If the firmware on the field device is updated or if the Date format is changed, set the ACM device object to Disabled then back to Enabled. This will cause the protocol module to re-read these settings on the device. |
See the Common Device Configuration guide for assistance configuring the General, Options, Details, and Logging tabs. See the Connection/Schedule page for assistance with the Connection tab. |
Device Tab
Default = blank. The two digit user ID to use for secure sign-on. Only valid on 350 series devices. Leave blank to use non-secure sign-on command.
To use non-secure sign-on for 350 series devices, user "00" access must be enabled. |
Default = 33333. The five digit instrument access code (password) for the device.
The device sign-on code is optional. If left blank, ACM will negotiate the correct code to use with the device automatically based on the configured device type.
Default = 00000000. Site ID 1 of 2 to provide verification/identify of which Mercury device to communicate with.
Default = 00000000. Site ID 2 of 2 to provide verification/identify of which Mercury device to communicate with.
Message Nulls
Default = 0. Use this property to transmit a series of 'null' bytes, or bytes with a value of zero, before the initial 04 wake up message. This can be used stabilize the connection before the 04 byte is sent so that the end device doesn't miss it. If used, a small number (0 - 4) is recommended.
Default = Not selected. If the Honeywell Mercury device is communicating through an MI Modem then select this and enter the Port letter and the MI Modem ID for that device.
When doing cry-outs, set the MI modem port in the drop down list to the one the Honeywell Mercury device is attached to. This option is only relevant for processing unsolicited messages and will not matter when simply polling through an MI modem.
Default = A. Mercury Modem Port Number.
Default = 10000000. Mercury Modem ID Number.
Default = Selected. Select this if the device can support RG messages and set the maximum number of items desired to be read per poll message.
This is the number of audit items that the Mercury device model uses in an audit log record. This is firmware version dependent and not all devices are capable of using all of the selections. This option is not used for 350 series devices.
Click to select or create the Call-In Object assigned to this device. See the Mercury Callin Scheduler section for more details.
Settings that determine how or if certain field values will be included in the historical publish data. Archive collection must be enabled, on the Archive Collection tab, for these settings to take effect.
Publish the raw record timestamp.
Publish the audit record log trigger and alarm field.
Publish MI alarm status condition during modem inquiry.
Publish instrument type.
Exclude this field in the published output, or publish the value as a string or as an integer.
Exclude this field in the published output, or publish the value as a string or as an integer.
Publish the audit record alarm field, without the log trigger value. Non-350 series devices only.
Default = BatteryVoltage. Click to select the identifier to use when publishing the battery voltage. This property is for backward compatibility and may be deprecated in future releases.
PGAS report publish options for certain audit record fields.
Default = Not Selected. This prints very verbose messages in the ACM log about the current state of the protocol engine and/or EFM upload.
Default = Selected. When not selected, ACM will poll for meter configuration data after a communication failure.
Default = Not selected. Publish the audit trail item as column names in CSV report.
Default = Not selected. This option will produce an extra column for each audit trail item with the current audit trail item number.
Default = Not selected. This option will produce an extra column for each audit trail item with the current unit used for that audit trail item, if known.
Default = Not selected. This option changes the units of some published items.
Default = Not selected. By default, ACM will convert the KFactor value from Pulses per Cubic Meters to Pulses per Cubic Feet. Enable this option to publish the KFactor in Pulses per Cubic Meter when the field device is using Pulses per Cubic Meter units.
Default = Not selected. This option will cause history records generated by events or alarms to be published along with time triggered ones.
Default = Not selected. This option will initiate a history upload after a user initiated demand poll completes.
Default = Not selected. This option prevents uploading all events from the device queue if the event pointer is reset or on the first upload of a newly created device.
Default = Not selected. This will automatically retrieve audit history upon receiving an unsolicited message.
Default = Not selected. This will automatically execute a demand poll on any advised items upon receiving an unsolicited message.
Perform Time Sync during call-in
Default = No Selected. This will automatically execute a time sync operation upon receiving an unsolicited message.
Default = Not Selected. This will write the next call in time, based upon the configured Call-In Schedule object, to the device after a scheduled poll completes.
Default = Not selected. Select this to configure and allow requests to be made.
Click to select or create the Connection Object assigned to this device. See the Time Synchronization section for more details.
Select the desired Time Synchronization Interval relating to the Schedule object assigned on the Connection tab. Time Synchronization checks occur on the frequency of this interval.
Default = UTC-06:00 Central Time (US & Canada).
Click to select or create the Meter Object assigned to the meter. See the Meter section for more details.
The Meter object may be configured with an Advanced Meter Configuration object. This will allow user configured values to be published in addition to pre-defined meter configuration properties read from the RTU. |
Select the desired Meter Configuration, Audit, Alarm, and Event Interval relating to the Schedule object assigned on the Connection tab.
Select to edit the settings for Audits 1 through 5.
Audits 2 through 5 are only valid for 350 series devices |
Default = 5. Select the number of audit records to request per message. 350 series devices only.
Default = Not selected. Select to enable and configure collection.
Default = Not selected. Select to enable publishing MI modem alarm item values.
Click to select or create a Configurable Archive object. See the Configurable Archive section for more details.
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. |
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.
|
The Pulse Accumulator tab contains configuration options that only apply if the selected device type is a Pulse Accumulator.
Click to select or create the Meter Object assigned to the meter. See the Meter section for more details.
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. |
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.
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.
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. |
