Configuring and using
- 1. [ NonAutomatic ] Create an output transport of the type "Serial" or "Sockets", and set its Identifier like to "IEC62056", one for each the devices' used serial bus.
- 2. [ NonAutomatic ] Set proper address and timeouts of the device.
- 3. Create and start a logical controller object or use any present one with need scheduling properties. The interaction period for part 46 preferred to be about 0.1 second!
- 4. Create a logical parameter object and select the template for that, one for the devices on one bus — enable the parameter.
- 5. Into the tab "Template configuration" of the logical parameter object you need to set:
- Transport — to the address of the automatically created transport with its parameters after ":", accordingly to the function SYS.Transport.outAt() address format. Tracing for the address changing is supported.
- Direct local data exchange at the 21 part — switch mode of the data obtaining from part 46 to part 21.
- Represent integer data in LE — switch the bytes packing order in integers from BE to LE.
- Destination in "{UHDLC}:{LHDLC}" or one SN digit — remote station address in the two digit format each of which in range [0...16383] or one SN digit in range [0...268435456].
- Source — the same station address (source) in the integer range [0...127].
- Password the device — the device access password.
- Retry connection time — retry connection time in seconds, at the connection missing and no response detection.
- Poll all time — time in seconds of the complete data requesting, pointed in the "itemsSet".
- Input processing procedure — form for the complex preprocessing and complete generation of the separate attributes on the internal programming language of OpenSCADA.
- 6. RESULT: The logical parameter object will perform interaction and placing of the gathered data to the object "items", creation/placing the gathered data to the proper value attributes.
- 7. In the process of the working, through the tab "Attributes" of operational data, in addition to obtaining the result, it is possible to perform operative setup and control on:
- Preset device — for setting isDir, isLE, main OBISes and some address specific.
- Items set by ... — for appending the device's OBIS to their reading.
