Chapter 10. Configuring the I/O Driver from FIX/iFIX Applications163

DEVICE_NAME:ADDRESS[:BIT]

Where:

If you enter an I/O address not defined by a datablock, the driver performs one of the

following operations, if you enabled the Auto Create option:

• Adds a new datablock to the specified device.

• Extends an existing datablock to include the new address.

If you have not enabled the Auto Create option, Database Manager prompts you to

start the Power Tool so that you can add the nonexistent datablock to your driver

configuration. You can then continue configuring the database block.

NOTE: You are also prompted to start the Power Tool whenever you enter the name

of an undefined device.

Make sure the data type and the register size match. If they do not, the address is

rejected because the datablock being referenced does not align with an entire

The driver optimizes the building of datablocks by automatically determining

whether to extend an existing datablock or add a new one. If you want to modify the

datablock default values, open the SI7 I/O Driver Power Tool and make the changes

to the configuration file.

DEVICE_NAME Is the name of the field device or process hardware that you

want to collect data from. This name must match the device

name in the driver configuration file.

ADDRESS Is a register in the device. For example, to access register

DB3,2, enter DB3,2 as the address.

BIT Is a specific digital point in the register. This entry is only

necessary for digital database blocks configured with the

BYTE data type. The SI7 driver accepts bit values from 0

to 7. You cannot access bits of digital database blocks

using any other data type.
