Configuring PIUNSOL.INI

This is a configuration file for RSLinx.

There are two cases when you need to configure the piunsol.ini file:

  1. When the PLC sends unsolicited messages through PI Gateway.

You need to configure the PI Gateway's IP address in the piunsol.ini file

  1. When the PLC sends unsolicited messages directly on Ethernet by specifying CLIENT as destination IP address.

You need to configure the PLC's IP address in the piunsol.ini file.

This file needs to be in RSLinx root directory (generally \RSI\RSLINX) of the host computer running the CIMPLICITY application. The format of this file is :

[<IP address 1>]

<application data table address> = <Number of elements>

<application data table address> = <Number of elements>

     .

     .

[<IP address 2>]

<application data table address> = <Number of elements>

<application data table address> = <Number of elements>

     .

     .

[<IP address n>]

<application data table address> = <Number of elements>

<application data table address> = <Number of elements>

     .

     .

Where

<application data table address> is a unique octal number associated with the unsolicited point.

For example, 30 is the application data table address in the CIMPLICITY point address N55:0>30. Assuming the point is configured with a size of 2 elements, then the entry is:

30=2

in the piunsol.ini file.
