Gw XML setup

Element: Setup

The XML setup starts with the tag Setup. The entire setup is contained in this element.

<Setup />

This element contains:

• Element: Device
  • At least one element of this type.
• Attribute: device
  • If more than one Device element available. This attribute specifies the id of the Device to use as current setup.

Element: Device

This element contains setup for a specific device. This might be Gw itself or some substation device or SCADA device.

This element contains:

• Element: Channel
• Element: Protocol
• Element: Objects
• Element: Interfaces
• Attribute: id
  • Used for element identification

Element: Channel

This element contains:

• Element: Port
• Element: Device
• Element: Objects

Element: Protocol

Element: TimeSync

Timesync interval and correction setup

<TimeSync isEnabled="true">
	<Interval unit="second">30</Interval>
	<Correction />
</TimeSync>

Element: Correction

Possible timesync correction types:

• Absolute
  • Timesync message shall always modified by this amount.
• ConnectionSpeed
  • Baudrate based(only when using serial port)

<Correction>
	<Absolute enabled="true" unit="millisecond">0</Absolute>
	<ConnectionSpeed enabled="true"/>
</Correction>

Element: Port

</Port>

Element: Objects

Element: Status

Master protocol has (connection)status DI object.

Has child Object element.

Element: Object

Depending on protocol the object belongs to (master/slave), has different child elements.

Possible child elements:

• Address
• Buffer
• Filter

Attribute: type

Defines object type.

Possible values:

• DI
• AI
• CN
• DO
• AO

Element: MxValue

Defines the object for current/latest value.

Child elements define default value, flags and time tag.

<MxValue id="DI_6_value">
	<Value>0</Value>
	<BitMask>
		<Bit>Invalid</Bit>
		<Bit>NotTopical</Bit>
	</BitMask>
</MxValue>

Element: Filter

Defines what is going to happen to the incoming measured value.

Element: Buffer

Defines a buffer object, with depth.

<Buffer id="DI_8_0_buf">
	<Depth>10</Depth>
</Buffer>

Element: Interfaces

Network setup

Has at least one Interface element.

<Interface name="eth0">
	<IpAddress>192.168.0.111</IpAddress>
	<Netmask>255.255.255.0</Netmask>
	<Gateway>192.168.0.1</Gateway>
</Interface>

VLAN
