1. Setting up RAE ODX Server and ODX Client

This section provides a detailed steps to configure RAE ODX Server and RAE ODX Client.

1.1. RAE ODX Server

RAE allows data in the RTDR database to be accessed using the Open Data Exchange (ODX) protocol. Data access can be read and/or write. This functionality is provided for backward compatibility and to provide interoperability with existing 3rd party ODX clients, it is not intended to be the primary method of Communication between RAE nodes. For more information on the ODX protocol see the “Open Data Exchange (ODX) Protocol Specification”, PN: 46003400.

The ODX protocol only allows 32 characters to be used as a symbol name and this is not sufficient enough to handle the hierarchical namespace of the RTDR. To enable the RAE ODX Server to map its hierarchical namespace to a 32-character name, the Server uses a translation table. For RAE 2.0 and beyond this is provided through the SQL based HmxConfiguration database and the [Odx Server Variables] table. For earlier systems an “Odx Server Variables” table resided directly within the RTDR. The old mechanism is still fully supported for backward compatibility but unless the HmxConfiguration database is used, it is not possible to have dynamic variable additions. The table allows the flat namespace (i.e. symbol name) to be mapped to the hierarchical namespace of the RTDR (i.e. path). The table must be added and populated in the RTDR if you wish to use the RAE ODX Server.

Experion MX ODX Link User Manual Setting up RAE ODX Server and ODX Client

The primary functions supported by the RAE ODX Server are:

Symbol Lookup:

o A client can determine the availability of a given symbol(s) and determine the symbol’s definition. The server will only validate against “Flat Name” (i.e. exposed symbol names) entries in the “Odx Server Variable” table.

Read Transfers:

o Data can be retrieved on a one-shot, periodic or event basis. All symbols in a group are guaranteed to be delivered synchronized in the return message. All RTDR simple types are supported (i.e. byte, short, long, float, double, ascii and date) and up to 2-D arrays of these types. The event triggers can be based either on an “ordinal” transition or by an RTDR ObjectHasChanged notification.

Cancel Data Transfer:

o Cancels a previously requested periodic or ordinal triggered read transfer.

Write Transfers:

o In addition to writing the actual data, a write operation can also cause an RTDR ObjectHasChanged notification to be set against a particular record.

The following description of the “Odx Server Variables” table and fields are really for information only. It is not expected that anyone would use these directly today. All configuration is expected to be in the SQL configuration database and placed there through the configuration browser or interactively through HmxOnLineConfigurator, from C:\Programe Files\Honeywell\Experion MX\RAE\BIN\TOOLS.

For Field Names that appear as x/y, the x entry is for the older RTDR table and the y entry is the field in the HmxConfiguration table.

Table 1-1 The field in the HmxConfiguration table

Field Name Type Description

Flat Name/Tagname Ascii Specifies the 32 character symbol name a client can use to access the data.

Path/RtdrPath Ascii Specifies the actual RTDR location of the data, described in the standard hierarchical representation of …/recordname/fieldname

Max Dim1 size Long This specifies the size of the first dimension if the RTDR variable is an array. Set this to 1 if this is not an array.

Max Dim2 size Long This specifies the size of the second dimension if this variable is an array. Set this to 1 if this is not an array. Set this to maximum size of the string if this field is an Ascii field type *

Data Conversion Type

Ascii Valid values are ORDINAL or FLOAT. These can be applied to a ByteField to have the server treat it as an ordinal or to a DoubleField to have the server treat it as a float. **

Special use of this field when the RTDR field is an Ascii string

** This field can be used to provide backward compatibility to clients written to only handle a subset of odx types, typically those available through MxOpen. If this field is blank then no action is taken and all data RTDR data types map directly to their equivalent odx data types, as shown in the first 2 columns. The following table shows how this field works

Table 1-2 The field in the HmxConfiguration table

RTDR DATA TYPE ODX DATA TYPE Data Conversion Field

ByteField T_BYTE ORDINAL T_ORDINAL

ShortField T_INTEGER NA T_INTEGER

The RAE ODX Server also supports events. Read operations can be triggered from a particular event, which can be configured to trigger either from an “ordinal” transition or an actual ObjectHasChanged notification. In addition a write operation can schedule an event by causing an ObjectHasChanged on a particular record. To enable the RAE ODX Server to expose events to a client, the Server uses a table called “Odx Server Events”. There must be an entry/record in this table for each event you wish to use.

Experion MX ODX Link User Manual Setting up RAE ODX Server and ODX Client

Table 1-3 The following is a description of the “Odx Server Events” table and fields

Field Name Type Description

Event Name Ascii Specifies the 32 character symbol name a client can use to specify the event. This event name alias is applicable for either “Ordinal” changes or ObjectHasChanged events.

Record Path Ascii Specifies the actual RTDR location of the data, described in the standard hierarchical representation of …/recordname/fieldname if the event is to be triggered from an ordinal transition. If an actual RTDR subscription event is to be used then this is the record path (no fieldname and terminated with /) *

Subscribe Mask Long Reason Mask if an RTDR Subscription type event is required, 0 (zero) if the event is to be triggered from an ordinal transition.

Object Has Changed Reason

Long This is used by write operations. This is the event reason the write operation will use when calling ObjectHasChanged.

This table maps the MXOPEN AM ODX Server functionality of ODX ordinals and Fex events to the RTDR ObjectHasChanged facility.

When data read is to be returned based on an “ordinal” transition then the “Record Path” field contains a fully qualified path to a scalar numeric (typically byte) field. The client program can request that the value of the field to monitored for a TTOF (True to False), FTOT (False to True) or any transition. The Subscription Mask field must be zero to use the ordinal transition mechanism.

When read data is to be returned based on an RTDR ObjectHasChanged notification then this field contains a record path, terminated with a ‘/’. The client program can request any transition in this case. The Subscription Mask field must be a non-zero value corresponding to the Event Reason the Server should subscribe with when it registers for the specified RTDR event.

The "Object Has Changed Reason" field is used for write operations that wish to set a Server event when the write is complete. The reason is the event reason the server will use when it issues the ObjectHasChanged notification, on the record specified by “Record Path”.

1.2. RAE ODX Client

The ODX Client can communicate with any ODX Server (assuming it is properly protocol compliant) but is primarily used with the MXOPEN AM ODX Server. The ODX client is configured similar to all other links in RAE by populating the LINK table to describe the link.

Each link is comprised of groups, which contain configuration information and a list of symbols that will be involved in the read/write transfers.

The groups in an ODX link correspond directly to the following ODX request types:

Periodic Read

One-shot (Demand) Read

Event triggered Read

Write

Once started the link program examines the LINKS table searching for all entries of type ODX. If no entries are found then the program exits. On a running client a separate thread is started for each ODX link entry found. For each ODX link definition the program creates the necessary ODX request messages and after

validating the symbols in each group, begins to issue the requests. If any symbol in a group is bad then the entire group will be disabled, so it is important to initially check for errors relating to undefined symbols.

The ODX client will sit and poll for any server that is unavailable when the link starts. Under normal operation each group will carry out its appropriate read/write operations and the link Status will be 6, for normal run mode. Any errors with a link are logged in the NT event log and the last error code will appear in the Error field for that link. If the link encounters a serious error (e.g. looses communication with the server) then that particular link shuts down and tries to re-establish the connection.

The ODX Client should be stopped before loading/reloading the RTDR database, or if the RTDR is sent Invalid, this will not be necessary in future versions of the client. The max packet size per group transfer is 64k, an error will be generated in the unlikely event that the packet size is attempting to be exceeded (e.g. a group is reading a float array of 17,000 entries, this would equal a packet size of 17000*4+header = ~68k)

Table 1-4 The Link table is structured as follows

Field Name Type Description

Parent[,Name] AsciiField Parent Name (e.g. /Links)

LinkType AsciiField Type of link - ODX

Hostname AsciiField HostName, actual name if defined in host file, else IP address

Timebase LongField Polling time in millisec (e.g. 200). Used by link to check if groups should do any work etc.

Command LongField Command to Link 0 No Command (initial) 1 Stop Link 2 ReInit for new data

Adding records to the TRANSFERGROUP table configures the transfer groups. Each group will correspond directly to a particular ODX Read or Write request. Each TransferGroup has a ChildList describing all variables assigned to that group, variables are defined by a symbolname to rtdr path mapping. The parent of the transfer groups should be the Tgroup ChildListField in the LINK table. The Transfer Group record describes the type of group and the RTDR records to be used as part of the RTDR subscription/objecthaschanged mechanism. The client supports five different group types:

1. Read on Rate - Data arrives at a fixed periodic rate Function = Read TriggerType = NumericRate Rate Or Reason = n, where n is a number representing the

periodic rate in secs (e.g. 5)

2. Read on Demand - Single read scheduled from an RTDR ObjectHasChanged Function = Read TriggerType = Demand Trigger Variable = Record path specifies RTDR record to

subscribe to. Rate Or Reason = n, where n is the event reason to use

3. Read on Event - Data arrives based on a server side event occurring Function = Read TriggerType = Event Trigger Variable = Server size ordinal to be used as trigger

for event. Rate Or Reason = Transition type to use, FTOT, TTOF,

ANY default is ANY.

4. Write on Rate - Data is written at a fixed periodic rate Function = Write TriggerType = NumericRate

Rate Or Reason = n, where n is a number representing the periodic rate in secs (e.g. 5)

Event Path = Server side event name to be schedule when the write completes

5. Write on Event - Writes occur based on an RTDR ObjectHasChanged. Function = Write TriggerType = Event Trigger Variable = RTDR record path group subscribes to,

write occurs when an ObjectHasChanged occurs on this record with a reason matching that specifird in “Rate Or Reason”

Rate Or Reason = n, where n is the event reason to use during subscription

Event Path = Server side event name to be schedule when the write completes

Any fields not shown above under each group type are not used by that configuration.

Table 1-5 The TransferGroup table is as follows

FieldName Type Description

Parent[,Name] AsciiField Parent Name

Function AsciiField Read or Write

Trigger Type AsciiField How/When to transfer NumericRate : rate transfer Event: transfer on ojecthaschanged Demand: only applies for reads, used for one-shot

Trigger Variable AsciiField Used by event and demand transfers. Logic Ordinal for read event, record path for demand reads or event writes.

Rate Or Reason AsciiField Rate in seconds for NumericRate transfer Reason for read event transfer, TTOF, FTOT, ANY Reason mask for write event

Event Path AsciiField Event to schedule RTDR record path for reads “Server Event” for writes

Adding records to the ODXVARIABLE Table configures variables. The parent of the ODXVariable table should be the Variable ChildListField in the LINK table. Variables are comprised of two parts, the device name that acts as the target for reads/writes from/to the server and an RTDR path that specifies data path to store/retrieve the value to/from.

Table 1-6 The Variable table is as follows

FieldName Type Description

Parent AsciiField Parent Name

Symbol Name AsciiField Device symbol name

RTDBPath AsciiField Path to store returned data (reads) Path to outgoing data (writes)
