Associated with: Hilscher Boards, Hilscher Scanners, and Hilscher Points
The Source attribute is common to many Status displays. The attribute indicates the location at which the item resides. The information shown varies, depending on the item.
The Source attribute displays the value Undefined if the item’s configuration is incomplete, in so far as the device with which the item is associated has not yet been specified.
For items on the Hilscher driver, the Source attribute displays this information:
| Hilscher Item | Source Attribute | |
|---|---|---|
|
Board |
Format |
Board <Number> |
|
Example: |
Board 2 (For a Hilscher card with a board number of 2.) |
|
|
IO Image Scanner |
Format |
Board <Number> |
|
Example: |
Board 2 (For a Hilscher IO Image Scanner that is configured to scan Board number 2.) |
|
|
IO Image Analog Point |
Format |
Board <Number>:<Point Type>.<Address>.<Data Size> |
|
Example: |
Board 2:AG IN.4.2 (For a Hilscher IO Image Analog point on Board number 2. The point starts at byte address 4 and is 2 bytes long. AG IN indicates that the point is an input point (an output point is indicated by AG OUT).) |
|
|
IO Image Digital Point |
Format |
Board <Number>:<Point Type>.<Address>.<Offset> |
|
Example: |
Board 2:DG3 IN.5.4 (For a Hilscher 3-bit IO Image Digital point on Board number 2. The point starts at byte address 5, bit offset 4. DGn IN indicates that the point is an input point (an output point is indicated by DGn OUT, where n is the number of bits).) |
|
|
Profibus FMS Scanner |
Format |
Board <Number>: <Communications Reference>, Object <Object Index> |
|
Example: |
Board 3: 15, Object 100 (For a Hilscher Profibus FMS Scanner that is configured to scan Board number 3. The FMS device has a comms reference of 15 and the object being scanned has an Object Index of 100.) |
|
|
Profibus FMS Analog Point |
Format |
Board <Number>: <Communications Reference>, Object <Object Index>: <Point Type>.<Address>.<Data Size> |
|
Example: |
Board 3: 15, Object 100: AG OUT.8.4 (For a Hilscher Profibus FMS Analog point on Board 3. The point starts at byte address 8 and is 4 bytes long. AG OUT indicates that the point is an output point (an input point is indicated by AG IN). Scanner details as per the above example.) |
|
|
Profibus FMS Digital Point |
Format |
Board <Number>: <Communications Reference>, Object <Object Index>: <Point Type>.<Address>.<Offset> |
|
Example: |
Board 3: 15, Object 100: DG1 OUT.12.7 (For a Hilscher 1-bit Profibus FMS Digital point on Board number 3. The point starts at byte address 12, bit offset 7. DGn OUT indicates that the point is an output point (an input point is indicated by DGn IN, where n is the number of bits).) |
