    What error messages does the Yokogawa DX Serial Driver produce? Overview The Yokogawa DX Serial Driver provides a reliable way to connect Yokogawa DX Serial devices to OPC client applications; including HMI, SCADA, Historian, MES, ERP, and countless custom applications. It is intended for use with Yokogawa Data Acquisition and Data Recorder devices that support RS232 or RS422 communications.

  • Page 5: Setup

    This requires that a data bit setting of 8 be used. RS-232 and RS-422/485 Operation Yokogawa DX Serial devices can support either RS-232 or RS-422/485 operation. The mode that is used depends on the configuration of the OPC Server project.

  • Page 6: Channel Properties - General

    Yokogawa DX Serial Driver Channel Properties — General This server supports the use of simultaneous multiple communications drivers. Each protocol or driver used in a server project is called a channel. A server project may consist of many channels with the same communications driver or with unique communications drivers.
  • Page 7 Yokogawa DX Serial Driver Note: With the server's online full-time operation, these properties can be changed at any time. Utilize the User Manager to restrict access rights to server features, as changes made to these properties can temporarily disrupt communications.
  • Page 8 Yokogawa DX Serial Driver None:  This option does not toggle or assert control lines. DTR:  This option asserts the DTR line when the communications port is opened and remains on. RTS:  This option specifies that the RTS line is high if bytes are available for transmission. After all buffered bytes have been sent, the RTS line is low.

    Yokogawa DX Serial Driver Inter-Device Delay: Specify the amount of time the communications channel waits to send new requests to the next device after data is received from the current device on the same channel. Zero (0) disables the delay.

  • Page 12: Device Properties - Scan Mode

    Yokogawa DX Serial Driver ID:  This property specifies the device's station / node / identity / address. The type of ID entered depends on the communications driver being used. For many drivers, the ID is a numeric value. Drivers that support a Numeric ID provide users with the option to enter a numeric value whose format can be changed to suit the needs of the application or the characteristics of the selected communications driver.

  • Page 13: Device Properties - Timing

    Yokogawa DX Serial Driver Respect Client-Specified Scan Rate:  This mode uses the scan rate requested by the client. Request Data No Faster than Scan Rate:  This mode specifies the maximum scan rate to be used. The valid range is 10 to 99999990 milliseconds. The default is 1000 milliseconds.

  • Page 14: Device Properties - Auto-Demotion

    Yokogawa DX Serial Driver default timeout for most serial drivers is based on a baud rate of 9600 baud or better. When using a driver at lower baud rates, increase the timeout to compensate for the increased time required to acquire data.
