Table 7- 13 Description of the parameters
Parallel In addition to an existing connection, e.g. to a controller (PLC), parallel diag-
nostics access via the XML channel is enabled. In the case of parallel access,
note that the XML application only has read access to the communication
Reliable transfer If the check box is selected, each frame (XML report) received from the user
application of the communication module is confirmed with a response frame.
If no response frame is received by the communication module within 10 sec-
onds, it sends the report to the application again. Reports that are not trans-
ferred are buffered on the communication module.
With this function, you can make sure that no frames from the communication
module are lost even if the connection is unstable (e.g. WLAN connection
aborts occasionally). This function also allows batch operation of the commu-
nication module when there is a connection to the user application at certain
times. The communication module collects the frames; these can be called up
using a PC application, if necessary.
XML channel (1-4) Specifies which XML channels are used for communication.
Below the check boxes, you can define the Ethernet ports of the respective
XML channels in the text boxes.
