Port-specific Parameters

Note: At times during the life cycle of a driver, circumstances may call for the creation of specific citect.ini parameters that remain undocumented. Always seek the advice of Technical Support regarding the possible implementation of undocumented parameters before you make any changes to a citect.ini file.

Any parameters placed under the [IEC870IP] section of the Citect.ini file will apply globally to every device using the IEC870IP driver. However, you can also set parameters for every device connected to a specified port.

To do this, use the following section name within the Citect.ini file.

[<Protocol>.<PortName>]

Where:

• <Protocol> is IEC870IP

• <PortName> is the 'Port Name' defined for a specified port.

For example, any parameters set within the section [IEC870IP.PrimaryPort1] will impact every device connected to the port defined as "PrimaryPort1".

The following list includes the parameters you can set for all devices on a specific port.
