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

Other child elements required for Interface when using VLAN
