RTU Port: The communication port used
by TB

different Tags and then monitor differently the communication to each
equipment.
The Trigger must be a digital variable (DIV).
Condition: Condition of Tag ‘Trigger’ to start communication. Typically, you will work with
a permanent connection (Trigger in High or Low state). Or you can decide

Periodic events.
