Honeywell® Mercury Configuration

Honeywell® Mercury Configuration



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



Device Type

  • ECAT (Default)

  • ER

  • MiniAT

  • MiniMax

  • Pulse Accum

  • ERX

  • Turbo C

  • EC350

  • ERX350 (ER350)

User ID

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.

Access Code

Default = 33333. The five digit instrument access code (password) for the device.

Sign On

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.

Site ID 1

Default = 00000000. Site ID 1 of 2 to provide verification/identify of which Mercury device to communicate with.

Site ID 2

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.

Use Modem

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.

Port

Default = A. Mercury Modem Port Number. 

Modem ID

Default = 10000000. Mercury Modem ID Number.

Multiple Items in a Message

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.

Items Per Log Record

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.

  • 1 ~ 9

  • 10 (Default)

  • 11 ~ 12

  • 20
