5.3 Parameters for the Communications Protocols
Introduction
Once you have entered the communication processor in the con󹪝guration table, you must
supply parameters to it and its serial interface.
Parameter assignment
The term "parameter assignment" is used in the following to describe the setting of protocol-
speci󹪝c parameters. This is done using the CP 440: Point-to-Point Communication, Parameter
Assignment interface.
You start the programming interface by double-clicking the order number (CP 440) in the
con󹪝guration table or by selecting the CP 440 and selecting the Edit > Object Properties menu
command. The "Properties - CP 440" dialog box appears.
Click on the "Parameters" button to go to protocol selection. Set the protocol and double-click the
icon for the transmission protocol (an envelope). This takes you to the dialog for setting the
protocol-speci󹪝c parameters.
Further Information
The basic operation of the Point-to-Point Communication, Parameter Assignment
programming interface is the same for all communication processors and is self-explanatory. For
this reason, the parameter assignment interface is not described in detail here.
