TS550 frame collection
TS550 industrial equipment address read and write driver
Open the plugin
Enter “Development Configuration → Collection Configuration”, create a device and select “TS550Master” in “Collection Plugin”.
Supported channels and data types
| Channel type | Pre-configuration check |
|---|---|
| TCP Client | Confirm network reachability of the device IP, port, and gateway to the device. |
| TCP server | Confirm that the local listening address and port are available, and allow on-site devices to actively connect to the gateway. |
| Serial Port | Confirm that the serial port is not occupied by other programs and maintains the same baud rate, data bits, stop bits and parity bits as the device. |
| UDP | Confirm the local binding address, port and firewall rules, and check the source of the packet. |
Optional data types: Boolean, Byte, Int16, UInt16, Int32, UInt32, Int64, UInt64, Float, Double, String, Decimal
This list describes types allowed by the plugin editor. Address width, arrays, string length and read/write restrictions still follow this page; it does not mean that every address supports every type.
Address rules
- Start with address
1. Reads return the fixed response; derive engineering-value offsets/types from the device data layout. Writes are unsupported.
Device debug
Enter “Development Configuration → Collection Configuration”, select the current device then open “Protocol Debug” at the top of the workspace.
Functions
| Function | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Read and write | Read a confirmed point and write only to an approved test point. |
| Messages | View sent and received frames, protocol fields, and error details. |
Verify the configuration
Use address 1 as the starting example and compare the first data byte with the raw response. Map engineering values only from the device data layout.
Troubleshooting
- Reads return the fixed response; changing the address alone does not prove channel selection. Writes are unsupported; matching the first byte does not validate every engineering value.
- The serial port device does not respond: Confirm that the serial port is not occupied, and check the baud rate, data bits, stop bits and parity bits.
