Installation and configuration

Creation

Serial Main Connection

This connector uses a serial connection and requires the following input during element creation:

    • IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.
    • IP port: The IP port of the device, by default 2050.
    • Bus address: The bus of the card on the chassis. The default, UU.PP (Hex), shows the expected structure of the address, where UU is the chassis ID, and the PP is the card position, both in Hex.
