Item Definition
C Optional. Applies to ALL instruments. Specifies the Connection Identifier (1-
8 for serial connections and 9 for Ethernet). The protocol for the connection
must match the protocol for the instrument. If not included, defaults to
Connection 1.
LLL Required. Applies to ALL instruments. The logical channel number assigned
(1-128).
PPP Required. Applies to ALL instruments. The physical address of the
instrument. For MODBUS instruments the address is in the range 1-247.
ID Required. Applies to ALL instruments. The instrument ID: MOD_PMC,
ET2200, ET2400, ET2600
MB: Required. Specifies the Data block(s) to be polled. Up to 20 blocks may be
specified. Blocks are specified as xxx-yyy where xxx=address offset and
yyy=count of words to be read. Total word count may not exceed 78 words.
For detailed information on Modbus data addresses for these instruments
refer to Eurotherm Manual: HA 026230 Series 2000 Communications
Handbook.
Example:
to read 2 blocks of integer data, specify MB:1-10,MB:100-6.
SMULT: Optional. Specifies Slot Multipliers. A multiplier may be specified for any of
the 78 slots (slots 0-77). Format as follows:
SMULT:SSxVALUE,…,SSxVALUE
Example: SMULT:2x100,12x0.01 The example applies a multiplier of 100 to
slot 2 and a multiplier of 0.01 to slot 12. If not specified, the default
multiplier is 1.
Note: Eurotherm Instruments use Integer data with implied
decimal locations. It is not normally necessary to use slot multipliers
with these instruments.
NOLOG Optional. Applies to ALL instruments. Do not log data from this channel.
Include this when communications are required for real-time data but are not
required for historical data logging. If this is not included, the channel will be
data logged at one minute intervals.
ALM Optional. Applies to Channels that contain bitmapped alarms. The ALARM
configuration setup. ALM(PAL slot, Alarm offset, Alarm Bitmap Start Slot,
Alarm ACK Bitmap Slot, Number of Bitmap Slots). Normally this will be
configured by SSI personnel familiar with the application. If you are not sure,
do not include Bitmapped support. Invalid configurations may cause spurious
invalid alarms to be reported on RealTime and in AlarmReports.
ABC Optional. Applies to ALL instruments. Alarm Block Configuration . Caution:
any specified channel can use either ALM or ABC but not both. Allows a
custom Alarm Block Bitmap (one word) to be setup for any instrument but
generally used only for non-programmable instruments that are not capable of
maintaining alarm bitmaps. See the section on Custom Alarm Block
Configuration.
TAG Required. Applies to ALL instruments. Instrument name. Limited to 12
Characters with no spaces.
