Device Group Parameters

For the following parameters, [<unit>] represents the Citect.ini section name that is defined with the following precedence:

• Device group: as defined in the Address field of the I/O Device. (This section is not recommended. You should choose the next section instead.)

• Protocol.DeviceGroup: Protocol is DNPR, DeviceGroup defined in the ‘Address’ field of the I/O Device.

• Protocol.PortName: Protocol is DNPR, PortName is defined in the ‘Port Name’ field of the Port.

• Unit_x where x is the value in the Number field on the I/O Device. (This section is not recommended. You should choose the next section instead.)

• Protocol.PortName.UnitName: Protocol is DNPR, PortName is defined in the ‘Port Name’ field of the Port, UnitName is defined in the ‘Unit Name’ field of the IODevice.

Example:

• ‘Address’ field of the IODevice: 128 SITERTU

• ‘Number’ field of the IODevice: 10

• ‘Unit Name’ field of the IODevice: PrimaryIODev128

• ‘Port Name’ field of the Port: PrimaryPort1

INI section names:

• [SITERTU] (Not recommended anymore)

• [DNPR.SITERTU]

• [DNPR.PrimaryPort1]

• [Unit_10] (Not recommended anymore)

• [DNPR. PrimaryPort1. PrimaryIODev128]

These parameters are used to configure behavior that will only apply to units with the same device group, in the Citect.ini section called <unit>.

They are as follows:
