Configuring and using
- 1. Create an output transport of the type "Sockets" or "Serial" and set its Identifier like to "BK", one for each the device.
- 2. Set proper address and timeouts of the Sockets or Serial device.
- 3. Create and start a logical controller object or use any present one with need scheduling properties — must be set in the period 10...60 seconds.
- 4. Create a logical parameter object and select the template for that, one for each the devices — enable the parameter.
- 5. Into the tab "Template configuration" of the logical parameter object you need to set:
- Transport — to Identifier of the transport in step 1.
- Device address [0...15] — to logical address of the device on the bus under the transport in step 1. Tracing for the address changing is supported.
- Current values request in regular — a sign of requesting current values in regular, which can be disabled for saving the device battery.
- OpenSCADA archiver for device's archive of hours — set to the value archiver whole ID like to "FSArch.1h" for an archiver with data quality-period in 3600 seconds — create one at missing.
- OpenSCADA archiver for device's archive of days — set to the value archiver whole ID like to "FSArch.1d" for an archiver with data quality-period in 86400 seconds — create one at missing.

- Currents try period — to reading period of current values and last archive values.
- Time limit of processing of archiving — to time limit of execution the procedure during archives reading.
- 6. RESULT: The logical parameter object will perform interaction and placing of gathered data to the parameter attributes and archives.
- 7. In the process of the working, through the tab "Archiving" you have to select the archiving parameters in the used archivers to create the representative archives.
- 8. ... through the tab "Attributes" of operational data, in addition to obtaining the result, it is possible to perform operative setup and control on:
- Reset the archives reading and configuration — to reset positions of the archive reading.
- Set: ... — to set need device settings.
