Set up and Configure the Euromap63 Driver
To set up and configure the Euromap63 driver:
- Mount Point Name: Enter the name of the shared folder you created previously.
- Share: Enter the share name in the following format: //[IP address of the PC running the simulator]/[shared folder name]. For example: //192.168.53.34/Euromap63folder.
- Read Only: Uncheck the checkbox.
- Username: Enter the username you configured.
- Password: Enter the password you configured.
- In Litmus Edge, follow the steps to Connect a Device and configure the following parameters. Configure other parameters as needed.
- Device Type: Select Euromap63.
- Driver Name: Select Euromap63 (Gen1).
- Path: Enter the path of the shared folder in the following format: /data/[shared folder name]—for example: /data/Euromap63folder.
If you need to manually Add Tags to the device, refer to the following tag parameters and available value types.

Free Tags
This driver doesn't have a list of available register names in the DeviceHub Add Tag form.
To add tags, you must enter the case-sensitive register name exactly as it is defined in the PLC.
A Connected status for the device won't display until a tag with a correct register name is created.
Available Value Types
- int
- float
- int64
- float64
- string
Tag Parameters
- Name: Enter the case-sensitive register name exactly as it is defined in the PLC.
- Value Type: Select a data type from the drop-down list.
- Polling Interval: Enter a value in seconds. This determines how often the tag should poll the register for data.
- Tag Name: Enter a name for the tag.
- Description (Optional): Enter a description for the tag.
- Tag Formula: Enter a formula for the tag to process the generated data. Two variables are permitted: value (current tag value) and timestamp (current tag UNIX time in milliseconds). The following math functions are available:
- sin
- cos
- sqrt
- tan
- power: power(x) performs the operation 10^x.
- log: log(x) is the natural logarithm (the logarithm is in base e).
- exp: exp(x) performs the operation e^x.
- Only Publish on Change of Value: Select the checkbox to only publish NATS messages when the value parameter changes to a new value. Change of Value only applies to boolean, numeric (such as int or float), and simple string data types. It does not apply to complex types, such as JSON or array. Poll-once topics will not be affected by Change of Value settings. These topics will still only see a single message.
- Meta Data: Metadata summarizes basic information about data. This feature allows you to define key-value pair data for the device output payload later on. Metadata can then be used to find, use, and reuse particular instances of data.
Note: If you use special characters in meta data key names, the special characters are replaced with underscore characters in the payload. This can cause two key names to be combined into one. For example, configuring the key names a**b and a&&b will cause only one key name to be created (a__b).
