Device Driver: TSAP

The TSAP driver is configured similarly to the TCP/IP driver, with additional parameters TSAP. TSAP messages have specific headers automatically managed by Sym3 using the TSAPServerName and TSAPClientName parameters. The Sym3 header and body are encapsulated inside the TSAP message body.

Configuration

The configuration options available are:

Name	Type	Description
Server	Boolean	Flag to indicate whether this is a server or client.
IPAddress	IP address/host name	Server IP address or name. Valid for client only.
Port	port number	port number Indicates the port to listen on, or connect to.
ReconnectTime	Unsigned Integer	Default = 5 seconds Time between client reconnection attempts (seconds). Valid for client only.
NetworkByteOrder	Boolean	Default = False Identifies the endian order of the message header numeric values. The device IO contents are treated as single bytes therefore not swapped.
TSAPServerName	String	Name of the TSAP server. (must match the server name configured on the PLC side)
TSAPClientName	String	(ignored if Server = True) Name of the TSAP client. (must match the server name configured on the PLC side)
Autoconnect	Boolean	(optional true if not specified). Default = True If false, Sym3 won’t connect to this device until an explicit call to ConnectDevice() is made from the script.

Examples

Server Example

To configure Sym3 as the server

server = true
port = 16000
TSAPServerName = Sym3

Client Example

To configure Sym3 as the client a TSAP Server named “PLC1”

server = False
ipaddress = 192.168.25.56
port = 16000
reconnecttime = 10
NetworkByteOrder = false
TSAPServerName = PLC1
TSAPClientName = Sym3
