ABB Comli

This comli plugin is used to access ABB’s COMLI compatible control system through serial port.

Parameters

ParameterDescription
Recv TimeoutThe time of the system waits for a device to respond to a command.
Send IntervalThe waiting time between sending each read/write command. Some serial devices may discard certain commands if they receive consecutive commands in a short period of time.
Send RetryThe number of retransmissions of the master request command when the slave returns with no response command.
Serial PortThe path to the serial device when using a serial connection, e.g., /dev/ttyS0 in Linux systems.
Stop BitsSerial connection parameter.
ParitySerial connection parameter.
Baud RateSerial connection parameter.
Data SizeSerial connection parameter.

#ENDIAN

Optional, byte order, applicable to data types int16/uint16/int32/uint32/float/int64/uint64/double, see the table below for details.

.LEN[H][L][D][E]

When the data type is STRING, .LEN is a required field, indicating the number of bytes the string occupies. Each register contains four storage methods: H, L, D, and E, as shown in the table below.

SymbolDescription
HOne register stores two bytes, with the high byte first
LOne register stores two bytes, with the low byte first
DOne register stores one byte, and it is stored in the low byte
EOne register stores one byte, and it is stored in the high byte
