The Bsap IP EIE communication device works in conjunction with the BSAP EIE to communicate with BSAP field devices that are configured to use the BSAP IP protocol.

A 64-bit version of this EIE is available. See 64-bit Device Drivers.
The following tables list and describe properties from the Bsap IP Device Editor dialog box.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
|
Device ID |
The unique identifier of an instance for this device. This free-form name must be unique in the DDS and the FAC. That is, it must be a name not used by any other communication device, import/export device, remote device, or facility. Valid characters are A-Z, 0-9, dash (-), underscore (_), and tilde (~). No spaces are allowed. 20 character maximum. Note: Tilde (~) is a valid character for both devices and facilities, but its use is not recommended. |
|
Host mode |
Master: This default mode allows any message to be sent. NonMaster: This mode is remote device EIE-specific. It is not designed to allow write messages to be sent to an RTU. However, because each remote device EIE specifies what a write message is, you might still be able to send some write messages. |
|
Description |
A free-form description of the device. 32 character maximum. |
|
Buffer size |
The size (4K, 8K, 16K, or 32K) of your temporary message storage. 4K is ample to handle standard messages. |
|
Message delay (msec) |
The delay (in milliseconds) to wait before sending a message to the remote device. If the remote device also has a message delay, the greater value takes precedence. |
| Local address settings | |
|
IP address |
The address of the local (host) communication device. Required for correct addressing. |
|
Standard port |
The port number of the local (host) communication device. |
|
Time sync port |
The port number used for time synchronization. |
| Default destination settings | |
|
IP address |
The address of a field communication device. Not required for correct addressing. |
|
Standard port |
The port number for a field device on a field communication device. |
|
Time sync port |
The port number used for time synchronization. |
|
Enable Device |
Check to enable or disable the device. The default setting is disabled. The device will automatically disable if an invalid configuration is detected. The device can be re-enabled after the invalid configuration is fixed. |
