− the channel name on a data interface must be unique.
− the channel name does not have a specific significance for
SINEC H1 layer 7.
• If address stage 1 and address stage 2 are not specified, then
SIMADYN D is a server as far as the associated STF utility is
concerned and defines a local variable. The channel name is part of
the associated variable name.

• Address stage 1
− can only be used in conjunction with address stage 2.

the associated STF utility is concerned.
− address stage 1 is interpreted as symbolic name of the application
association, via which the STF utility is handled. Application
associations are configured with SINEC NML; they define the
communication paths between the applications. The application
association name is the only assignment between the SIMADYN D
software and the NML software.
• Address stage 2

− address stage 2 is the remote variable name for the
communications partner (server).

defines a variable. The variable name has the following structure:
"Channelnamesubracknamepd"
• Channel name
Channel name as configured at AT, AR, US (refer to the Chapter
Connections of the communication blocks). It is precisely 8 characters
long. If the configured channel name is shorter, then it is made up to 8
characters using "_".

is precisely 6 characters long. If the configured name is shorter, then it
