1.4 Using ProSoft Configuration Builder
ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) provides a quick and easy way to manage
gateway configuration files customized to meet your application needs. PCB is
not only a powerful solution for new configuration files, but also allows you to
import information from previously installed (known working) configurations to
new projects.
1.4.1 Setting Up the Project
To begin, start ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB). If you have used other
Windows configuration tools before, you will find the screen layout familiar.
ProSoft Configuration Builder’s (PCB's) window consists of a tree view on the
left, an information pane, and a configuration pane on the right side of the
window. When you first start PCB, the tree view consists of folders for Default
Project and Default Location, with a Default Module in the Default Location
folder. The following illustration shows the PCB window with a new project.

1.4.6 Using the CommonNet Data Map
The Data Map section allows you to copy data between areas in the gateway's
internal database.
You can copy a maximum of 100 registers per Data Map command, and you can
configure a maximum of 200 separate copy commands.
You can copy data from the error or status tables in upper memory to internal
database registers in the User Data memory area.
You can rearrange the byte and/or word order during the copy process. For
example, by rearranging byte or word order, you can convert floating-point values
to the correct format for a different protocol.
You can also use the Data Map to condense widely dispersed data into one
contiguous data block, making it easier to access.

0 to highest Status Data address
This field specifies the beginning internal database register address for the copy
operation. This address can be any valid address in the User Data Area or the
Status Data Area of the gateway.
To Address
0 to 3999
This parameter specifies the beginning destination register address for the copy
operation. This address must always be within the User Data registers area.
Take care to specify a destination address that will not overwrite data that has
been stored in memory by one of the communication protocols running on the
gateway.
Register Count
1 to 100
This parameter specifies the number of registers to copy.
Swap Code
NO CHANGE, WORD SWAP, WORD AND BYTE SWAP, BYTE SWAP
You may need to swap the order of the bytes in the registers during the copy
process in order to change the alignment of bytes between dissimilar protocols.
This parameter is helpful when dealing with floating-point or other multi-register
values, as there is no standard method of storage of these data types in slave
devices.

Delay Preset
This parameter sets an interval for each Data Map copy operation. The value you
put for the Delay Preset is not a fixed amount of time. It is the number of firmware
scans that must transpire between copy operations.
The firmware scan cycle can take a variable amount of time, depending on the
level of activity of the protocol drivers running on the ProLinx gateway and the
level of activity on the gateway's communication ports. Each firmware scan can
take from 1 to several milliseconds to complete. Therefore, Data Map copy
operations cannot be expected to happen at regular intervals.
If multiple copy operations (several rows in the Data map section) happen too
frequently or all happen in the same update interval, they could delay the process
scan of the gateway protocols, which could result in slow data updates or missed
data on communication ports. To avoid these potential problems, you should set
the Delay Preset to different values for each row in the Data Map section and set
them to higher, rather than lower, numbers.
For example, Delay Preset values below 1000 could begin to cause a noticeable
delay in data updates through the communication ports. And you should not set
all Delay Presets to the same value. Instead, use different values for each row in
the Data Map such as 1000, 1001, and 1002 or any other different Delay Preset
values you like. This will prevent the copies from happening concurrently and
prevent possible process scan delays.

This section provides information required to configure a slave application with
the gateway.
2.1.1 Enabled
YES or NO
Enables or disables the primary port. If the port is not enabled (No), then the
gateway will not use the port. If the port is enabled (Yes), the gateway will
emulate an IEC 60870-101 slave device on the port.
2.1.2 Time DB Offset
-1, or 0 to 3994
This parameter defines the location in the database where the time maintained
for the IEC protocol is copied. This time is updated whenever a time
synchronization command is received from the host and continually as the
program runs. If the parameter is set to -1, the time will not be placed in the
database.

2.1.3 Disable Time Sync Events
YES or NO
This feature can be used when the Master receives the event timestamp with
only minutes and milliseconds information for each event message (CP24 time
type). If the parameter is set to N, the spontaneous time sync events will be
generated to indicate the change of hour. If this parameter is set to Y, then the
spontaneous time sync event messages are not generated to indicate the
change of hour.
2.1.4 Data Link Address Value
0 to 65535
This parameter defines the Data Link Address for the emulated device on the
gateway. This address identifies the gateway on the network along with the
common address of ASDU.
2.1.5 Data link address length
0, 1, or 2
This parameter specifies the number of octets used for the data link address.
This parameter must be set the same for all devices on the network. A value of 0
is only valid when the balanced mode is used. If unbalanced mode is used, a
value of 1 or 2 must be used.
2.1.6 Common Address of ASDU Val
0 to 65535
This parameter specifies the common address of the ASDU (section address) for
access to data in the gateway. There is only one value entered for access to all
data in the gateway.
Refer to ASDU Configuration for more information on Application Service Data
Unit configuration.

update times between 1 millisecond and 49.7 days. Set this parameter to 0 to
disable this feature.
2.1.11 Use ACTTERM with Set Point
Y - YES or N - NO
This parameter determines if an ACTTERM will be sent. If the parameter is set to
Y
ES, then set point commands will issue an ACTTERM when the command is
complete. If the parameter is set to N
O, ACTCON is the last response to a set
point command.
2.1.12 Use ACTTERM with Step
Y - YES or N - NO
This parameter determines if an ACTTERM will be sent. If the parameter is set to
Y
ES, then step commands will issue an ACTTERM when the command is
complete. If the parameter is set to N
O, ACTCON is the last response to a step
command.
2.1.13 Single char ACK F0, 1 or 3
Y - YES or N - NO
If set to Yes, a single character ACK (0xE5) will be sent instead of a fixed length
ACK (secondary function code 0) in response to a primary link function code 0, 1
or 3 if there is no access demand for class 1 data (ACD=1). If set to No, the fixed
length ACK will be sent.

Example I - Freeze Start Type
If the gateway should send the counter points on the hourly turn around time and
also 45 minutes later, the Mode A parameters should be configured as follows:
So the gateway would send events as follows (Hours:Minutes:Seconds):
17:00:00
17:45:00
18:00:00
18:45:00
19:00:00
19:45:00
…

Example II - Freeze Start Type
If the gateway powers up with the following date and time settings on its internal
clock:
03/25/2004 18:07:42
And if you configure the Interval For Freeze parameter to 15 seconds, as follows:
The Freeze Start Type parameter determines when the gateway will begin
sending these messages, as follows:
If the Freeze Start Type is set to: Then Messages will start being sent at:
D 03/26/2004 00:00:00 and every 15 seconds thereafter
H 03/25/2004 19:00:00 and every 15 seconds thereafter
M 03/25/2004 18:08:00 and every 15 seconds thereafter
Once message transmission begins, the gateway will freeze and transmit counter values at whatever interval has been configured using the Interval For Freeze parameter. In this example, that would be every 15-seconds.
2.1.18 Interval for Freeze
0 to 65535 seconds
Freeze Start Type and Interval for Freeze are used if Mode A operation is to be
used for the counter freeze operation. If they are not used, the gateway will
operate in Mode D.

2.1.19 Set Priority Queues
YES or NO
This section defines priority queues for the gateway. You can assign priorities to
data types that return events so that events of some data types will be returned
before events of other data types. If this feature is utilized, each data type must
be assigned a unique index from 0 to 7. The lower the index, the higher the
priority (0=highest priority, 7=lowest priority).
Events of ASDUs with lower numbers will be reported before events from other
ASDUs with higher numbers.
Note: In some configurations, depending on the total number of events generated for all data
types, setting priorities may cause some events to be lost, as the event buffers for low priority
queues may overflow before their events can be reported.
For more information, refer to Event Priority (page 31).
