Section 12. Program Control Instructions

12-10

Edlog allocates only one of the input locations used in parameters 7, 9, and 10
of this instruction. The additional input locations must be inserted manually
using the Input Location Editor. For information on manually inserting input
locations, refer to Manually Inserting Input Locations Into Edlog.

Number of Remotes

The number of remote dataloggers/wireless sensors in the PakBus network that
will be communicated with using this instruction.

First Remote Address

The unique address for the first remote datalogger/wireless sensor in the
PakBus network that will be communicated with using this instruction. All of
the remotes that will be communicated with using this P193 should have
sequential addresses.

The address is set in the datalogger's *D15 mode (refer to the datalogger user's
manual for additional information). It can be any number between 1 and 4095.

Time into Transmit Interval

An offset, in seconds, into the Transmit Interval. The valid range is 0 through
9998.

Example

To set up the remotes for an hourly transmission at 15 minutes past the hour,
the Time into Transmit Interval would be set at 900 and the Transmit Interval
would be set at 3600.

Transmit Interval

The transmission interval, in seconds, that will be assigned to the group of
dataloggers/remote sensors being set up with this instruction. The valid range is
1 through 9999.

The wireless sensors will actually begin transmitting before the specified
transmission time (based on Time Into Transmit Interval and Transmit Interval)
so that transmission is complete when the specified transmission time occurs.
The Transmit Delay Between Remotes, parameter 5, is factored into to the
transmit time assigned to each remote.

The datalogger program can be written to execute P193 on every program scan,
or within a P92 (If Time) instruction. The Transmit Interval must equal the
interval on which Instruction 193 is being executed.

Note: The Transmit Interval must be sufficiently long so that all of the remotes
have a chance to respond before the next transmit interval occurs. Therefore,
Transmit Interval must be equal to or greater than Number of Remotes *
Transmit Delay Between Remotes. You will have to estimate the Transmit
Delay Between Remotes if that value (parameter 5) is set to 0 (which means
use the estimated value from the datalogger's routing table).
