AEMC INSTRUMENTS 99 MAN 100386 v3 43 AEMC INSTRUMENTS DATA LOGGERS ALARMS CONFIGURATION After setting up all channels you can configure alarms to indicate error or exception conditions You must choose which channel must be used for the alarm what the alarm condition is and what the set point trigger value for the alarm is For example you can select an analog temperature channel to alarm when the temperature exceeds a critical threshold or a digital input channel to alarm when your state is different from the expected value A hysteresis can be configured to prevent a marginal condition such as an input that hovers around the set point value which would generate multiple alarm events In some cases like when the alarm channel is a digital input the hysteresis does not make much sense and should be maintained at 0 Whenever a digital channel is used for an alarm hysteresis shall not be used must be configured with Each alarm can have one or more associated actions You should then choose what actions should be performed on the occurrence of an alarm or event different actions are organized by tabs The available actions are activation of relays activation of digital outputs if they are configured to be triggered by an alarm sending of e mails to one or more receivers selected from among the ones configured on the Ethernet interface configuration page sending a SNMP trap and the start and or st

L The following services are available MODBUS TCP The Data Logger can be enabled to communicate through Modbus TCP protocol widely used in SCADA systems By enabling this functionality the Data Logger will act as a Modbus TCP server allowing channel values as well as status and configuration information to be read and written by external software applications Enabling the gateway functionality assuming the device is configured as a Modbus RTU RS485 master the Data Logger can forward Modbus requests to slaves connected to the Modbus RTU network The Data Logger must be accessed by the ID 255 Any other ID will be assumed to be targeting a Modbus RTU RS485 slave through Data Logger by the gateway function In this case if this functionality is enabled the data packet will be forwarded to the RS485 bus The gateway functionality works as a multiplexer receiving all the simultaneous Modbus TCP connections and putting them in a line to be sent to the Modbus RTU network one at a time Due to this line in a worst case scenario Modbus TCP clients timeout should be set as long or longer than Modbus RTU master timeout configured in the Remote Channels screen multiplied by the number of the active Modbus TCP connections If the client Modbus TCP timeout is shorter than that value a timeout must occur instead of an exception code OBh Gateway Target Device Failed to Respond in a missing slave situation SENDING E MAILS SM
