Instrument Types
Overview
Supported Instrument Types
SuperData Communications supports a variety of control instruments used in the Heat Treating industry. In the
following sections, the instrument ID (indicated in CAPS) is used to identify the instrument in the SCSPSYS.CFG file.
The instrument type code (numeric) follows each ID and is displayed in decimal and Hex. The Hex value is
displayed as the type on the SDIO status display and the ChStat display. Instruments that are not specifically
supported, may be supported by using an OPC Server in conjunction with SuperData's OPCBridge.
System Instruments
System Channels
SYS
System channels are SDIO channels that are maintained by an external application. SDIO does not provide
direct communications with these instruments. SDIO does log the data in these channels and makes the data
available for trending and screen display applications.
Examples of System channels:
OPCBridge channels
ComRBridge channels
Load Tracking applications
Dummy channels used for test/development
