Device Tab

Device Type

ECAT (Default)
ER
MiniAT
MiniMax

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.

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.

Protocol Options

Enable Enhanced Logging Mode

Default = Not Selected. This prints very verbose messages in the ACM log about the current state of the protocol engine and/or EFM upload.

Do not retrieve EFM meter configuration after communications failure

Default = Selected. When not selected, ACM will poll for meter configuration data after a communication failure.

Use audit trail items in column names

Default = Not selected. Publish the audit trail item as column names in CSV report.

Publish item names in audit trail records

Default = Not selected. This option will produce an extra column for each audit trail item with the current audit trail item number.

Publish item units in audit trail records

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.

Publish Volume and related items data and Units in MCF

Default = Not selected. This option changes the units of some published items.

Do not convert KFactor to Pulses per Cubic Feet

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.

Publish non-time triggered records in audit upload

Default = Not selected. This option will cause history records generated by events or alarms to be published along with time triggered ones.

Retrieve history during Demand Poll

Default = Not selected. This option will initiate a history upload after a user initiated demand poll completes.

Always upload only new events when using RE command

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.

Retrieve history on call-in

Default = Not selected. This will automatically retrieve audit history on receiving an unsolicited message.

Perform demand on call-in

Default = Not selected. This will automatically execute a demand poll on any advised items upon receiving an unsolicited message.

Set Call-in Schedule after regular polls

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.

Time Sync Tab

Enable Time Synchronization

Default = Not selected. Select this to configure and allow requests to be made.

Time Synchronization Configuration

Click to select or create the Connection Object assigned to this device. See the Time Synchronization section for more details.

Time Synchronization Interval

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.

Time Synchronization Priority

Low. Queues up with other Low priority items.
Medium (Default). Interrupts Low priority items, and queues up with other Medium priority items.
High. Interrupts Medium and Low priority items, and queues up with other High priority items.

Timezone

Default = UTC-06:00 Central Time (US & Canada).

Archive Collection Tab

Meter

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.

Upload Intervals

Select the desired Meter Configuration, Audit, Alarm, and Event Interval relating to the Schedule object assigned on the Connection tab.

EFM Collection Priority

Low (Default). Queues up with other Low priority items.
Medium. Interrupts Low priority items, and queues up with other Medium priority items.
High. Interrupts Medium and Low priority items, and queues up with other High priority items.

Select to edit the settings for Audits 1 through 5.

Audits 2 through 5 are only valid for 350 series devices

Records per Request

Default = 5. Select the number of audit records to request per message. 350 series devices only.

Enable Audit/Alarm/Event Uploads

Default = Not selected. Select to enable and configure collection.

Enable MI Modem item uploads

Default = Not selected. Select to enable publishing MI modem alarm item values.

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.

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.

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.
