Using Device or Port-specific Parameters

Note: Always seek the advice of Technical Support personnel for this product regarding undocumented features.

Any parameters placed under the [S7TCP] section of the Citect.ini file will apply globally to every device using the S7TCP driver. However, you can also set parameters for a specific device, or for every device connected to a specified port.

To do this, use one of the following section names within the Citect.ini file.

• [<Protocol>.<PortName>]

  where:

  <Protocol> is S7TCP

  <PortName> is the 'Port Name' defined for a specified port in the Ports grid.

  For example, any parameters set within the section [S7TCP.PrimaryPort1] will impact every device connected to the port defined as "PrimaryPort1" in the Ports grid.

• [<Protocol>.<PortName>.<DeviceName>]

  where:

  <Protocol> is S7TCP

  <PortName> is the name defined for the specified port in the Ports grid.

  <DeviceName> is the name defined for the specified device on the I/O Devices grid.

  For example, any parameters set within the section [S7TCP.PrimaryPort1.PrimaryIODev128] will only impact the device named "PrimaryIODev128".

The following list includes the parameters you can set at a device or port-specific level.

• ConnectionTimeout

• ReplyTimeout
