Exchange Mode; Starting Communication; Rtu Simulation And Monitor Mode; Master Simulation - Applied Systems Engineering ASE2000 User Manual

9. Exchange Mode

Exchange Mode, if not the current mode, can be entered by selecting Exchange Mode from the
Mode pull-down menu.
Exchange Mode uses the views and displays presented in the prior sections, primarily the
Exchange View. Please refer to discussions on the Exchange View for more information.
For those familiar with ASE2000 Version 1 operation, Exchange Mode is, effectively, Version 1
operation.

9.1. Starting Communication

Exchange mode works in one of three Communication Modes: Master Simulation, RTU
Simulation, and Monitor.

9.1.1. RTU Simulation and Monitor Mode

For RTU Simulation and Line Monitor operation, communication is started by selecting this
target from the tool-bar line.

9.1.2. Master Simulation

In Master Simulation mode, four targets are displayed.
causes the currently selected exchange to be transmitted once. The ASE2000 will wait for a
response and then stop. This option does not appear if no exchange is selected.
causes the currently selected exchange to be transmitted once immediately and then again
at every time interval thereafter, as defined by the Frequency field in the Exchange Properties
menu. A new request may be delayed while the ASE2000 waits for a response to a previous
request. This option does not appear if no exchange is selected.
causes all messages with the Transmit flag set to be transmitted at their specified frequencies.
A message is first sent at a time as defined by its Frequency. For example, if the Transmit flag
is set on two messages, one with a frequency of 2.0 seconds and the other with 5.0 seconds,
then the first message will be sent 2.0 seconds after this target is selected.
