AI-BUS
Purpose
AI-BUS instrument protocol collection driver
Open the plugin
Enter "Development Configuration → Collection Configuration", create a device and select "AI-BUS" 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. |
Optional data types: Boolean, Byte, Int16, UInt16, Int32, UInt32, Int64, UInt64, Float, Double, String, Decimal
Plugin properties
Protocol parameters
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Default station number | Default: 0; Range: 0~80; Fill in: text input. Set the default station number used when the station number is not specified separately in the variable address. |
Connection configuration
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| DTU ID | Fill in: text input. Sets the identifier used to identify the current device connection through the DTU service. |
Address rules
- The address uses decimal parameter codes from 0 to 255, and s=1;0 can be used to cover the instrument station numbers from 0 to 80.
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. |
Device debug
Enter "Development Configuration → Collection Configuration", select the current device and click "More Functions", then open "Debug".
Read and write
Perform read or write verification according to the current plugin address rules; confirm on-site security and permissions before writing.
Messages
Check the device's message sending and receiving and protocol logs to locate message format, connection and parsing problems.
Verify the configuration
Use a confirmed on-site address to perform reading. The return value, data type and byte order should be consistent with the point list; after the writable point is written, it should be read back according to on-site requirements.
Troubleshooting
- Address reading failed: Check the station number, register or node ID one by one according to the address rules on this page, and confirm that the data type is consistent with the device point list.
- 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.
