Default = Not selected. Select to enable publishing MI modem alarm item values.
Archive
Click to select or create a Configurable Archive object. See the Configurable Archive section for more details.
Info | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
Using the Configurable Archive object to define the fields of the EFM records is not required and it is permissible to leave the Field Configuration property set to Unassigned. The Honeywell Mercury driver will automatically upload the audit configuration from the RTU then match that to internal item tables to properly publish the fields of the audit record. If this process does not fit your situation, or your audit record contains items not internally associated with an existing EFM field, an Archive Field Configuration object can be created and assigned to the Configurable Archive object. |
...
Info | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
The Archive Field Configuration object is used to define the fields in the audit record so the driver can properly parse and publish each field. Refer to the Archive Field Configuration manual page for details on creating records that define the audit record fields. When configuring the object, the properties on the Date/Time tab are not used as the time stamp of each audit record is fixed by the protocol. Add a record to the Field Configuration for each Audit Trail Item in the audit record. Only fields that contain Audit Trail Item data, or the T&A field, need to be configured. Do not include the audit record's beginning timestamp or record number fields in your configuration definition. These fields are fixed by the protocol and are always published. If there is a field in the audit record that you do not want to publish, set the Attribute type to Not Used. When configuring a Field Configuration record, the following properties are not used and can be left as the default value: Byte Order, DWord Order, Word Order, and Length. Attribute type should be set to 'Value' or 'Not Used'. Below is an example relating the audit trail configuration to records in the Field Configuration object. Note the item number in the audit configuration matches the Position property in the Field Configuration.

Pulse Accumulator Tab
The Pulse Accumulator tab contains configuration options that only apply if the selected device type is a Pulse Accumulator.
Meter 2
Click to select or create the Meter Object assigned to the meter. See the Meter section for more details.
Info |
---|
If a meter object is assigned as Meter 2 and all other controls on this tab are left at their default settings, all fields of the audit log record will be published to both Meter 1 and Meter 2. |
Publish Channel 2 Items to Meter 2
Default = Not Selected. When enabled, items in the audit log record that are associated with Channel 2 in the field device will be published to Meter 2. All other items will publish to Meter 1.
Pulse Accumulator Audit Record
Default = 999, meaning not used. These properties are used to manually configure the audit log record and to which meter object the values in the record are to be published. These properties are only used if the above two publishing options do not meet your requirements. Starting with Item 1, and for each item in the audit record, select from the drop down control the associated EFM value. Enter the item number of the field in the edit box. To skip a field in the record and not publish it, enter '255' as the item address.
Info |
---|
The Pulse Accumulator Audit Record properties have precedence over Publish Channel 2 Items to Meter 2 property. If items are configured to an address other than '999', the table will be used to remap the audit record output regardless of the state of Publish Channel 2 Items to Meter 2 property. |
