Save priphery address parameters C# function

[AliBou]

Hi,
Is there a C# function to save priphery address parameters ??

Thank you by advance
Best regards

Can you please describe in detail what "save" means?
You can do an ASCII export to save the _address information in a text file.

Hi,
we try to insert pirephery address using C# manager
all these parameters are written successfuly but we have to go in the para and click apply button to save these parameters
our need is function like "paPutGlobalDpc" in para library

thank you by advance
best regards.

If you want to configure a _address config for a DPE you have to configure the _distrib config first if the driver number is unequal to 1.
Then you can configure it and set the attribute _address.._active as the last step.
Setting is possible with dpSet() commands or the equal function to a dpSet() in a C++/C# API manager.

thank you for your reponse
that's wahat i've done
// String Address configuration
String addType = dpName+ sRootPrefix + ":_address.._type";
String addRef = dpName + sRootPrefix + ":_address.._reference";
String SubInx = dpName + sRootPrefix + ":_address.._subindex";
String addMode = dpName + sRootPrefix + ":_address.._mode";
String dataType = dpName + sRootPrefix + ":_address.._datatype";
String drvIdent = dpName + sRootPrefix + ":_address.._drv_ident";
String AddActv = dpName + sRootPrefix + ":_address.._active";
String direction = dpName + sRootPrefix + ":_address.._direction";
String distDriver = dpName + sRootPrefix + ":_distrib.._driver";
String distType = dpName + sRootPrefix + ":_distrib.._type";
String pollGrp = dpName + sRootPrefix + ":_address.._poll_group";
String driverConnexion = dpName + sRootPrefix + ":_address.._connection";

//DpIdentifiants
var iPollIdf = processModel.GetDpIdentifierByDpPath("_"+Subscription);
var iConnIdf = processModel.GetDpIdentifierByDpPath("_"+ConnectionName);

if (processModel.IsDpPathExisting(dpName) )
{
this instruction dosn't works:
**********************************************************************************
//var distribDriver = new Tuple<string, OaVariant>(distDriver, Convert.ToChar(DriverNumber));
//await valueProcess.SetDpValueAsync(distribDriver);
************************************************************************************

Tuple<String, OaVariant>[] dpCFG ={
new Tuple<string, OaVariant>( distType, 56),
new Tuple<string, OaVariant>( distDriver, Convert.ToChar(DriverNumber)),

new Tuple< string, OaVariant>( addRef, addressRef),
new Tuple<string, OaVariant>( direction, Convert.ToChar(Direction)),
new Tuple<string, OaVariant>( addMode, Convert.ToChar(2)),
new Tuple< string, OaVariant>( dataType, TConvertHelper.S7PTypeToIntger(type)),

new Tuple<string, OaVariant>( drvIdent, "S7PLUS"),
new Tuple<string, OaVariant>( AddActv, false),
new Tuple< string, OaVariant>( driverConnexion, iConnIdf)
};

TraceObj.WriteInfo("+++++++++++++++Insertion Nouvelle Config+++++++++++++++");
await valueProcess.SetDpValueAsync(dpCFG);
TraceObj.WriteInfo("+++++++++++++++Activation Nouvelle Config+++++++++++++++");

var activeAddress = new Tuple<string, OaVariant>(AddActv, true);
await valueProcess.SetDpValueAsync(activeAddress);

Hi
when we try to set only _distrib config within driver nmuber it doesn't work ??

string distDriver = dpName + sRootPrefix + ":_distrib.._driver";
var distribDriver = new Tuple<string, OaVariant>(distDriver, Convert.ToChar(DriverNumber))
await valueProcess.SetDpValueAsync(distribDriver);

[leoknipp]

I do not understand your last answer.
For the _distrib config the attributes _type and _driver need to be set.
Setting _type is necessary to create the config if it does not exist.

string distDriver = dpName + sRootPrefix + ":_distrib.._driver";
var distribDriver = new Tuple<string, OaVariant>(distDriver, Convert.ToChar(DriverNumber))
await valueProcess.SetDpValueAsync(distribDriver);

Try it without conversion to character, since the value should be the driver number (not a character of the driver number).
