FG Series Peer to Peer v1.0

Introduction
FG Peer to Peer is an application for FG series that enable information sharing among FG series controllers.
The service comes with 256 global registers. Each register is a 4 byte register (32bit).
It creates a cloud like of global registers in the network that does not belong to any controller.
Any EasyIO FG controller in the network installed with the P2P service is considered part of the global
registers group.
Any EasyIO FG series can write to a particular address to update the global registers.
Below is a simple diagram displaying the conceptual of the FG Peer to Peer service.

FG Peer to Peer Service

The architecture of the FG Peer to Peer kit is deployed as shown below in Step 2. The P2P service object can
be dropped anywhere in the Sedona app tree. Our recommendation is to create a separate folder and
identified as you require.
Service
Object

Step 1
**Make sure the EasyIO FG Series controller firmware is V1.4b9 and above. **
Connect to the controller with Sedona Workbench or CPT Tool.
Default login credentials are as below;
IP address: 192.168.10.11
Username: admin
Password :<no password>
Manage kits to install easyioFGP2P2 into your controller.

Step 2
Choose easyioFGP2P from Sedona Palette
Drag & drop the P2PService into your App. The object can be dropped in the EasyIO folder or a new folder
can be created for the P2P service.
In the example below, the object is dropped into a new folder named P2P.

**Note**
Once the FGP2P service is in the Sedona apps, the controller is part of the global registers network.

Step 3
Double click the P2PServ to access the property sheet.
Enable the service by selecting the Enable property to true.
The default port for P2P service is UDP 6061. The UDP port can be change if the port is occupied by other
service.

Step 4
Drag and drop the P2P object into the P2P service. In the example below a P2P Boolean data type is used.
There are 2 more data types supported which are Float and Integer.

Step 5
Double click the P2P point object to access property sheet.
Enable the point object.
If the object is a server object, then enable the Read Write property.
Configure the address. Address range allowed is from 0 255.
The Bit property is for a Boolean object. This allows user to fully utilize the 32 bit register for 32 Boolean
objects instead of only 1 Boolean register per 32 bit.

Step 6
Create multiple P2P objects by repeating step 4 and step 5.
If a Float or Integer data type object is used the Bit property is disabled.
It is not necessary to have all the points address in a controller.
There may be situation where only a few controllers are sharing a same point where as the other controller
does not require that point.
Example:
Controller 01: only require global register address 1.
Controller 02: requires global register address 2 to 10.
Controller 03: requires global register address 5-10.
Controller 04: writing values to global registers 1 -10.
In case there are 2 controllers writing to a same address then the last write wins.
