FLASH MEMORY MANAGEMENT

The Flash Memory chip used in the Simplicity

®

controllers has

a 1,000,000 write cycle rating.

To prevent premature failure of the flash memory, it should not
be written to more often than once every 10 minutes, on
average.

ADDITIONAL CAPABILITY

MODBUS COMMUNICATION ALARM

One digital point is available to indicate communication
problems between the Simplicity

®

LINC and the UP controller.

BI 84 (MODBUS_ALARM) is used to indicate Modbus
communication problems between the Simplicity

®

LINC

Gateway and the UP controller. When "on" this point indicates
loss of Modbus communication. The last data received from the
UP controller remains in the Simplicity

®

LINC and it continues to

function as if communications were normal.

NOTE: The MODBUS ALARM (BI84) is the only method to

verify communication between the Simplicity

®

LINC and

UP controller.

Under unusual circumstances it could take up to two
minutes for newly updated data to be seen.
