Web Interface Configuration

Master Poll Interval

This is the amount of time between when a response is received

from a Slave and when the FMS asks for the next register. This

interval is adjustable from 250 to 9999ms.
The interval is active only when the Serial Protocol is set to a

Modbus Master option.
The interval effects the overall scan rate. If the FMS is configured to

read 60 Modbus variables and the poll interval is set to 1000ms

(1second), each Modbus variable will be read approximately once

per minute.

Default: 250 mS

Master Retry

Attempts

This value determines how many times the FMS will request the

same register when there is no response from the Slave before

moving on to read the next register. This value is adjustable from 1

to 99 seconds.

Default: 1 second

Enable Virtual Slot

#1-4

The number of available virtual slots varies from 1 to 4 depending

on the FMS’s physical configuration.

Virtual slots can only be created if the slot is not occupied by a

physical card. These virtual points can be used in conjunction with

Modbus/SNMP registers to allow individual alarming, notification

and relay activation per Modbus register.

BCM Zero Amp

Level Alarm

Determines if the branch circuit current is zero (CB open or tripped).

It is active when Serial Protocol is set to “Modbus Master BCM - 4

Units” or “Modbus Master BCM - 16 Units.” This applies to all

branch circuits in all the BCMs. Each branch circuit has a “Zero

Amp” Enable to enable or disable the zero amp alarm. This setting

is adjustable from 0 to 1 Amp.

BCM Status Display

Displays the how the BCM status is displayed (i.e, left/right or

vertical).
