The following list of variables belonging to the Config.ini configuration file's [SYSTEM] section pertain to remote procedure calls and the RPC Manager.
Indicates whether the same RPC service should be used for all instances of the Allen-Bradley tag type.
If set to 1 (true), then the same RPC service will be used for all instances of the Allen-Bradley tag type.
If set to 0 (false), then the same RPC service will not be used for all instances of the Allen-Bradley tag type (default).
Default: ABSharedRPC = 0
Indicates the text to be used in the alarm list's Area column in the event that the RPC server is lost.
Default: AlmSrvLossArea = System
Indicates the text to be used in the alarm list's Message column in the event that the RPC server is lost.
Default: AlmSrcLossMessage = Error in connection from client ^C to server ^S
Indicates the text to be used to build an alarm active message in the event that the RPC server is lost.
Default: AlmSrvLossMsgAct = Connection from ^C to ^S lost
Indicates the text to be used to build an alarm normal message in the event that the RPC server is lost.
Default: AlmSrvLossMsgNorm = Connection from ^C to ^S working
Indicates the text to be used to build an alarm registered message in the event that the RPC server is lost.
Default: AlmSrvLossMsgReg = Connection from ^C to ^S
Indicates the text to be used in the operator column of the alarm list in the event that the RPC server is lost.
Default: AlmSrvLossOperator = System
Indicates the alarm priority in the event that the RPC server is lost.
If AlmSrvLossPriority is set to a negative number, no tone will sound in the event that the RPC server is lost.
Default: AlmSrvLossPriority = –1
Indicates the alarm type in the event that the RPC server is lost.
Default: AlmSrvLossType = 0
Indicates whether or not the system should automatically update a tag when it has been added to the system (i.e. when the "OK" button on the tag properties folder has been clicked).
Related Variables: The AutoUpdateTagModify variable indicates whether or not the system should automatically update a tag when it has been modified.
Default: AutoUpdateTagAddition = 0
Indicates whether or not the system should automatically update a tag when it has been modified (i.e. when the "OK" button on the tag properties folder has been clicked). If the tag is locked on the local workstation, and the AutoUpdateTagModify variable has been set to "1" (true), users will be prevented from modifying the tag until it has been updated.
Related Variables: The AutoUpdateTagAddition variable indicates whether or not the system should automatically update a tag when it has been added to the system.
Default: AutoUpdateTagModify = 0
Indicates whether or not the same RPC service will be used for all instances of DDE.
If set to 0 (false), the same RPC is not be used for all instances of DDE (default).
If set to 1 (true), the same RPC service is used for all instances of DDE.
Default: DDESharedRPC = 0
Indicates the number of seconds a VTS driver waits before trying to resend data once an attempt has failed.
Default: DriverSetupDelay = 60
Indicates whether drivers should or should not be permitted to connect to clients or servers running versions of VTS that are lower than VTS 4.34.
If set to 0 (false), drivers are not permitted to connect to clients or servers running versions of VTS that are lower than VTS 4.34. This is the faster of the two options.
If set to 1 (true), drivers are permitted to connect to clients or servers running versions of VTS that are lower than VTS 4.34.
Note: If the client and the server do not have the same list of driver tags due to area filtering, DriverSyncVersion should be set to 0 (false).
Default: DriverSyncVersion = 0
Indicates whether or not the Log Manager is to be registered as a service.
If set to 0 (false), then the Log Manager is not registered as a service.
If set to 1 (true), then the Log Manager is registered as a service (default).
Default: LogRPCEnable = 1
Indicates whether or not the same RPC service should be used for all instances of the Modicon tag type that are connected to the same serial port or TCP/IP connection. ModiconPortSharedRPC now allows Modbus devices that share the same serial port or TCP/IP connection to be grouped with the same device, enabling Modbus I/O which use different radio channels to be polled from separate PCs.
If set to 0 (false), then the same RPC service is not used for all instances of the Modicon tag type that are connected to the same serial port or TCP/IP connection (default).
If set to 1 (true), then the same RPC service is used for all instances of the Modicon tag type that are connected to the same serial port or TCP/IP connection.
Related Variables: Setting ModiconPortSharedRPC equal to 1 (true) will override the behaviour of the ModiconSharedRPC Config.ini variable (see below).
Default: ModiconPortSharedRPC = 0
Indicates whether or not the same RPC service should be used for all instances of the Modicon tag type.
If set to 0 (false), then the same RPC service is not used for all instances of the Modicon tag type (default).
If set to 1 (true), then the same RPC service is used for all instances of the Modicon tag type.
Related Variables: ModiconSharedRPC can be overridden using the ModiconPortSharedRPC variable (see above).
Default: ModiconSharedRPC = 0
Indicates whether or not the same RPC service should be used for all instances of the Omron tag type.
If set to 0 (false), then the same RPC service is not used for all instances of the Omron tag type (default).
If set to 1 (true), then the same RPC service is used for all instances of the Omron tag type.
Default: OmronSharedRPC = 0
Indicates whether or not configuration database transactions should be logged.
If set to 0 (false), then remote configuration database transactions are not logged.
If set to 1 (true), then remote configuration database transactions are logged.
Default: RemCftTransLog = 0
Indicates the configuration file in which registering information is stored. RPCExternalConfig can be set to one of three options:
|
Value |
Description |
|
0 |
Config.ini |
|
1 |
<ServiceName>.ini (default) |
|
2 |
<WorkstationName>.ini |
Default: RPCExternalConfig = 1
Enables multiple serial ports to share the same semaphore. Doing so prevents more than one driver from using more than one of the serial ports in the group at a time; thereby preventing two drivers on different serial ports connected to different radios sharing the same frequency from colliding.
To allow serial ports to share the same semaphore, set SerialShareSemaphore to "1" (the default is "0"). The result is that all serial ports with the same Area parameter will use the same semaphore.
Default: SerialShareSemaphore = 0
