Block drivers:
The upper window displays the folders of Com-Ports, Udp-Ports and Shared Memory,
where all interfaces being part of the gateway are arranged according to their type.
You may select an entry by a click . The associated context menu will provide one of
the following commands:
Serves to delete the selected block driver
Serves to add a Com-Port to the Com-Ports folder
Serves to add a Udp block driver to the Udp folder
Serves to add shared memory to the Shared Memory folder
Attention: It is strongly recommended not to modify the contain of the folder
Shared Memory!
Attention: If you add a block driver for Com-Port for the first time in the current
configuration, the configuration file gateway.cfg must be extended manually. For
this purpose open the file, which per default is available in directory "GatewayPLC"
in the »PLC Designer« installation directory (e.g. C:\Programs\3S »PLC
Designer«\GatewayPLC), in a text editor and in section [ComponentManager] add
the following entry:
Component.xy=CmpBlkDrvSimpleCom
whereby xy must match the continuous component numbering.
If this entry is missing, the block driver will not be loaded when the gateway is
started!
