ETS5 Tab: Parameters

The parameter page of the ETS5 configuration software is available only after you have imported the CODESYS configuration file. The parameter page is where you define the sending behavior of the values.

Table 4. General Information

Default gateway

Default gateway for sending

Telegram rate

Sending rate of telegrams

Note

This restriction should be applied only in exceptional cases because this causes the reaction times to be extended.

Project title

In CODESYS, these parameters can be defined in the project information. They are imported to ETS5 in the XML file and displayed here.

Identifier: Checksum of the configuration

The checksum is also displayed in CODESYS and has to be identical to the checksum displayed here so that communication can be started.

Description



The objects are subdivided into groups of ten: 1–10, 11–20, 21–30, etc. A maximum of 1000 communication objects is possible.

Table 5. Object 1–10

<type>

Type of the object

The parameter cannot be changed.

Communication direction

Output (PLC to KNX): The value is sent from the CODESYS controller to the KNX object. For this communication direction, more settings are possible (Send condition, etc.)

Input (KNX to PLC): The value is sent to the CODESYS controller.

The parameter cannot be changed.

Send condition

no automatic sending: No sending when value is changed

send on change: Sending each time value is changed

send on difference: Sending when the change in value corresponds to at least the value for Sending difference

Sending difference

Requirement: Send condition is send on difference.

The value is passed when its change is at least this value.

Cyclic sending

disable: No cyclic sending

enable (seconds), Enable (minutes): Cyclic sending – regardless of the Send condition

Cycle time [hh:mm:ss]

Rate for cyclic sending (in hours/minutes/seconds)

Requirement: Cyclic sending is set to Enable (seconds).

Cycle time [hh:mm]

Rate for cyclic sending (in hours/minutes)

Requirement: Cyclic sending is set to Enable (minutes).
