDeviceConfig Device, Section,
Entry, Setting
Only the following Section, Entry and Setting parameter value combinations
are currently supported:
• Section = "ADDRESS", Entry = "DNA", Setting = "0"..Setting = "255" -
this can be used to set the network number
• Section = "ADDRESS", Entry = "DA1", Setting = "0"..Setting = "255" - this
can be used to set the node number
• Section = "ADDRESS", Entry = "UNIT", Setting = "0"..Setting = "255" -
this can be used to set the unit number
• Section = "ADDRESS", Entry = "IPADDR", Setting = "0.0.0.0"..Setting =
"255.255.255.255" - this can be used to set the Ethernet IP address
Other parameter values may work, but should only be used on Omron advice.
B.26 GetDeviceConfig
This is a function that can be used to read any element of the CX-Server
device configuration. All the data is passed (and received) in textual form. This
function is for advanced users only.
Example:
Dim Setting
Device = "PLC1"
Section = "NET"
Entry = "IPADDR"
Setting = CXServer.GetDeviceConfig Device, Section,
Entry
Currently supported parameter values are as described for the
SetDeviceConfig method.
Note: The return Boolean value, bValid, is set to True if no errors were detected.
However, this does not necessarily mean that all the parameters used were
valid or appropriate for the PLC being used.
Note: This method does not interpret or verify the data passed, and it is possible to
pass invalid data that will prevent a device communicating. Care should be
taken to ensure that all data passed is valid. This method should not be used
while a PLC is open and communicating.
Note: The return Boolean value, bValid, is set to True if no errors were detected.
However, this does not necessarily mean that all the parameters used were
valid or appropriate for the device being used.
