Configuring and using

1. Create an output transport of the type "Serial" and set its Identifier like to "merc200", one for each the devices' used serial bus.
2. Set proper address and timeouts of the Serial device.
3. Create and start a logical controller object or use any present one with need scheduling properties.
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 into step 1.
  • Network address — to logical address of the device on the bus under the transport in step 1.
  • Coded address by the program Fixer+ — set the flag for counters coded by the program. Most likely the address will equal to apartment number.
  • Read energy from reset — set the flag if you need the data.
  • Read current values — set the flag to read current values.
6. RESULT: The logical parameter object will perform interaction and placing of gathered data to the parameter attributes.
