The v344 image is a modbus Master/Slave image, configurable for each. All of
the DI images are custom per say.
The documentation for a lot of these images is available on the GCS website
http://support.ips.invensys.com/content/lifeline/2000/Info/gwindx.htm
These do document the specific implementation of each image . The DI
documentation is very generic.

Scott,
We have DI30B's on both sides of the communication, using the Modbus RTU
Protocol.
The "onshore" DI30 acts as master and the "offshore" acts as "slave", but they
are not using custom images, as far as I know.
According to the ds_stasict command, we have v651v344.186 OS1FDB.GDT.
The ECB20's of both ports are configured for RTU protocol.
On the "master" side, pollings are implemented using FDSCAN and response
messages are handled by FDIDMS and FDIIN blocks.
On the "slave" side, querys are handled by FDIDMS, FDMSBL and FDIOUT blocks.
The system was delivered with no documentation and the people who programmed it
are no longer available.
Originally, the system was working partially, with PERF error counters for the
ports in Sysmon increasing all the time, due to configuration errors.
Using the manual, I was able to correct the errors, but now I would like to
have a deeper understanding of the system.
Just to give you an example, I don't understand how a FDIDMS block on the
"master" side identifies a response message for FC 03.The response for FC 03
does not include the starting register number, so all responses from a given
slave, with the same number of registers, look identical to the FDIDMS blocks.
Yet, the FDIDMS blocks do include the starting register number, and in some way
the data gets routed to the right place. Well, I didn't find any explanation
for that in the manual.
Regards,
Pablo
