Set to true to use a mapped file to share simulated PLC data.

Constructor Detail

PLCDeviceServer

public PLCDeviceServer()

The default constructor.

Method Detail

addServer

public void addServer(PLCServer plcServer)

Find, or create a block to which to add the PLC server.

Overrides:

destroy in class PortDeviceServer

Throws:

BadParameterException

See Also:

DataSource.destroy()

getBlocksForType

public java.util.Vector<? super PLCAddressBlock> getBlocksForType(java.lang.String type)

Find the appropriate blocks.

getMaximumBlockOffset

public int getMaximumBlockOffset()

Returns the message offset. This is how close an address must be to a block before it can be added, or how close two blocks must be before they will be aggregated.

getRegisterBlock

public byte[] getRegisterBlock(java.lang.String blockType,
                               int startAddress,
                               int size)
                        throws PLCException

This method returns a register block (byte[]) that is the correct type and at least large enough to read or write the simulated registers.

Throws:

PLCException

getRegisterBlockLocal

public byte[] getRegisterBlockLocal(java.lang.String blockType,
                                    int startAddress,

                             throws PLCException

This method returns a register block (byte[]) that is the correct type and at least large enough to read or write the simulated registers. This block is only available locally (within this JVM).

Throws:

PLCException
