Introduction
Program installation
When placed CD-ROM drive, select install different versions program: Demo, Development Runtime. Additionally, manuals available.
CEZAR Demo version
possible work with configuration tool Demo mode minutes with full program functionality. project into Runtime mode minutes test project. possible save project continue working with during unlimited number 30-minute sessions. license number required running Demo version.
CEZAR Development version
Development version contains configuration tool that used create project. license number required. minutes Runtime mode included testing project.
CEZAR Runtime version
Runtime version used project. license number required install Runtime version, dongle used project. number data items that used, 2048, determined dongle. CEZAR project created tested Development version. project then transferred where application run, using Project/ Transfer function.
Efficient communication
performance project depends many different parameters, which many driver-specific. Additionally, connected controller executes controller program prior communicating, which means that performance problems originate from controller program. further information refer driver controller documentation. also section Server.
Batch operations
Batch operations used optimize read write operations when many items written read from server. procedure BatchStart called controller enter BatchMode, calls BatchWrite BatchRead cached batch. Then BatchCommit BatchCommitAsync called perform actual write read operations server. When batch committed data items batch with same UpdateRate (which means that they same group) sent single write read command. more than 1000 items written read, they divided into commands 1000 items.
Beijer Electronics MA00600A
Introduction following procedures used controller object:
Procedure BatchStart Description Tells controller BatchMode. After that BatchWrite BatchRead called data items that written/read batch. Calling BatchStart more than once causes error. BatchStart cannot called while BatchCommitAsync operation progress server. When BatchCommit called batch operations performed synchronously, which means that function does return until values written/read. Note: error caused BatchStart been called. When BatchCommitAsync called batch operations performed asynchronously, which means that function returns immediately values written/read background. When server finished requested operations event BatchCommitAsyncComplete fired. Note: error caused BatchStart been called. batch operations since controller entered BatchMode cancelled. Note: error caused BatchStart been called.
BatchCommit
BatchCommit Async
BatchCancel
complete read operation performed this example.
Note: BatchCommit method automatically used recipes.
