Transacon Templates
The Transacon templates are available when either the Custom Request/Response or Custom Produce/
Consume serial protocol is enabled.
Figure 5. Frame editor, Request and Response
A transacon represents a complete serial telegram, and consists of a number of frame elds.
Each frame eld is associated with a set of parameters controlling what is transmied on the subnetwork.
The transacon templates are stored in the Communicator and can be reused mulple mes.
Example 1. Common Read Transacon
If you have a common read transacon. Then you can create one single transacon template for the read
transacon and reuse it mulple mes mes on your node(s).
If you have a funcon code in your protocol similar to a standard Modbus RTU transacon. Then you can create a
transacon template based on the Modbus RTU transacon for the read operaon. When you reuse the
template on your node(s), you only have to change the funcon code each me it is used.
