Device Data Fields

PV1 Priority - Enter “/ ” slash as the eighth character in tag number to set PV1 as “priority” PV in DE (digital) data broadcast, if all four PVs are selected for broadcast (turned ON). See “Selecting PVs for Broadcast” on next page for an explanation on the broadcast of PVs.

Normally, PV1 has the number 1 priority unless all four PVs are selected for broadcast. Then, PV4 has the number 1 priority, PV1 is second, PV2 is third, and PV3 is fourth. However, you can set PV1 to have the top priority and PV4 to be second by entering a “/” as the eighth character in the Tag ID.

Note that the transmission rate for the various PVs depends on the number of PVs that are selected for broadcast. When more than one PV is selected, the “priority” PV is sent every other broadcast cycle.

See the SCT help and on-line user manual for descriptions and procedures for filling in the remaining data fields of the Device tab card.
