Importing tags from Wizcon BLS files

Another tool allows to automatically prepare configuration directly from “.bls” file (it is a standard Axeda Wizcon block file). Datablocks, groups and tags are created automatically. To take the advantage of this tool, you have to define communication parameters and structure first (channels, protocols, ports, segments and stations), then select SBUS or MODBUS from “Import Settings” menu, import “.bls” file, and set the timeout and the fast scan coefficient.

The file can be created manually, see example file below:

scr

Copy

;Version 8.0 Wizcon Block Data
;Block address         Length         Scanning        Fast_Scanning
11R0100   18             6000         1000
10F0500   26             8000

The above file defines two datablocks: Sbus protocol, station 17, 18 registers from address 100, scan time 6s (1s – in FAST scan mode)
Sbus protocol, station 16, 26 flags from address 500, scan time 8s (FAST scan depends on the fast scan coefficient, that is set during import)

Note
Channel, protocol, station and ports should be defined before import. All tag groups, data blocks, tags and tagbits are cleared before import, so the imported file should contain all data definitions.

The idea of importing those files is to facilitate changes to large amounts of data. Those files can be imported to MS Excel and modified according to user's needs.
